The kid playing Alex is great, but he is let down by a weakening story and plot as the episodes progress. He made too many mistakes to not have been caught. Too many conveniences to make the weak story work. In my books, for TV it earns a 7 for being decent fun. As a lengthened movie, it would earn 5. One aspect it does cover well is that teenage kids are often capable of far more than adults might credit or expect.
