Carmen Sandiego

When I first found out about this series, I thought it was a kiddie/girl series. But That was definently not what it is. Love the Graphics Style, character designs and overall tone of the series. I will gladly recommend this series to my closest friends. U developers deserve some praise. Hope session 2 is gonna be this amazing also.

A femme fatale/complex heroine from Buenos Aires, international travel, action and suspense - what's not to like? Not surprisingly, it's a slightly bigger hit with Sienna (as compared to, say, Avatar, which the kiddos seem to enjoy equally); but we all love the Boston sidekicks and their accent. I vaguely remember the computer game from the 80s (did I play it on my Apple IIe?), but there doesn't seem to be any resemblance.

First watched - 2019-2020. Update: season 4 watched 2021, Seb didn't like that she temporarily worked for VILE, but it all worked out at the end of the season!

The new 'Carmen Sandiego' is absolutely binge-worthy. I just watched the entire first season in one go. I think it was a very good decision to make it rather a prequel instead of a remake. This way, fans of the old show (like me) get thrilles when old characters show up before they became what they were in the 90s show. I especially loved a certain cameo scene in an elevator, but no spoilers here. Talking of characters, all of them are well-written and interesting. I love how they have managed to include 'The Player". This brings me to my only point of criticism though: The gender equality is way off balance on this show, and it takes a lot for me to notice such a thing. Apart from The Player, all male characters are dull and clumsy, while all leaders on the show are women, and all women are agile and smart. This was just a bit too much even for me. I hope season two manages to balance this out a bit better - and I hope we won't have to wait too long for the show to continue because season 1 was great fun!

Like many on here have said, I was skeptical of this re-do, but the team behind Carmen Sandiego really nailed it! My seven-year-old daughter loves Carmen, and we're currently on our third round watching the series. I was a little unsure as the first episode opens, but I like where they took the story, and the motivations they gave Carmen to excel. The animation style is modern and crisp, and the voice acting is great. Well done, another great entry from Netflix!

It's like a blend of Kim Possible and Leverage, can't wait for season 2
