I don't review, never really felt the need but I hope, hope that they do read this.
I loved the books growing up, I never put them down and must have read them at least 5 times cover to cover. I like the way the series worked it followed the books better than "stormbreaker" (yuck)
Constructively though, it's serious and gritty and needs to be, but Alex was always ment to balance that with the wondrous, exciting view of fictional spy, where's the gadgets! I feel you need to introduce these to get the most out of the plot. Going to real, like the current James Bond, just takes some of the creativity and entertainment out. Don't get me wrong there need to be a balance.
Also with the older Alex your going to need to make us care more about him! Especially if your going to take us down the emotional rollorcoster of the books.
One of my favourite parts of point blanc is when he saves Fiona at risk to himself, just because he's a good person. He even elects not to press a advantage with her instead favouring to compliment the horse and put her in her place. What about the barge too? I know, hard to fit in with having to put the introduction in but again Alex sticking his nose in to help others, is what makes him great! (I did see a barge whilst cycling (ep1) and wondered if it was a reference?)
Overall, just please continue, would love to see more! I know I've whittered on about the small things, but you were SO close to bringing the real Alex Rider to the screen
