reception
The series was criticized by the Enid Blyton Society because the characters are moved into the modern age and so the audience gets the impression that Five Friends is about "technical gimmicks and multi-culturalism" . The characters are very different from the books and the series doesn't have much in common with Enid Blyton's work.
