Critics Consensus
Vivid animation and creative reconstruction of the Carmen Sandiego backstory elevates this property beyond its edutainment roots.
Heather Hogan Autostraddle The original Carmen Sandiego existed to teach kids about the borders that make up the countries that make up our globe. Netflix's Carmen Sandiego exists celebrate the humanity that makes up the world. Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Kristen Lopez IGN Movies Children who want a little action and adventure should get some enjoyment from it, but it'll be hard to entice anyone older. Rated: 6/10 Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Steve Greene indieWire The show is richer for not setting up a simple showdown of brains versus brawn. Rated: B+ Jan 22, 2019 Full Review Kristen Bates But Why Tho? A Geek Community All of these deep philosophical lessons that stem from a cartoon and the reiteration of them, while sometimes overbearing, beats it into your head that the world and the people in it are complex. Rated: 5/10 Apr 11, 2023 Full Review Colby Bryant Colbybryant.com With its subtle use of factoids and the flavors of world cultures abounding throughout, the show hooked me in with a globe-trotting narrative of secrets and revelations... Rated: 9.0/10 Feb 11, 2019 Full Review Kiera Allen Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL) Although this is an animated series, this is show is made for all ages. It's adventurous and funnier than you might expect, thanks to the help and comedic timing of Carmen's Bostonian brother and sister sidekick duo. Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
Jesse K This show really surprised me. Less educational than the original perhaps, but still worked in afresh. A solid reinvention of the strong female lead, this show feels like the perfect saturday morning cartoon. A little edgy, but still family friendly. A perfect combination of Mission impossible, Daredevil, and Kung Fu Panda-- fun, witty, action-packed, entertaining and gorgeous animation (Spiderverse style). This is a winner I may be returning to more than once-- even before I get to watch with my own kids. Still need to finish Season 4, but hats off to you Netflix for a job well done. This is how you resurrect a franchise for a modern audience Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This review is for the whole series in general. A polished gem from an old gem made for a new generation told with new twists and different angles to make new and interesting stories and characters. Made for a family friendly watch but is definitely a must watch for anyone interested in good animation, story musical score and characters. The only thing that I would see that would be off putting by some maybe would be the "edutainment" part of the show that is obviously a homage to the old shows. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty good action show. The thing that disappointed me most is that the animators are payed low. Very entertaining and makes you want to keep watching. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member If you haven't watch carmen sandiego,dont. If i can give negative star would.
