Otto Farrant is a brilliant Alex Rider.
I binge watched the majority of the third season, went to sleep, and then watched the last episode 8 hours later. It was worth the wait. I enjoyed the entire Scorpia Triology and I really enjoyed this interview with Anthony Horowitz!!!

Pity those outside the US and UK cannot see it easily .... Amazon is not providing it in other markets .... no Freevee option either ...so sadly series 3 is not happening for me.
Do you have IMBd? Would you be able to watch on that steaming service?
@@benalortman5525 sadly the only option here is to subscribe to another streaming service .... very grumpy it is not on Prime!! Amazon has let us down
It should be available worldwide
