"Alexa and Katie" is a Netflix original series about Alexa learning she's going to lose her hair due to cancer treatment, and how her best friend Katie shaves her hair off so they could experience it together.
Despite its subject matter, the show is very lighthearted as a whole and takes the route of "Hannah Montana" in the way that it's a fun buddy comedy targeted towards tweens. Even though its target audience is very young, "Alexa and Katie" is one of today's genuinely good kid shows. The friendship between the two titular characters is a very supportive one, and the parents in the show are not total idiots, unlike what we are used to in these types of programs.
It shows that even though Alexa has cancer, she's still a normal girl and goes through what every freshman girl goes through: wanting to go to dances, being willing to break the rules to have fun, and wondering if the guy she likes feels the same way.
