I find it to be a good thing that WBB is just a silly little cartoon (and a very good one at that) with nothing more. It\'s very refreshing from all the Cerebus Syndrome, Periphery Demographic-appealing, full of deep, dark themes shows that are so popular amongst networks and fans now. I would say it actually restored my faith in the possibility that cartoons with nothing more to them than simple silliness could be liked in the 2010s.

Sweet, mindless fun
Firstly and most importantly: If you're expecting a show with the level of depth other current kids' shows like Steven Universe and Adventure Time offer, you're going to be disappointed. This isn't that type of show. But! That's not to say it isn't good in its own way.
I've not read the webcomic but I feel like its roots as one show - it'd be easy to translate it into a newspaper comic and it wouldn't feel out of place. Episodes are short and fast but very funny, relying more on character reactions and sudden, silly twists for its gags than on toilet humour or slapstick. And, as an added bonus, there's the occassional 'over the heads of kids' joke, usually delivered by Ice Bear (who is my favourite).
In short, watch We Bare Bears if you want to turn your brain off and enjoy an adorable show about bears trying to fit in in the human world. Don't expect anything mind-blowing or ground-breaking, but do expect to be at least mildly amused for 10 minutes or so.
