The Healing Powers of Dude TV review - Aussieboyreviews
WILL THE JOKES IN THE HEALING POWERS OF DUDE ONLY AMUSE YOUNG CHILDREN?
The humour throughout this series is definitely mainly targeted for young children, and misses opportunities to have serious moments. Overall, it’s a fun but silly comedy show.
Storyline
When Noah, an 11-year-old boy with social anxiety disorder, must start middle school, he finds strength and comfort is a support dog named Dude.

Aussie boy's thoughts
Plenty of childish humour, non-serious themes centring on social anxiety disorder, and a dog that says silly sentences in voiceovers; The Healing Powers of Dude is really a series that will appeal and amuse young children. Obviously, everything is portrayed in an extremely light-hearted fashion in order to entertain kids, but why not shed some seriousness on the show’s drama topic? There’s really fun moments and it’s not too horribly paced, but it’s deeply unrealistic and misses the chance to provide some really important life messages.
