First thoughts after watching Ep 1 of @AnthonyHorowitz ‘s Alex Rider. Potential spoilers below, proceed with caution: casting was spot on and characterization was amazing. I was worried about the idea of starting the series off with the second book,

But it worked well, and used material from the first book. I knew the Point Blanc was the original idea to start the books off, but I wasn’t sure how it would play out skipping Stormbreaker. I do know I haven’t looked at the other Ep but if the training scene

With the SAS isn’t included, I’ll be a bit upset as some of my favorite moments and characters come from that section of Stormbreaker. BUT. My all time favorite character Yassen is included in this season, despite not being in the book,

So, I don’t think I can really really complain! I do wonder if they would’ve used the bonus chapter of the failed night navigation rather than the Killing House scene though! I’d vote for both, I love them equally.

Alex Rider has been a huge part of my child- and adulthood. I’m so excited for another chance to see one of my favorite book series brought to life as I did enjoy the movie when it came out.

I’m so excited that it has finally become available in my country for viewing and for the second season being confirmed!
