Geared for kids. Alex is recruited by an all powerful super secret government spy agency that can "scrub" any disserter off the face of this planet with little more than a mere thought. Yet every time the agency tells Alex that he can't endanger himself by participating in a mission he simply replies "oh yes I can because I said that I can" and the agency just concedes and the story moves forward. I find that trope unbelievably lazy. Fortunately, it is impossible to pay $ to watch this show right now. It isn't bad but writers get paid more than enough money to come up with a semi-realistic reason why an intelligence service would permit a teenager to risk his life that isn't "because I said so". 1 star for pouring millions of dollars into a completely unbelievable storyline.
