Alex Rider (2020)	comment	When English teenager Alex Rider (Otto Farrant) discovers his uncle Ian was not in fact a banker but a secret agent killed as a result of his investigations, his life is turned upside down. He is recruited by his uncle's employers to assist in a mission revolving around a mysterious boarding school for troubled teenagers in the French Alps, known as Point Blanc.Alex Rider (2020) is a live action television series based on the Alex Rider books by Anthony Horowitznote Who also serves as an executive producer.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_113480b7	comment	Canon Foreigner: Kyra wasn't in the book version of Point Blanc, where the titular school had only male students. Since Charlie Roper has become a publicist rather than a NSA cryptographer, "Smoking Mirror" appears to provide the hacking know-how for Cray's plan... Until he realises exactly what it is. Evelyn Anders, Cray's Head Programmer, is also introduced to fill the other part of Roper's role as the overseer of the Evil Plan's technical aspects. Sean Palmer, Cray's head of security, also appears very briefly, as a Scapegoat for Yassen to set up as a supposed presidential assassin to throw the Department off the scent.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_11c70cd6	comment	The Man in Front of the Man: Initially, you might get the impression that Yassen is working for Dr. Greif, but episode 5 reveals that, as in the books, he's an agent of an outside power (revealed in the finale to be Scorpia), and he can simply request permission to kill Greif and everyone connected to his Evil Plan from them once it becomes clear it has failed. Naturally, the same arrangement is in place in Season 2, with Damien Cray hiring Yassen through Scorpia to act as a fixer for his own Evil Plan.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_121b3725	comment	Age Lift: Only a small one, but in the books Alex is 14 and in Year 10 of the English school system. He seems definitely older in the show- going to parties and drinking, Tom plausibly being invited to Roscoe's company, and that Otto Farant was 23 at the time of filming, definitely seem to place Alex at an older age- likely around 16. This also makes Jack's feelings that her job is increasingly redundant stronger.

Blunt, unphased, tells him to "pick up the phone tomorrow if you change your mind." Sure enough, Jack and Alex's breakfast is interrupted by the police, who demand to see Jack's passport and declare it to be fake. They're followed by someone from Child Services, who asks who's looking after Alex and tells him to pack a bag. Alex goes into the next room and picks up his mobile.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: This adaptation is grittier than the books, dialing back on the Moore-era James Bond elements. For example, Alex's only gadget is a phone disguised as a music player, which doesn't even work, and many of the more theatrical set-pieces (such as the descending hotel room in Point Blanc as well as the bullfight and Cray's Death Traps in Eagle Strike) are also removed. Alex himself is also much less of a boy scout than the book version, sneaking off to parties and drinking... And he's already suffering from PTSD as of Season 2.

The conversation sounds exactly like they're talking about an abusive relationship, complete with Tom asking about a recent injury and Alex insisting "I just hit my head!" as if it was his fault. Alex seems to notice the resemblance at this point, because he then admits it happened when he was kidnapped.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: Thankfully a non-lethal example. After finding out Alex is a spy, Tom visits him at the Friend estate to discuss it. If Alex had mentioned the name Roscoe, Tom probably would have been more cautious when seemingly headhunted by Roscorp. And again in the final episode. Duplicate!Alex makes his way to London and inserts himself into Alex's life with the aim of destroying him. One thing he does is corner Tom and taunt him about being taken prisoner earlier, asking "Did it hurt? Were you frightened? Did you think you were going to die?" Jack and Tom hold a sort-of intervention where an angry Tom throws these questions back in a bemused Alex's face. A sentence explaining that Alex is meant to have asked these questions would have cleared things up immediately (as Alex would probably have made the connection between Point Blanc and a mean-spirited version of himself running around). As it is, Alex thinks Tom is taunting him and storms off. So when the duplicate approaches Tom again, he's able to draw him away by pretending he wants to apologize.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed in both cases. David Friend is shown to be a Corrupt Corporate Executive who was involved in some shady dealings and nearly jailed for fraud. In the books, there was no indication of this, but it's a pretty good explaination as to why Alan Blunt has so much leverage over him. Julia Rothman was always a vile villainess happy to murder untold thousands for the sake of her personal power and wealth, but the series makes her notably worse — Invisible Sword is her personal revenge for getting tricked by John Rider and the Department, rather than a means for Scorpia to fulfil a client's wishes, and devised collectively with Rothman merely attached as overseer.

