The “Young Indiana Jones” is officially off our Netflix queue. In the early episodes, while Indy was a young boy, it was appropriate for the kids. It was interesting to see Indy in different parts of the world interacting with different historical figures.
As happens in real life, as the series progressed, Indy started to grow up and clearly the target audience changed. In the episode we watched the other night, Indy met Mata Hari. I don’t know a lot of facts about Mata Hari, but I do know that she was a spy and I thought the boys would find that interesting. As we were watching the episode, I started to get an alarming feeling. At this point, most of the suggestive dialogue was going over the boys’ heads, but I could tell that Indy’s interest in Mata Hari was becoming intense. I turned the tv off just as Indy – in all his glory - lost his virginity to Mata Hari. Whew!
What a bummer! The boys and I were really disappointed that the show took this turn. Son #2 said, “Why did he have to go and get all mushy?”
