"“Bluey mania” shows no sign of abating. Bluey’s season finale, The Sign,
was the most viewed ABC program of all time on iView.

A “hidden” follow-up episode, aptly named The Surprise, created a storm of
headlines around the world, many of which have a decidedly adult tone.

As highlighted in social media fan communities and articles, the show has
struck a chord with adults, many of whom aren’t parents. What do they get from
a show that is ostensibly “for kids”?"

Share and enjoy,
