Kiri and Lou (2019)

A furious little dinosaur and her patient, gentle friend sort through big feelings in a handmade world of clay creatures and cut-paper forest. Kiri explodes, Lou calms things down, and the five-minute episodes resolve a tantrum faster than most real ones. Parents tend to fall for it because of who made it: Jemaine Clement voices Lou with the same soft comic timing he brings to grown-up work, and Don McGlashan's songs are genuinely good. It is a useful one to watch together after a hard day, since it shows a meltdown being handled rather than scolded.
