Ep 1. Born a Toretto

Fast & Furious: Spy Racers is an animated spin-off of the popular Fast & Furious franchise created by Chris Morgan and distributed by DreamWorks Animation and Netflix. This show follows a group of young street racers who become recruited by a government agency to become spies and take down a criminal organization known as SH1FT3R, which is attempting to use new technology to threaten the world.

In the first episode of the show, titled "Born a Toretto", we are introduced to the main character, Tony Toretto (voiced by Tyler Posey), the cousin of the famous street racer and member of Dominic Toretto's crew, Dom Toretto. Tony is following in his cousin's footsteps, as he is also a street racer, but he also has a bit of a rebellious streak and likes to play pranks on authority figures.

Tony and his friends, Cisco (voiced by Camille Ramsey), Echo (voiced by Charlet Chung), and Ivy (voiced by Luke Youngblood), are selected by the government agency to become spy racers. They are tasked with infiltrating SH1FT3R and gathering intel on their plans. Tony is reluctant at first, but is convinced by his friends and a promise that he can keep racing.

The group is given new high-tech cars, which come equipped with all sorts of gadgets and abilities, including the ability to camouflage and go invisible. They are also given guidance by a former spy racer named Ms. Nowhere (voiced by Renee Elise Goldsberry), who acts as their handler and provides them with missions and support.

Their first mission takes them to a high-security facility, where they have to steal a device from SH1FT3R. The group uses all of their skills and gadgets to evade guards and overcome obstacles. Tony also comes face-to-face with Shashi (voiced by Manish Dayal), the leader of SH1FT3R, who seems to have a personal vendetta against Tony and his family.

While the mission is successful, it also leads to some consequences. Tony and his group are now on SH1FT3R's radar, and they realize that their actions will have consequences. Additionally, they realize that these situations are not just about winning races - people's lives are on the line, and they need to take their roles as spy racers seriously.

Overall, "Born a Toretto" sets up the world and characters of the show, establishes the stakes, and sets the stage for the action-packed spy racing adventures that will follow. With high-speed action, cool gadgets, and plenty of drama, this episode will leave fans of the Fast & Furious franchise eager for more.
