Dot and her fellow middle-school friends tackle problems that transcend age. Their unique way of doing it is as "webtectives," with Dot donning her fedora and grabbing her notebook while Makayla helps her with interviews and Alex captures video for Dot's vlog. The interviews are with knowledgeable, kind, sensitive adults on subjects ranging from perfectionism, miscommunication, disobedience, insecurity, cheating, getting lost, and struggles with sense of worth and identity.

Each episode includes a segment that departs from live action into lively animation that includes illustrations of biblical principles put into practice way beyond middle-school situations. This is a refreshing approach and fun to watch. The messages stick with you and are good for discussion afterwards with friends and family. I hope to see more seasons of Dot Conner: Webtective as the talented actors grow. The show can easily adapt into high-school, college, and beyond. Younger viewers will like seeing principled people their age who speak their language, tech and otherwise. Older viewers will benefit by learning those languages and being encouraged by seeing wisdom at work among the young.
