Do we like Bingo Heeler?

A character from Bluey (2018–present)

Our score: 10 out of 10. Yes, easily. She's kind, curious and brave in her own quiet way, and the show works better when she's in it. We'd back her in any game, even a bad one.

Bingo is the younger daughter of Bandit and Chilli, and little sister to Bluey, in the Australian animated series Bluey. The show follows the Heeler family through everyday life, and most episodes turn into big imaginative games. Bingo is a Red Heeler like her mum. Her official profile calls her a little ball of energy who is kind, curious and determined.

Bingo's whole world is pretend play. She might be a butterfly, a character from a favourite game, or a customer in Bluey's latest invention. She is quieter than Bluey and often lets her sister lead. Sometimes she drifts into her own little world. Keeping up with Bluey's rules can be a challenge, but Bingo finds her own way through.

That's why she scores a 10. She is sensitive and feels things deeply, and the show treats that as a good quality. She is loyal and creative. She is also stubborn when she needs to be, and she won't be left out of a game for long. She does very little harm, and everything she does comes from affection for the people around her.
