This Netflix Original really doesn't work at all. I can't see anything worthwhile that would grab anyone's attention when watching this because everything from the animation, writing and character interactions just falls apart. It just feels really kiddy which I understand is the target audience but why base a kids series on an adult movie franchise that has elements that this show is too afraid to show?
So, the story is pretty straight forward; bunch of kids are undercover operatives infiltrating a criminal gang set on controlling the world. On the surface, the story is okay but as the plot moves along each episode, your eyes will roll as you realise that half of the stupid decisions these characters take are just there to keep the story rolling. At some point, you learn the backstory of the main villain and is seeking revenge but then after that, he acts like a complete idiot as opposed to his slight cool persona.
The animation is subpar at best. There were maybe two or three shots that were alright but the rest just felt cheaply placed and amateurish. The character dialogue was really really cringy and each person basically played up a stereotype where it treats the audience like they were dumb.
Just watch Carmen Sandiego instead. It's more engaging than whatever this show tried so hard to be.
