This show reminds me of my childhood, both the entertainment I loved and the stuff I did.
The main characters are twins Dipper and Mabel. Dipper is smart, but a little uptight, and wants be be seen as older than he is. Mabel, on the otherhand, is energetic, eccentric and maybe a little crazy. Their relationship, however, is what makes them shine. They are neither rivals nor exactly alike. They argue sometimes, but they ultimately love one another. You believe that they're real kids and real siblings.
We also have their hilarious grand uncle that they're staying with for the summer. They call him Gruncle Stan. He's a con artist who runs The Mystery Shack. Working there is cool girl Wendy who Dipper crushes on, and their man-child mentor Sues.
But all is not well in the town of Gravity Falls. There is mystery afoot. Yes, the town is overrun with strange goings-on, and Dipper and Mabel are in the midst of it.
The show runs on both humor and mystery. It should appeal to children with some of its content, but I'm 23 and I love the hell out of every episode. I'm often genuinely invested in what's going on, and the humor always gets a laugh out of me. Whether it's obscure references, getting stuff under teh radar, or visual jokes, it's always funny.
Worth watching
