This show is just cool. It's got good vibes, good design, a cool world that feels internally consistent, and good themes. In a world that refuses to understand the weird stuff that exists in it, Helda is curious and empathic to the weird stuff, and tries to understand their motives and desires. She regularly sees the good in things like trolls and other creatures, and makes connections others can't. Her relationships with her friends and mom can be strained at times, but they find common ground and learn to be better friends and family.
My kiddo digs it, and I as well.
I enjoyed it a lot when I watched it, and read the comics. The one warning I have, it really threw my partner from the UK for a loop hearing british accents with american vocabulary. The writers are american, the voice actors are british, it was a bit confusing for them. Every time they heard "flashlight" instead of "torch" they would point it out, it was a bit cute :3 .
