Netflix’s Carmen Sandiego… Is it Worth It?

Being a child of the late ’80s and ’90s; I’m very well acquainted with the Carmen Sandiego franchise.  I grew up playing many different variations of the computer game, watching the game shows, and of course the 90’s cartoon. I wanted the jacket from the game show and wished that the internet worked the way that the 90’s cartoon made it seem. It’s no hyperbole to say that this franchise was a big help in my understanding of geography in my elementary days.  So when I heard that Netflix was doing a brand new series, I was very interested. But is it worth watching? Does it live up to my expectations?
