The Villains of Valley View
Parent and Kid Reviews
Based on 6 parent reviews
What's the Story?
In THE VILLAINS OF VALLEY VIEW, teenage villain Havoc defends her mother by standing up to the League of Villains. Now on the run, her entire family is forced to change their identities and relocate to Valley View, a small suburb in Texas. There they must suppress their villain tendencies and learn to lead "normal" lives. Will they be able to keep their true identities a secret?
Is It Any Good?
This Disney show caters to young audiences with its silly antics and somewhat cheesy punchlines. But because The Villains of Valley View features the plight of the whole family, there's a little something for everyone. The concept is comical and makes way for some suspense, though it's not totally original. The Villains of Valley View is reminiscent of Nickelodeon's The Thundermans, a show about a family with superpowers who try to live normal lives in a small town.
