    It's fine! The decision was made to double down on exposition for this reintroduction to Alex Rider and his undercover world, which leads to long stretches of narrative clunkiness. But it feels like a reasonable eight-episode set-up for a fun series.

    The series will probably benefit from the fact that adults don’t have the bandwidth at the moment to cope with much more than it offers. With any luck, it will buy Alex Rider time to find its feet, decide on its audience and fully realise the vision that floats just underneath the spectacle.

    The new Alex Rider is pacy, polished and safe. It’s hard to imagine anyone hating it, but there is something slightly clinical about the exercise, too.

Being a James Bond and Kingsmen fan, I really enjoyed watching this 'ordinary' kid turned 'spy' scenario. Lots of action sequences mixed with 'average teen' type angst, actually works! For those into action type shows, this is definitely a Must See!… Full Review »
