I streamed it on Netflix - until around the start of the fifth season (or Part - I'd say arc?). I will continue soon, but here are my thoughts -
Let's begin with the worst season per se - the first season. It has three episodes (which, are not enough. At least 10 or so would make sense). The story revolves around Prince Charles-Prince Harry hybrid Crown Prince Xander, who is an immature social influencer and is happening to go to Maywood Glen (which from later references I believe to be a Silicon Valley commuter town or something). It is cringe and a pain to get through. McKellar does well, but the other characters are sloppy and painfully un-agent-like and un-likeable. 3/10 for the first season. No good story - or execution.
The second season has a different storyline - this time it is about anarcho-primitivism. A person called "Retro" is setting up a scheme to end technology up to the 1980s. It is not that scheme, but a carefully planned data-harvesting scheme on NOV-8, the elite organization that the girls are purported to be part of. It ups the story a bit - makes interesting characters - and sets up an interesting narrative but still falls flat. Both supporting characters (and future agents) Devon DeMarco and Ember Evergreen are introduced as recurring characters in the last two of the six. Would give it 6/10, not bad.
The third season revolves around technology a lot - and while still very poor in scientific accuracy - actually looks geeky. Zuckerberg wannabe Simon Temple and his dad (the Havoc founder Kragen Vexx) are the main villains. This story is all about deception and has likeable twists, although McKayla returns to being annoying and not understanding. Over-all, my favorite season so far. Easy 8.5/10.
The fourth season is essentially a DCOM or NOM (Netflix Original Movie), and revolves around Xander once again. The story is just PG-rated "King Charles III (watch it" and Wendell is like William (while Xander like Charles). While it was thin, I liked this one decently. Also, Kyle playing a big role is also fun. Hard, but 7/10 at least.
Finally we have the first few minutes of Season 5. Seem like an odd mishmash of S1 & S5. Jumbled and too many A. D. I. S. N. Stuff going on. But still, 6.5/10.
McKayla is not removable but can do with a character aggrandization decontaminator. A. D. I. S. N. Takes getting used to. Remove Bryden Bandweth, even with her IT skills, she is the most cringe. Camryn Coyle is okay I'd guess, but has less science more presentation skills (think Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, still skilled but a better presenter per se). Adrienne Attoms is fun with her Española, but also too fashion-focused. Devon should have some kind of science to her. Amber and Maddie are okay, but can get toned down. Justin is far too generic.
6.20 points out of ten - roughly 3 stars out of 5. You have to watch the first season - and it is hard to get through, but it'll be far easier out going forward. Ages 7 through 13. High school onwards this might be a tad too cheesy.
