The InBESTigators is an Australian children's television series created by Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope for ABC3. The show first premiered on June 14, 2019, and has since gained acclaim for its clever writing, catchy theme song, and excellent acting performances. The show follows a group of four quirky primary school students who form their own detective agency to solve mystery cases in their local community. The students are Maudie Miller (Abby Bergman), who is the group's leader and also the most serious and smartest of the group; Ezra Banks (Aston Droomer), who is the resident tech whiz and has a knack for coming up with clever inventions to help the group in their investigations; Ava Andrikides (Anna Cooke), the observation expert who is always closely watching and observing the world around her, and Kyle Klimson (Jamil Smyth-Secka), the comic relief who is always making jokes and doing silly things, but still manages to contribute meaningfully to the group's investigations.

The group's cases vary from episode to episode but are always intriguing, funny, and engaging for both children and adults alike. The cases range from finding a missing school mascot to investigating a mysterious neighbor who always seems to be up to something. What is fascinating about the show is that the writers manage to balance the comedic and serious aspects of the show perfectly.

One of the most impressive things about The InBESTigators is how the writers have managed to create such well-developed characters in such a short amount of time. Each character has their own unique personality, quirks, and backstory, which makes them all relatable and likable in their own way. The show is also notable for its commitment to diversity, with a racially and ethnically diverse cast of actors and characters.

In addition to the excellent characters, the show's production values are also top-notch. The show was shot on location in Melbourne, and the city's architecture and urban landscape are used effectively to create an authentically Australian feel. The show's cinematography is also high-quality, with clever camera angles and shots that make the show visually engaging and interesting to watch.

Another key aspect of the show's success is its humor. The show is genuinely funny, with witty writing and clever one-liners that will have both kids and adults laughing out loud. But what is even more impressive is that the show's humor never feels forced or inauthentic. It's a show that can be enjoyed by the entire family, and it exemplifies the best of Australian children's television.

Overall, The InBESTigators is a charming, well-written show that is sure to delight audiences of all ages. Its excellent characters, clever writing, and engaging storylines make it one of the best children's television shows currently airing, and it is definitely worth checking out for anyone who is looking for a fun and engaging show to watch with the whole family.
