Carmen Sandiego

As someone who enjoys Spy thievery espionage type stuff like James bond, sly I found Carmen Sandiego quite enjoyable, I feel like it could be a big hit because it's very high quality and well produced. The music is excellent and the opening is incredible. Carmen is a really likable protagonist, Player is cool, and the action is well choreographed, and at the end of the season the mystery and cliff hangers make you want more. however what holds the show back is i'm not quite sure what demographic it's trying to reach it constantly shifts from wanting to be some what mature to doing something more in line for a regular kids show would do. Its really weird after the becoming Carmen sandiego episodes the first 4 or so episodes are a lot more "kiddie" while the more mature story lines of the back 3 episodes of the season seem more mature. I personally think the more mature episodes fit the show better but that my opinion. I also really don't like Zack or Ivy they just don't seem to fit the tone of the show, and come across as annoying comic relief that I dont think the show really needs; however luckily there characters were reduced a lot in the back half of the season so that's was good. Which is probably why the back half of the season was better. So my verdict is It's a really good start with glimpses of greatness and in the future I hope the show continues on the more mature route because I think that's where it shines, and either Ditch Zack and Ivy or write them to be better characters because there honestly just annoying comic relief

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!

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!

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.

I remember loving this show as a kid. And the game! Loving the new series as an adult. Im reminded of how much more I knew about the world as a child. Offers a great opportunity to teach youngsters about the world; geography, trade, culture and tradition, climate, species etc.
