Review of Alex Rider

Alex Rider (2020–2024)
6/10
I really wanted to love this but i can't
2 July 2020
I've read the vast majority of Alex rider books when i was in primary school, i'm now 18, and i was so interested to see how they were going to adapt the point blanc novel to the screen - especially after the highly mentioned and awful film. I mainly found myself continuing to watch the series not because it was gripping but because i simply wanted to relight that childhood me and those memories. The whole change of smithers character was disappointing. No humor and lack of cool gadgets. I kinda hate all the MI6 people and although there are some high profile actors that make it up, they all seem rubbish in this. The way Ian dies originally is much more exciting than how he dies in this series too. In all honestly, i'm not a fan of this Russian guy side plot. Also, there are far too many plot holes it's kinda impossible not to easily pick up on a few. That all being said, i think they've made a decent basis for further seasons and i would love to see more.
