"I wasn't a big reader, but I read Alex Rider" can relate massively

[@maxfarrell1083]

Yep

[@Joe-fy9uy]

I read harry potter and the first alex rider book loved it but never got round to another one

[@mohannadabdulaal7471]

Yesss

[@M7_fth]

Me too @Rex Races

[@jasonshaneyfelt1039]

Alex Rider got me into reading

[@Metaporphsycosis]

The show SLAPS so far ngl, I didn’t even read the books i just stan spy shit

[@-ariana-2917]

SAMEE

[@arcanesereinrides]

Can't get enough of alex rider to be honest. Does anyone know any other series/ movie of this teenage spy action sort?

[@sophtaylar4673]

Anyone else watch the whole season im one day. Just me, ok

[@anne-luciebugain5298]

Haha I watched the first seven episodes in one day 👍No regrets

[@lilyjames364]

The series is soo good and the music is elite

[@lauraaffleck3855]

I soooooo agree!

[@sebcopeman5542]

Lily James I know you commented this a month ago but, in the intro why is there someone parachuting of a roof, cause that sort of happens in one of the other books but not point blanc, anyone have and idea?

[@jeenadjo1238]

I agreee

[@backwardsdovah9373]

Seb Copeman it happens In stormbreaker

[@sebcopeman5542]

Seabass SB i know this, but then why would that be included in point blanc?

[@HelloWorld-hf5it]

I swear Otto farrant looks so much like the Alex Rider I imagined as a kid. So happy they brought one of my favorite characters to life.

[@jonnypeters9294]

Loved the books. Hope they do multiple series to reflect the books

[@joshformerlyjambicglortpam8775]

True, I hope that a skeleton key series is fulfilled following the successful release of Point Blanc

[@danynasr3216]

@@joshformerlyjambicglortpam8775 i really hope skeleton key is next!

[@maye-annewaynewayne9223]

Amazing series. Extraordinary actor

[@mohannadabdulaal7471]

It's still weird to believe that Otto is 23 YEARS OLD

[@TakenBySS]

Wow, I did not know

[@UNlKAT]

wish it had more episodes 😭 8 arent even nearly enough! great show tho!! 👌

[@chikuritz1547]

True.. 8 are not enough

[@dash3750]

8 is slowly becoming the standard for shows these days (especially originals by netflix or amazon since they aren’t being aired on TV) and tbh i prefer 8 concise episodes with the right amount of action than 20 episodes where more than half are just fillers and drag on the show.

[@miketheknight7479]

Don't worry, as long as you have patient you'll be fine! They've already announced a season 2 for this series, based on Eagle Strike, which is predicted to be released summer 2021, as long as COVID doesn't wreck anything :)

[@Yatsua]

Learning that they would adapt the books into a series was a pleasant surprise for me and the show did exceed my expectation, I really liked it and can't wait for another season :D

[@neilbissett1240]

What a fantastic interview and what a nice person he is

[@vinyld.6303]

just finished binging it, couldn't get up, finished it in one sitting it was that good! *As a fan of the books, i love how they didn't copy too much from them, but were actually able to execute it so much better.* _Otto is perfect for the role, and the ENTIRE cast really..( i saw Andrew Buchan and Vicky McClure and felt a little Broadchurch moment there xD) but i just simply cannot wait for season 2._

[@dovee1]

Hope more shows go in the direction of this and his dark materials. Made us forget about the movies.

[@anne-luciebugain5298]

Alex Rider and His Dark Materials were the biggest letdowns of my Childhood 😭 What's worse is that both of these films had stellar A-star casts. But they felt so cheap at times. Thank goodness this series is spot on

[@dennislocking6768]

My Wife and I are Seniors and enjoying the show. Great to see youthful excitement and live a little vicariously. Cheers

[@elledowsen4590]

Absolutely fantastic series

[@spliffrollasparxx]

I randomly came across this show when I was browsing through my fire stick. So glad I gave it chance. This show is awesome!!!

[@harrietst6114]

I want to read the Alex Rider book series after finishing the season 1! And it's amazing to know more about this character from Otto, such a brilliant actor!

[@cornettomsc]

It’s a good series and I’m happy that they had fun making it. Looking forward to season 2 :)

[@ahouseofbees]

[@laylawaigandfishwick5924]

i love the series so far

[@sairamr2185]

Is it just me or does he look younger here than he does on the show?

[@lilliefee-in-taiwan6718]

That's exactly how I feel.

[@YCFCfollower]

Great show, has S2 been confirmed?

[@haydenyoung2253]

I think it had

[@backwardsdovah9373]

I love it even though it changed so much to be the start

[@MrOutside96]

Otto is so cute

[@renforest]

Perfect escapism.

[@patriciaaddaney844]

Can relate to otto I like point blanc

[@thegoldenwarriorvlogsmore4972]

Does anyone know what the ending song is on all the episodes?

[@richardlipman9012]
