The computer games, PBS game show and Fox Saturday Morning cartoon were more educational. With Carmen definitely not as the hero. It was about trying to figure out her next move and stop her from stealing again.
Although, at least they got the crook part right in this new Netflix series. But now she is a crook that steals from other thieves.
It’s not the learning experience for my niece, that I was hoping. It is fun and entertaining nevertheless. With good voice work by Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin) and Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things, IT).

@jim222001 I agree. I haven't watched much yet, but the first episode seems to try hard to pay only lipservice to Carmen's edutainment past.<br /> They spend a bunch of time going on about the historicness of Poitiers, and they mention it's in France, but that's about as far as it goes. It's very disappointing.<br /> I guess they decided that it was more important to portray Carmen as some sort of "strong, female", grey-hat role model for young girls, than to provide them with geographical knowledge. A shame, because they're not mutually exclusive.