It doesn't occur to anyone to check for a duplicate of Alex... In Season 2, Alan Blunt's driver somehow fails to notice Alex attaching Tom's GoPro to the grille of his Audi, when you'd assume any secret agent worth their salt would keep a very close eye out for vehicular sabotage or other, far more subtle, bugs. Nobody notices Alex swipe the camera back later, either.

In Season 3, Julia Rothman, one of the organisation's leaders, attempts to blackmail the British government with a horrific terrorist attack while recruiting Alex as a pawn.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: Tom's phone goes on quite the journey. It's confiscated in the first episode, and Alex gets caught stealing it back. This gets it re-confiscated by Ian Rider and gives Alex a way to find his car when he doesn't believe the official story of how his uncle died and goes investigating. Tom is left without a phone at inconvenient moments until Alex demands that it be returned, which is good news because it allows Tom to take a selfie outside the Roscoe building, thus leaving a social media trail when the Roscoe duplicate takes him prisoner. It's also bad news, because Roscoe finds evidence on it that blows Alex's cover. Finally, Duplicate!Alex uses it to send Real!Alex an I Have Your Wife video when he takes Tom hostage. In Season 2, this happens to the steel washer from Point Blanc, which Alex used to prevent the door locking at night. When Alex meets up with Kyra again, he shows it to her to prove that he's not forgotten about her. Later, she's able to use it as a conductor to hack the door of an electronically-locked cell she and Alex are being held in in Cray's base. Smithers' phone, which Kyra stole from him at the end of Season 2, is used to set up the plot of Season 3 by providing a lead on the "Widow" that leads Alex and co. to Malta. Subverted in a way in the first episode of Season 3 — before Alex leaves for the art show, Kyra gives him a lockpick. It's never actually used on any locks, but he does use it to stab Nile in the hand, allowing him to escape.

Kyra then scoffs at the idea and uses her Hollywood Hacking skills to put Alex on the guest list in about five minutes flat. Just as in the book, Alex is targeted by a Scorpia sniper (in this case Nile, out for payback) after being debriefed by Mrs Jones — but Yassen, seemingly out of courtesy to Ian Rider, gets to Nile first, while in the book Alex was shot but survived.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_2a02e5c9	comment	Guile Hero: Alex is very good at using the training his uncle quietly gave him to escape tricky situations, such as hiding in undergrowth so his pursuers run right past him. He figures out a way into Dr. Greif's office so Kyra can hack the security system by first using dark powder on the keypad to show which buttons were pressed, then deducing the combination from that, in one, from what he knows of Dr Greif. He also prevents his and Kyra's doors from locking by putting washers in the locking mechanism so they can sneak out and look around. Kyra. She all but provides a page quote for this trope when she tells Alex and James they need to use their brains to escape Point Blanc (so their "Just head out onto the mountain and hope for the best" plan isn't it). When she decides she needs to escape but Alex wants to stay and find James, she heads off into the snow, leaving a nice clear trail, then quietly doubles back and rescues Alex after his cover is blown. She also escapes the safe house by stealing Crawley's security pass and successfully disappears. Smithers, when he tricks Duplicate!Parker into saying "motorbikes" so he can create a fake message to Dr Greif to make him relax his guard.

