On kid sitting duty we have watched The negotiator episode from Boss Baby Back in Business season 3 with my nephew 11 and niece 9. They introduced me some time ago and it’s one of the few made for kids programs, thanks Dreamworks, where the jokes are sophisticated and the stories kinda mental health coaching for kids.

The premise of the show is The Boss Baby has a job and a boss outside of his family environment and takes his big brother Templeton, to the office with him to show him the ropes.

Boss Baby is not the head honcho at the Baby Corp Love Corporation. His boss is Super Collosall big fat boss baby (who has a camp German accent and wheels around in a baby walker) where their purpose is to ensure cute babies are all loved and to create happiness for everyone and where representatives out in the field, Staci, Jimbo, Tim and the Triplets help Boss Baby get things done and solve the challenges of the day.

It’s clever and very funny.

In the negotiator episode Boss Baby teaches his brother templeton in a very funny way not just the art of real life negotiation but there’s also some really common sense education married with humour in there too.

Not sure I’ll ever watch without the little people over. Got to congratulate the writer, though for this forward thinking and fast paced franchise.

Not surprised it’s a global phenomenon.

The funniest part of the whole evening was when the 11 year old, an expert on Netflix, logged himself in with alacrity to his own family account to save me having to pay to watch on Prime.

He explained to me when we’d finished watching I must log out as only two people could watch at any one time on Netflix, a boss baby in the making.
