Episode Eight

And so ends this odd amalgamation of both the first and second Alex Rider books for TV.

If you've been able to suspend your disbelief along the way, not to mention the fact that it's awfully talky for a supposed high octane spy series, then you'll find a lot to like about this finale.

Tom's t-shirt though at the end is possibly one of the only examples of humour in the whole run though. The book is quite dryly funny, and a lot of that has been lost here.

I'm not saying they should go the other way (the way the 2006 film of 'Stormbreaker' did), but a happy medium could've been found.

A little bit stretched at 8 parts, but good overall.