Scorpia was betting heavily on the British intelligence services evacuating the reserve football team to the military base. If they'd followed Mrs. Jones' original plan to disperse the players, there's no way the terahertz transmitter pod would have been able to reach them all. Julia Rothman works out that Alex is trying to steal and read the file on Invisible Sword, so she replaces it with several photos of John Rider and a video recording showing Mrs. Jones seemingly ordering his death, in an attempt to goad him into killing for the first time, with Jones as the target.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_479d4e5a	comment	Would Hurt a Child: Played with to hell and back by many different characters. Alan Blunt is happy to force Alex to work for him and his actions result in everything else on this list. The paramilitary group who kidnap Alex and interrogate him. They do subject him to some pretty unpleasant things, but are far from happy about it and have actually decided to call the whole thing off when Alex escapes anyway. It's a Secret Test of Character planned by Blunt. Dr. Greif and Eva Stellenbosch. Alex is shocked when Stellenbosch slaps him, hard enough to leave a mark, for talking back to Dr Greif, but that's not even the tip of the iceberg. The school is kidnapping its pupils and sending clones of Dr Greif, surgically altered to look like their targets, back home to inherit their fortunes. He's holding the originals in cages, it's all but spelled out that they've been tortured, and planning to kill them as soon as the plan's finished. Damien Cray also has no problems with killing Alex and his companions — he just keeps getting interrupted or otherwise foiled in doing so. Furthermore, he was willing to submit Alex to Electric Torture just for making his game look too easy before he was even aware that he was a threat to his plans. It's less clear where Yassen lies here — so far he's been unwilling to hurt Alex, but it's not entirely certain what he would have done during the final battle aboard Air Force One had he not gotten hit by a stray bullet.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_557838d1	comment	Adaptational Attractiveness: Eva Stellenbosch in the book was a champion weightlifter described as extremely ugly and borderline monstrous in appearance. The most flattering description is "like a man in drag" and she's explicitly compared to King Kong. In the series, she's played by Ana Ularu. invokedWord of God says this is because it was considered more interesting if she was intimidating for psychological rather than physical reasons.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_56ff2e35	comment	Bat Deduction: While it's based on somewhat plausible reasoning, Alex, simply by viewing a photo of Charlie Roper inside Ed Pleasance's home, then learning that he's working for Craystar, concludes that he must be Ed's informant. More blatant is when Dan (Jack's handsome legal co-worker) immediately and correctly deduces that she was responsible for the Feathered Serpent launch cancellation hoax, getting her fired. While she was away for a long period during which the hack occurred, the pair had shared a rather flirtatious relationship up until that point, it would be rather unlikely for Jack to be an expert computer criminal, and it would seem more likely that a mundane explanation, such as family trouble or similar, would have required her to take the call. It is however, entirely possible that he was taking a gamble and throwing her under the bus to get the permanent position for himself, given that he has no way of actually proving his claims.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_6293c185	comment	Sequel Hook: Season 1: Kyra has run off somewhere, and it's not clear what her plans are. Yassen Gregorovitch is working for Scorpia, who Blunt thought had been defeated long ago. Yassen has seen Alex, and seems to know who he is. Jones has Alex identify Yassen Gregorivich from a photograph of him at a younger age. But alongside the younger image of Yassen is a blurred image of a blond man Yassen is smiling at, who Jones tells Alex is classified, and when she later shows the image to Blunt, she specifically mentions that Yassen likely recognized Alex because he looks like his father... Season 2: A badly injured Yassen has told Alex to "Find the widow... Find Scorpia." to learn about his father's Mysterious Past, and Jack has offered him and Tom a trip anywhere in the world. Guess where he's planning to go? Kyra has stolen Smithers' phone, and all the classified intel it contains... And the first thing she does is search for Scorpia, suggesting that she still wants to bring them down for killing her parents. Season 3: Subverted, as the third season is the confirmed end of the series. Much like in the books, Alex is targeted with a sniper rifle, this time by Nile, but Yassen ends up killing him before he can take the shot. In the book, the Hook was provided by Alex getting shot and leaving his fate ambiguous.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When the traitor Martin Wilby visits the house, Jack ends up telling him a lot while thinking he already knows. For example, that The Department are using Alex, which tells Wilby that he's Locked Out of the Loop and leads to Alex being compromised. He also grabs a photo of Alex and Tom, which puts both boys in danger. The video Tom makes when he finds out Alex has been recruited as a spy, which the Roscoe duplicate finds on Tom's phone after taking Tom prisoner and which blows Alex's cover at Point Blanc. Alex putting up a fight against the Department agent chasing Smoking Mirror (assuming he's some sort of Mook) allows the latter to escape — preventing him from getting caught and telling the Department about Damien Cray, which would have ended the season's plot right then and there.

