This series was my shit back in the day. I feel like I've sorta moved past my interest in it, but it's cool to see a quality-looking adaptation!

That's quite the flashback. Didn't now they're making a TV series. Can't watch right now, but does it look good and what channel?

I love Anthony Horowitz's adult stuff (pls read Magpie Murders) so I checked out the first Alex Rider book recently. Not too bad. Seems like it deserved better than that first adaptation.

I haven't read these books in probably close to a decade, but I really enjoyed them when I was younger. I'll have to give this a shot.

Will Check it out. Loved the books. I realized just how stacked the cast was in the film version which was kind of bad.

Damn I gotta go check this out then.

I got a pack of 3 of these from one of those scholastic book fair catalogues. Eagle Strike, Scorpio Rising, and another one I forget.

I read through Eagle Strike in like 4 days. I was damn near addicted to that book.

The books were sooo good. I stopped with the one where Alex was on a beach though. Do these things hold up? Might have to run back through em and finish the series.

How's the show so far?

Man, I loved these books when I was a kid. To this day, whenever I hear "Man O War" I think of the jellyfish scene in the (first?) book.

I enjoyed the series.

Seems like a fun book to start with and I'm happy didn't do the thing where living a double life from his close friends.

I liked it, but it was pretty slow. Don't remember Point Blanc that way, but it has been like 18 years.
I think I'd prefer Stormbreaker being adapted to include Scorpia rather than skipping right to book 2.
E: Looking online Scorpia wasn't even a thing till book 4, but I stopped reading after Book 6 and 7 where Alex goes into space and then lands in an Australian paramilitary base.

I haven't gotten around to watching this yet but I was surprised to hear Eagle Strike is the second season. Presumably because Yassen isn't in book 3?
