How it feels

A kid-run agency called Odd Squad solves strange problems using math and logic. When an adult organization called the Weird Team puts them out of business and creatures called Daves start appearing, the Odd Squad agents race to get their jobs back. It is a comedy where the heroes are young and the villains are baffling.