Alex Rider (2020) / int_82a64c4b	comment	Adaptational Nice Guy: Alan Blunt is kinder and more interested in Alex's well being than his book counterpart. The one in the book regularly disregards his mental and physical health for the supposed greater good. While the Wolf in the books initially bullied Alex and even tried to get him kicked out of SAS training with them only becoming friendly after he gains some respect for Alex, here he is clearly concerned about the prospect of Alex being used in a MI6 operation and pulls a What the Hell, Hero? on Mrs. Jones after being ordered to perform their test on him and realising he's not going through with it willingly. In the book version of Eagle Strike, Charlie Roper was a Turncoat NSA cryptographer who sold out the U.S. nuclear codes to Cray. Here, he's Craystar's publicist and a straight-up good guy, being an old friend of Ed Pleasance who provided him with information, and later helps Alex infiltrate the Feathered Serpent 2 launch. His fate (getting killed by Cray) is the same, but in this case it's because he wanted nothing to do with the Evil Plan, rather than getting Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves. Damien Cray himself, for one primary reason. He's still a psychopath whose plan is to start a nuclear war, but, in the series, the "Feathered Serpent 2" game is actually crucial to the plot. In the books Cray's video game company was just a cover, and as such became one long exercise in sadism, with Cray subjecting innocent victims to a life sized mock up of the game to record their reactions and use them to improve the game's realism. As such, the series' version of Cray comes off as a bit less Ax-Crazy. Max Grendel makes an effort to talk Julia out of going through with Invisible Sword on the scale of violence that she has planned rather than merely deciding to quit to avoid personally dirtying his hands.

He knows there's something wrong with the "grief counsellor" who comes to see Alex in Episode 2, because "his shoes are too nice." He sees through Alex's lies, confronts Jack to find out what's really going on and tracks down Alex's cover identity so they can talk. When he's drawn into a trap by Duplicate!Parker, he quickly figures out what's going by the kind of questions Duplicate!Parker asks him. In the finale, he can tell which Alex is the duplicate on sight.

In the final episode, the audience watches as Duplicate!Alex finds his way to Alex's house and inserts himself into his life with clearly malicious intentions, and we know it's the duplicate who said some hurtful things to Tom and Ayisha, but the characters don't know that. At least, not until the duplicate takes Tom hostage to lure Alex. Mrs. Jones has Alex and the duplicate at gunpoint, but doesn't know which is which. One of them addresses her by name to prove himself the real Alex, but the other one claims to have given up that information under torture. This leaves Mrs. Jones confused, but we know that didn't happen, so that Alex is lying and therefore the duplicate. It's therefore pretty satisfying when Tom comes outside and clobbers that Alex.

Tom, when he realises that he's been drawn into a trap, and he and Alex are both in danger because of it. When Smithers realises that not all the Greif clones are accounted for. And the missing one is a duplicate of Alex. Dr. Greif gets another one when the car taking him away to somewhere that doesn't exist unexpectedly stalls... And he sees Yassen approaching the vehicle. When Alex receives a video message from his duplicate, showing he has Tom hostage and will kill him if Alex doesn't show up. Alex and Sabina, when the house she and her father are renting explodes into flames on the hill above them. Kyra and Smithers also get one when they realise exactly what Cray's target is. The arrogant Home Secretary is left virtually speechless after seeing "Invisible Sword" in action and putting an end to any notion that Scorpia is bluffing.

In the book, Grief/Greif was killed when Alex rammed a snowmobile into his helicopter. In the TV series, he's killed with neurotoxin courtesy of Gregorovitch. In the book, Charlie Roper gets crushed by $2 million of quarters (his 'payment' for handing over the nuclear codes to Cray), while in the series, Cray really does Just Shoot Him. Damien Cray himself gets shot dead by Yassen to save Alex, instead of getting sucked into Air Force One's jet engine. Julia Rothman is killed via Boom, Headshot! by Mrs. Jones, instead of being crushed by the hot-air balloon used for Invisible Sword (which was Adapted Out). Nile actually survives the failure of Invisible Sword, but gets killed by Yassen after he tries to snipe Alex as payback.

