Lovely
Ok so I'm 27 and I used to watch Tracy beaker every night after school so when I saw this I had to watch it even if it was on cbbc and honestly it was just such a lovely watch to see how the character of Tracy has developed. I just wish there was a few more episodes to really get more of an insight but it did say TBC at the end of the last episode so maybe I'll get my wish! It would be nice to see where the other characters were too but I understand most of them were very young when they filmed the original so it would be hard to get them all on board.
Overall I definitely recommend it's a short easy watch so why not give it a try!

Wooden acting, poor storytelling where do we start!
Absolutely unfathomable that Tracy could be with a premier league footballer, sean godfrey. Which, for some reason they only refer to him as sean godfrey and not just sean. Which gets exponentially more infuriating each time his name is mentioned. The scene where Justine Littlewood is booted in the café by tracy is laughable at most, if not just plain lazy. Thought they could've utilised Peter a bit more as his inclusion is nothing but a mere cameo. This show had potential. They could've included some of the classic tracy beaker characters like the wellards or elaine the pain. Not surprised that this nostalgia cash in has done okay on the iplayer. However, from a critics perspective, it leaves a lot to be desired.

A well thought out continuation to Tracy's story well done to the cast and crew I cannot wait to see more of Tracy's journey to come
Just watched the episodes of My Mum Tracy Beaker. Wow how amazing so worth the wait glad Tracy Beaker is finally back on our screens. When you watch the first episode it leaves you thinking that everything is happening so quickly, but this is designed to make us feel how Jess Beaker is feeling a bit overwhelmed with the whole situation I am sure we can all relate to especially in recent times. The next two episodes delved into the story further showing there's more than meets the eye to people than you initially thought. I did not expect the ending , but like everything there's even more to the story as it is a journey. Well done Emma who portrayed Jess really well bringing Tracy Beakers daughters personality to a very high standard, which is very similar to Tracy in some ways like not putting up with people who do not treat her right, but Jess differs from Tracy in other ways by being more compassionate and kinder towards people and Jess likes following the rules too. Even though Tracy is a lovely person deep down she can be misread as she has still has that Tracy temper on her, nevertheless Tracy has been through a lot in her journey. With Jess we know that Tracy has done a very good job at raising her right and wanting the best for her. Another well done to Dani on bringing Tracy's coolness and attitude back to the screen, whilst showing that Tracy has grown up so much even though she has had a difficult life she has managed to turn out well being a bit kinder and trusting to more people like when she met her arch enemy Justine again it was great to see Tracy give her another chance even though Justine obviously betrayed Tracy's trust again. Overall such a well acted story and I cannot wait to see more as Tracy's and Jess story is not over yet anyone who thinks it is can in Tracy's words BOG OFF!!
