What the press said:
“Slick and stylish… [Alex Rider] will keep the whole family entertained”

“It’s good. Maybe really good. Doctor Who-level family stuff.”

“What greater compliment can there be from a target audience of Anthony Horowitz’s teenage spy adventure than to take your parents hostage until every episode has been watched, so what happened in this TV previewers house.”
