Ceci (Blanca Ordaz)

I don’t think, as a kid, tween, or when I was weening myself from Nick or Disney, any of the girls (on TV) talked about getting their period, never mind the first time they did. You got them being boy crazy, having dreams about their career, but their menstrual cycle? That was taboo.

That is why a part of us loves Death and Deathability (A Period Piece). It gives us this wonderful lead character, Ceci, who is precocious, without seeming like she has no social skills. She has a good vocabulary and even teaches the audience the definition of the words she uses, and while a tad dramatic about dying, it’s adorable and entertaining. I’d even say, if my Goddaughter were older, I’d have her watch this with me. Heck, considering how long shows take to get off the ground, I hope Ponce is able to make this into a show on Nick, Disney (likely Disney+), or another network.

Overall

Rating: Positive (Worth Seeing)Recommended

I‘m 95% sure this will be my favorite thing to come out of Urban World 2021, and I so dearly hope Ponce can expand this into a show. I don’t think, since Andi Mack, I have been so invested in a show about a child young enough to be my kid. And between Ceci enhancing viewers’ vocabulary, her growing up, and maybe having to travel throughout the series, so much could be done that it is hard not to get giddy about the possibilities.

Who Is This For?
Death & Deathability (A Period Piece) is for those who appreciate smart (potential) children's programming. The kind that acknowledges all that it means to be a kid, especially in this new generation with access to so much information yet still holds this certain level of naivety still.
