Why Your Family May Enjoy BOSS BABY Season 3 on Netflix

By Jenny Frye, Contributing Writer

BOSS BABY: BACK IN BUSINESS is the animated series based on the popular kids’ movie BOSS BABY released in 2017. The series includes three seasons, with the latest season containing 11 episodes.

Season 3 follows Boss Baby as he joins a playgroup with regular babies, after he has been removed from Baby Corp and is left unemployed. Boss Baby feels lost with no direction after being ousted from the office, and now has a new mission in mind to take down the Bubeezee company. Bubbeezee creates overpriced baby toys that monitor babies at all times and limit their movements. In order to get his job back at Baby Corp, Boss Baby uses the help of his playgroup to take down Bubbeezee and the corrupt CEO.

Season 3 of BOSS BABY is really entertaining and comical and could even be enjoyed by parents who watch with their children. Some of the overarching themes in the season are empathy, compassion and, most noticeably, free will. Boss Baby shows compassion toward a quiet child in his play group and fixes a situation to make her more comfortable. Additionally, the playgroup has empathy for parents and recognize that parents are afraid of doing something wrong in their job as parents. The children confirm that they love their parents by hugging and cuddling with them. One character turns evil for an episode but is reminded that he is a “good kid,” and returns to his previous ways.

The most prominent theme is that babies should have free will and be able to make mistakes and grow. Therefore, Boss Baby makes it his mission to destroy Bubeezee products that monitor the playgroup’s every move.

Boss Baby quotes that “babies aren’t easy, and life is unpredictable.” He says that instead of trying to avoid fear with controlling toys, the babies should “look fear in the eye”.

Bubeezee’s CEO uses fearmongering to entice parents to buy overpriced toys that will guard their children, reaffirming parent insecurity about parenting well. At the end of the season, the parents realize that they are good parents and don’t need toys to take care of their own children. The playgroup is now allowed to play like regular babies, even if they make messes, mistakes, or get hurt.

Some of the elements in BOSS BABY are questionable.

For example, while there is no overt use of foul language, a baby uses implied cuss words by babbling angrily. This happens multiple times throughout the series. Additionally, there is an overabundance of potty humor such as vomit, fart noises and burping. These aspects can be expected from a show about babies; however, it can be excessive.

There are two scenes where Boss Baby is completely naked, though his private parts are censored. Regarding violence, the show does a pretty good job keeping it clean, but from time to time there will be slapstick violence where the babies shove each other or fall. Lastly, there are two babies with the nicknames “Shover” and “Mega Fat” which are interesting choices for baby characters.

Overall, the series is entertaining and has interesting characters. There aren’t elements that would be overly offensive, but some aspects are questionable. Moreover, the show does have a pretty good message and highlights that it is important for kids be able to grow and make mistakes, and that no one is perfect.
