Carmen Sandiego continues the tradition of educational entertainment, but the show has lessons beyond a textbook. It offers an implicit crash course in espionage thriller parlance and conventions, all while giving younger viewers an educational gateway to a bigger world.

It is lovely to look at. It’s also refreshingly laid back in its pacing, despite the thrill built into its premise.

Pretty slick, modern and enjoyable spy thriller. Love the pacing and character development so far. Teaches the audience things about other countries in a rather heavy-handed way, but I can't dock points for cultural education when so many people live in a bubble nowadays.

I loved it. This is one of my ten favorite netflix original series. The animation combines perfectly with the characters and the story.

t’s a bit unfortunate that the educational material is thrown at kids in an expositional lump rather than being threaded throughout the plot of the story itself to make it more meaningful, but that’s clearly not the intention here, for better or worse. Carmen Sandiego has a long way to go to earn our trust, but she’s off to a stylish start.

We may not have a Sly Cooper TV show yet, but this is the closest we'll ever get for now.

Carmen Sandiego is a great show! It's one of the best Netflix originals by far! It's got an engaging story that's been fun to follow throughout the first 3 seasons and I can't wait for more!
