The would be “Greatest Spy” ever Klaus got the job to teach ~~7~~ 8 spies from incompetent girls in order to be called the “Greatest spy of all time”, completely ignoring the fact that being known as the greatest spy of all time would completely go against what spies do due to this show not understanding what a spy would do in the slightest.
To say the synopsis is right with the line “Too bad the team is filled with even more hopeless spies” is far too right. It’s ridiculous. Somehow this team of ~~7~~ 8 girls is hopelessly pathetic at taking down the teacher and somehow always creates the same plan. Somehow this group managed to take down the even bigger badder spy who was always just a step ahead of the teacher.
Incompetence is funny to watch to a point, but when the show is nearly only composed of their incompetence it becomes truly infuriating to watch. It becomes even less funny when the spy teacher who is the biggest and bestest spy to ever spy can somehow clean windows faster than a team of 8 employing their talents to make it even faster, as if cleaning windows is something that can be made faster without employing more people to do it. He claims it was a part of his “spy training” fuck I wish I had spy training that made me clean up my entire house within an hour.
Do you know how children’s “imagine” games always leads to someone pulling out the “super shield that blocks everything” and after that you get the “super weapon that kills everything” and then it’s a bizarrely escalating scenario with more and more ridiculous things brought out? This is what every conflict in this show feels like “I am going to kill the spy teacher with spy things” and then the teacher goes “yes but i am more spy” and then they lose.
The girls are all quite 1 dimensional and most unmemorable. Which is not good for a wannabe “Cute Girls Doing Cute Things” -show when you compare it to shows with similar tags like Bocchi The Rock where the whole cast is extremely entertaining in their own way.
The teacher isn’t much better either. He is just perfect in every way imaginable and never loses even in trivial things.
The show had a bit of plot at the start with the 1 guy, the big spy man who spies all the people couldn’t beat as he had faked his death and allied up with another nation, but he was killed within 3 episodes. Why wasn’t this written into a bigger whole? Like why not end the show with the girls beating this ultimate spy terminator after he kills their teacher?
This show is pathetic SoL slob without any of the entertaining characters to make the show actually good. Very sloppy writing when it does have it and even that was rushed inorder to make room for this show’s horrible “Cute girls doing cute things” moments.
