Spy Kids: Mission Critical

I was scrolling through the animation section on Netflix and saw this new Spy Kids: Mission Critical tv series. I watched the first episode to see the similarities to the movies.

1. The characters' names are all the same... including Juni & Carmen! 2. There's a Thumb-thumb (one of the henchmen in the first Spy Kids movie) 3. Carmen mentions her past enemy Floop 4. The Third-brain creation from the 1st Spy Kids is discussed. 5. The OSS is discussed throughout the show.

The first episode was a little funny. The funniest part was this running gag where Juni couldn't understand this Australian guy's name because he was saying "Mate," after his name. I probably won't watch any more episodes because it didn't interest me THAT much but you should check it out if you grew up with Spy Kids. You could even watch it with your kids. It won't ruin your childhood like Spy Kids 4: All The Time in The World did. xD

I am an adult and after 2 episodes I became emotionally invested. I love this show. I'm obsessed with Carmen, was a fan of Ashley Bornancin since Camp WWE. I'm also obsessed with Glitch because I feel like I'm the real life Glitch and Sir Awesome and his little coffee cups LOL!!!! I will be making my husband watch the rest of the season. Keep em comin.

The original idea in spy kids was about adventures and wild technological gadgets. this show (for kids?) Is full of physical fights. Punches, kicks,taco and burrito nonsense jokes. Always painfull to realize that non latín people can make ethnic jokes without consequences and even make it to netflix.

Loved this series from the start. My kid and I have had a great time watching this together.

This show is such a great show for kids or for parents to watch with their kids. The story lines are well written and the actors do a great job. It's also really nice to see the original Spy Kids recreated into and animated series.
