Carmen Sandiego, the lady in red, has the morality of Robin Hood and the thief skills to match. There'a no doubt she'll be the femme Fatale that inspires young girls to be the best they can be. This is the kind of show that everyone can enjoy...if you are female.
This series is more than just an action series, but also educational. It teaches children about cultures around the world and gives a 2-3 minute educational breakdown of what someone can expect if they were to travel to various locations throughout the world. But, it also teaches children to feed into stereotypes and think boys are stupid.
The two main male characters, the agent tracking Carmen down and Zack (the brother of the sibling duo that assists Carmen), are as dumb as a box of rocks. And it's not even subtle. The producers believe that the best way to shine the spotlight on women and empower them is through the degradation of their male counterparts. The "boy genius", a carbon copy of the tech genius from Kim Possible, is only heard and rarely seen. If uplifting a demographic happens at the expense of another - it isn't perpetuating equality. It's just a shift of dynamics via revenge mentality.
If you can get past the sexist mentality that girls are inherently smarter and more "mature" than their male counterparts, this is an otherwise great show. Even if it is simply a reboot of Kim Possible in every way possible.