He goes outside and gets into a waiting car, which drives away as Jack looks on, confused and scared. Episode 4: Stellenbosch comes in for a chat in Alex's room. After she goes, Alex starts getting ready for bed, only to find he can't finish cleaning his teeth. He drops his brush into the sink and falls to the floor, looking increasingly scared, before finally passing out. People in surgical gowns enter his room and he's strapped to a gurney, being wheeled away down a corridor. Episode 5: James has vanished, and Alex and Kyra sneak into the forbidden second floor to find answers. There, they find an exact duplicate of the school, complete with their own rooms reproduced down to the last detail. Worse, they discover their rooms have hidden cameras. They narrowly miss being seen as Dr. Greif, Eva Stellenbosch and Dr Baxter arrive and begin a conversation that ends with Dr Baxter being stabbed. Greif and Stellenbosch then talk more, revealing to Alex and Kyra that Kyra will be next to disappear. Episode 6: Alex has just sledded to freedom on a modified ironing board. After evading his pursuers, he finds himself on a mountain road, stops to get his bearings... and is promptly hit by a snowplough. As he lies unconscious on the road, we hear Kyra's voice over the radio Episode 7: The Special Forces team have just stormed Point Blanc, rescued the hostages and taken Dr. Greif and the remaining duplicates prisoner. Alex, however, got separated and was nearly killed by Stellenbosch before she was killed by an explosion he just barely survived. Alex is pulled out of the rubble and put on a helicopter home. But after they've gone, someone emerges from the rubble of Point Blanc. Someone who looks exactly like Alex... Episode 14: Cray has just shot dead Charlie Roper, and is holding Alex and Kyra at gunpoint in his base. Episode 15: Cray is holding Sabina hostage, and if Alex doesn't do what he wants (namely, return a stolen MacGuffin), she'll die.

Denial: Skeptical of the story he's been told, he investigates for himself. He knows he's being lied to and is acting as if that means Ian might not be dead. "What if it never happened? What if it's all bollocks?" Anger: Beats the shit out of an agent who catches him at the crime scene, tells Blunt to "piss off," but decides to go on the mission anyway because "someone did this to us." He's clearly looking for someone to blame, and Blunt is using that. Bargaining: Focuses on the mission, ignoring the effect it's having on his friends and family. Treats completing the mission and finding Ian's killer as if it'll fix everything. "I just do this one thing and then it's over." Depression: While on Truth Serum, he confronts Dr Greif about Ian's murder... only to find he's never heard of Ian Rider. His face when it sinks in that all his efforts have been for nothing is heartbreaking. "All this way, and you don't even know!" Also his cold and distant emotional state when he returns from the mission. Acceptance: Having completed the mission and saved Tom from his Evil DoppelgÃ¤nger, Alex laughs and jokes with Jack and Tom, happy and relaxed at last. But in the background, Blunt's car lurks...

Crawley described as blue-eyed in the books is played by the British-Asian actor Ace Bhatti. The pupils of Point Blanc in the book are all described as white, either because of Greif's obsession with segregation or for practical reasons related to the cosmetic surgery (or both). Here, Kyra's mother's name suggests she's half-Chinese, while Sasha appears to be mixed-race. Sabina is described as blue-eyed and is played by British-Indian actress Charithra Chandran. Joe Byrne was white, while his counterpart Jo Byrne is black. Nile is Asian, while in the books he was black (with vitiligo).

How did Scorpia disperse the Invisible Sword nanoparticles throughout the population of Bath? We never really see, and there's only a brief reference to the dispensers being scattered throughout public places. This is reflected when the transmitter is switched on, as not everyone in the city is affected. Apparently, Scorpia's new incarnation was able to be dismantled just as quickly, as Julia Rothman left compromising files blowing the organisation wide open on her laptop, despite the fact that the other board members would have realised something was up once Invisible Sword failed and might have had a chance to get to hiding. However, Rothman was deranged and revenge-obsessed enough that it's possible to see her overlooking this.

While she was away for a long period during which the hack occurred, the pair had shared a rather flirtatious relationship up until that point, it would be rather unlikely for Jack to be an expert computer criminal, and it would seem more likely that a mundane explanation, such as family trouble or similar, would have required her to take the call. It is however, entirely possible that he was taking a gamble and throwing her under the bus to get the permanent position for himself, given that he has no way of actually proving his claims.
