Plot
Carmen Sandiego is a modern-day Robin Hood traveling the globe and stealing from V.I.L.E. (Villains' International League of Evil/Valuable Imports, Lavish Exports) and giving back to its victims. Carmen is publicly perceived as a criminal by most law enforcement agencies — correction, make that a master criminal due to the sheer scale and theatricality of her heists. We will follow her escapades and get to determine not only where but who in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
The Netflix series serves as a serialized look into the character's backstory and features a different version of Carmen. Carmen only knows that she was found as an abandoned baby on the roadside of Buenos Aires, Argentina, 20 years ago. At a young age, she used to be a student at V.I.L.E. Academy until she left when she didn't want to take the life of anyone who gets in her way after stowing away on a mission and seeing what really goes on in V.I.L.E. She takes her name from the brand name tag in the hat she used in her escape disguise.
