Alex Rider 2020

I get who it's aimed at and even though there are holes it's surprisingly fun :blush:

Ok, I finally completed Alex Rider. It kept me interested and looking forward to season 2. And they better not cancel season 2 either, or somebody in that studio is going to get severely cussed out by ME!!! This cancellation business has become too much of trend lately.

This show is awesome! Was pleasantly surprised by it. It has teens in it but zero teen drama and no cringe. It’s just awesome smart action. This, Gangs of London, and The Bodyguard are some quality English shows. I hope they don’t start following the US in pushing teen drama cringe politically agendas too soon.

pleasantly surprised I thought it was going to be be very teen orientated however story and action makes me want to see what's in store

Pretty good show. Kept me interested. Looking forward to season 2. Amazing soundtrack. This is one of the better Spy thriller type of shows. I know it’s YG but still, they did a great job. Much better than crappy ass Netflix originals. Watch this show. You won’t be disappointed.

Finished S2 last night and it was FANTASTIC!!!! I really enjoy this story. Now I am praying for Season 3. I need a Season 3!!!

As an American, I'm a little iffy when it comes to certain UK genres. I normally like comedy and classic detective type UK movies. But I took a chance, and by the 4th episode I'm hooked. Otto Farrant is a really good actor, however, I didn't appreciate him until about episode 4, when he got shot at. Then it came together for me. I had to make compensations for the fact that he's still a kid, and after he got shot at, it became real for his character. I'm definitely looking forward to watching the rest of the show.

season 2 set to begin shooting Jan 2021

Finally finished all 3 seasons. It's was good for a teen spy show, the bar is low but it was fun. I wish they had more character growth because he never reached his full potential. I really wished there would be a cool fight at the end between Yassen and the main s3 bad guy but it was cut so short. The cinematography, music, and story were good but the action was a let down.

Great show, not a "teen" silly show at all. Looking forward to a season 3 hopefully.

got hooked and binged it

Not a bad show!! Pleasantly surprised overall.

However as the show goes along - especially the last 3 episodes, you have to completely suspend reality because so many questions come up and the holes to logic become bigger and bigger. The final episode is just stupid... in fact if it was removed entirely, the story would have been much better! There was zero need for episode 8, as it wrapped up perfectly in episode 7.

6.5/10

I just watched the 2006 movie of this show called, "Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker" on Amazon Prime. After watching the movie, the ending suggested a movie series or a TV series. Well guess what? Here it is "Alex Rider" (2020) on Amazon Prime. The movie is a good family spy movie. It is also based on a series of spy novels by British author Anthony Horowitz about a teenage spy named Alex Rider. The series is aimed primarily at teens and young adults. The series comprises thirteen novels, as well as six graphic novels, seven short stories, and a supplementary book. Wikipedia

:heart:x7
I expected to see some kind of lame Nickelodeon/Disney-esque style show. I was very surprised to see that it was much more adult and the material was being taken seriously.

I hope a season 2 will materialize.

update season 2
Season 2 turned out to be excellent as well. Alex is a more seasoned, natural spy than any of the professionals in this show, which is reason enough to watch.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

Awesome. Looking forward for second season.

I’m so mad! I love Alex Rider. I read all the books in my youth and now I can’t watch the show. Geo-restrictions suck!!!!
