Storyline

When Alex Rider learns that his uncle Ian has been killed in the line of duty as a British spy - and not in a car accident like he's been told - everything changes for this otherwise normal teen. He is approached by Alan Blunt, head of a shadowy offshoot of MI6 known as The Department, who reveals that Alex has been unknowingly trained since childhood for the dangerous world of espionage. Pressured to help investigate his uncle's death - and how it connects to the assassination of two high-profile billionaires - Alex reluctantly assumes a new identity and goes undercover in a remote boarding school called Point Blanc. Isolated far above the snowline in the French Alps, Point Blanc claims to set the troubled teenage children of the ultra-rich back onto the right track. But as he digs deeper, Alex discovers that the students are in fact the subjects of a disturbing plan by the mysterious Doctor Greif - a plan which he will have to risk his life to stop.

I really wanted to love this but i can't
2 July 2020 | by Isaaclk_See all my reviews

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.
