Musa A @doodleflame Aug 20, 2026 Its pretty good. Fun and good for preteens/early teens, but wasn't in line with the books.

From the writers and directors to the casting team, actors, costume designers, makeup artists, hairstylists, location scouts, and the entire production crew—your work created one of the most enjoyable and well-balanced series I have ever watched. The storytelling was engaging, the casting was exceptional, the wardrobe and visual design were outstanding, and the locations brought the world to life. Every department contributed something special, and it showed on screen. Many of us are saddened that the journey has come to an end, because we would have happily watched Seasons 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and beyond. Thank you for creating a series that will remain a favorite in our libraries for years to come.

See more Josh D @RT07278498 Jan 27, 2025 Alex Rider Season 1 is what happens when you take a perfectly ordinary teenager, throw him headfirst into a world of espionage, and watch as he somehow doesn’t immediately perish in a dramatically inconvenient way. It’s a slick, fast-paced adventure that somehow manages to be both thrillingly modern and delightfully old-school, as if James Bond had a rebellious teenage nephew who never asked permission before saving the world. Otto Farrant plays Alex with just the right mix of wide-eyed innocence and terrifying competence, making it entirely believable that MI6 would see a schoolboy and think, Ah yes, that’s exactly who we need for this life-or-death mission. The action sequences are sharp, stylish, and surprisingly intense, proving that even a teenager with a backpack can outrun heavily armed professionals if sufficiently motivated. The supporting cast is fantastic, with villains who are just the right amount of sinister and allies who look permanently exhausted from trying to keep Alex alive. Ultimately, Alex Rider Season 1 is a ridiculously fun ride, filled with gadgets, danger, and enough twists to make your GPS give up entirely—and honestly, isn’t that exactly what a spy series should be? See more Kurt S @RT56095396 Aug 28, 2024 Great show and really great production. Even though it mostly follows the books, there are a few parts that don't follow the books and also make no sense. The casting overall is alright, but the castings for Jack and Sabina are just utterly terrible. Jack and Sabina from the old Stormbreaker movie fit much better with the books. The new castings for these two roles specifically are just... Bad. Smithers looks nothing like he's described in the books, which may make it difficult if the show reaches the plot of Scorpia Rising, but the change is likeable enough that it's honestly a welcome change. Sometimes the casting for Alex can seem a bit out of place because of how ordinary he comes off, but honestly, him being ordinary isn't really a bad fit. Overall though, acting is really well done from most of the roles. The major differences made in the plot are more of an annoyance than anything, though. Skipping Stormbreaker is forgiveable due to already having the movie, so I understand. And they seem to mostly integrate this well into the show, so I have no complaints here. But when a crucial moment in Point Blanc is skipped altogether in order to have more time with the random guy shooting at Alex beforehand, it's a poor move. Alex saving Friend and rejecting her is such a crucial part to the first book. Also Kaira's implementation is really odd, and neither the casting nor the character makes for a good love interest either, which seems to be attempted. I also don't see any reason to skip Skeleton Key. It may not be my favourite, but it's still a part of the series. Other than major missed points and add-ins from the books though, a really great retelling in this show. See more Read all reviews
