As an exceptionally brilliant inventor with unlimited resources and unimaginable wealth, the devilishly charming Tom Swift is a man whom many men would kill to be, or be with -- a man with the world in the palm of his hand. That world gets shaken to its core after the shocking disappearance of his father, thrusting Tom into an adventure full of mysterious conspiracies and unexplained phenomena. On his whirlwind quest to unravel the truth, Tom finds himself fighting to stay one step ahead of an Illuminati-scale cabal hellbent on stopping him. Tackling this treacherous pursuit armed with his vast intellect, his roguish wit, and an endless supply of designer sneakers, he will also rely on his closest companions: his best friend Zenzi, his bodyguard Isaac and his AI, Barclay.

Caroline Framke Variety 05/31/2022
"Tom Swift” suffers from a surprising lack of imagination given all the ostensibly impressive innovation at the heart of the Swift empire. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 09/13/2022
Tom Swift gets too stuck in its leaden dialogue and attempts at being edgy to tell a conspiracy story that makes any sense. Go to Full Review Mads Misasi Tell-Tale TV 06/01/2022
4/5
From the start, things are intense and filled with mystery. The writers do a fantastic job of trying to draw us in by presenting complicated and interesting characters right out the gate. Go to Full Review Jamie Broadnax Black Girl Nerds 06/01/2022
4/5
It took everything in me not to jump up and down with every fiber of my being hearing a fictional character acknowledge both his Blackness and nerdiness in the same breath. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 05/31/2022
The title character is a welcome departure, but the plotting is patented CW fare. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

y h @RT78948017 Sep 24 I actually loved the show and thought that it needed a change in writers to give it that umph that it called for. I don’t think it got the love that it should’ve gotten from those in charge. See more Trevor H @Trevor258 05/22/2024 It looks like the writers of Star Trek Discovery season 4 found their way into doing another series. What an absolute load of stinking rotten tomatoes... Oh....my father thought i was too soft and he didn't love me....boo frigging hoo. Can the studios please stop employing little woek children to tell stories they learned from kindergarten books. See more Bruce R @RT60933325 01/16/2023 I read the Tom Swift books when I was a kid so I was excited to see a TV show adaptation of this lesser known character and story. It took them less than 10 minutes into the first episode to completely ruin it. The writing and acting are terrible, and the overall tone is nothing like the books. To even say this is "based on the Tom Swift novels" would be a stretch. Don't waste your time. Absolutely horrible. A real missed opportunity. Disappointing. See more brian m @RT02986684 09/15/2022 When something is this bad it makes you marvel at how it's even possible for something like this to get made. See more Calandra P @RT76743444 08/16/2022 This show was super dope and I really hate that it didn't get the push and support it deserved. I absolutely loved the black tech inverter story, the history lessons imbedded in the story lines and the weekly adventures. Tom Swift deserve a second season!
