Me
"Be your own hero."
Overview
New school. New family. New superpower. It's a season of change for 12-year-old Ben Vasani when he discovers that he can transform into anyone he meets. As a shapeshifter, Ben must figure out who he is and who he wants to be.
What critics are saying
Critical reception for Me was generally warm, with reviewers praising its thoughtful, character-driven approach to the superhero genre. Outlets highlighted how the series uses shapeshifting as an effective metaphor for identity and middle-school growing pains, noting that it succeeds most when leaning into family dynamics and tween reality rather than high-stakes spectacle.
While some critics felt the production leaned closer to lower-budget Disney Channel fare that might struggle to engage adult audiences, family-oriented and mainstream outlets commended its gentle tone, solid performances, and nuanced portrayal of stepsibling relationships.
“As a gentle blended-family drama for young viewers, 'Me' is lovely and distinctive.”
“It's a cinematic series with fantastic acting, and the characters feel like real kids.”
“Me plays best when it focuses on the growing pains of adolescence.”
“Me is not a terrible series, but I'm afraid it didn't hit the mark for me, and therefore I can't recommend it for adults.”
