Nice Show

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019

It is most definitely a cheesy pulp. But that is fun from time to time. It has predictable tropes, like ancient conspiracies, a glamorous female thief, ancient treasure, cryptic clues, etc. But that is what it is supposed to be and it does it well. The dialogue is snappy and amusing and in general it is a pleasant "candy drama". it does not pretend to be anything other than what it is not and does what it is quite well.

Great show...I couldn't stop watching...even when Prime started charging for free season

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019

I love the show. It was advertised as Season One free with Prime. So I began to watch. The first 3 episodes were free, and then the next three had to be paid for. I did pay, as I love the show. I am really disappointed that Prime, which is usually so fair to customers, mislabeled or changed in midstream. I would love a refund and hope other customers will not start watching without being aware that they will have to pay for part of Season One.

The Thrill is Gone Gone Gone

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019

Did you like the Librarian/The Librarians and yet wished the pace was faster? Did you enjoy National Treasure and want to see it become a TV series? This, unfortunately, isn't that show. It's got all the ingredients to be fun: John Laroquette is usually golden, Oded Fehr is always charmingly evil (or charmingly suspicious). It has America's favorite themes: treasure and conspiracies and international intrigue. It has "meet cute" on several levels and some clever ideas.

None of it works. None of the actors seem invested in the project. Often, when they are speaking, I feel that even they stopped paying attention to the plot complications because it stopped making sense ages ago.

The scene that killed it for me comes during the first post-pilot episode. I accept that our heroes are going to escape from the FBI's cargo plane while it's still flying. I suspended disbelief that two people without parachute training could safely jump. I discarded any thoughts of Newtonian mechanics out the window when they agreed that one parachute would be enough if they just "held on" to each other tightly. I barely winced at the idea that one of them could "find a good landing spot" by looking out the cargo bay door, while a mile up and running 500 mph. I would later accept that they landed in Vatican City, without a scratch, without being shot from the sky by the Swiss Guard, and that the first person the soldiers brought them to would be a friend who represented the Vatican in a sweatshirt and baseball cap.

All of that is... well it's par for the course. Laws of Physics suspended. Laws of Human Nature forgotten.

What killed it for me was how they landed. The producers didn't even try to make it look "realistic." It was just two people who might have jumped from 2-3 feet off the ground, land, and pretend to fall. It reminded me of kindergartners goofing around while learning somersaults. "Look, teacher, watch me jump from your desk."

I really am willing to suspend disbelief past the boundaries of reasonable. I just want the showrunner to work with me and at least pretend that jumping out of an airplane is a big deal.

Without that, it makes it hard to take the stakes seriously, killing any tension, which is of course the entire point of action-adventure.

Completely mindless

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2020

This show must be for those who like a complete fantasy with just the framework of reality. Anyone who has a critical thought in their head wouldn't get far into this. I could only watch a few minutes before my B.S. meter reached full.

Let's count the inanities.
1. An archaeology team that has their own armed commando unit.
2. A large and branching tunnel complex that is thousands of years old and has no rubble, fallen rocks, or debris of any kind.
3. Lifting a multi-ton stone door with a crowbar. And, once opened, it magically holds itself up without any bracing at all.
4. An inner chamber that looks like it was just swept a week ago, and is so well organized as to make Martha Stewart envious.
5. Bad guys that turn on glowing eye lights.
6. The archeology commando team doesn't immediately open fire on such obvious, and stupid targets. Sorry, I meant "eye lights"
7. Bad guys who need laser pointers to hit something in a six foot wide tunnel where the shoulder-to-shoulder commando team is completely backlit. (Fish in a barrel have a better chance of survival than this scenario. Throwing a rock at the side of a barn would take more aiming skill than trying to hit something in that tunnel.)
8. The semi-truck load of explosives that would be needed to blow a gigantic gaping hole in a colossal stone pyramid where each stone weighs several tons.

And, that's when I turned it off.

If you like a show that has no relation to reality, including the physics of living on earth, and dredges up names and places that you dimly remember from high school history, then this might be for you. Otherwise, don't even bother with it.

Its pretty mediocre, like angel with weaker men and worse acting

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2021

So its first episode starts off assuming you know some random event about corpses being moved. And right there I realized, this story is almost as bad as call of duty advanced warfare. But like, if they couldn't afford kevin spacy.

Then this super weak ass guy shows up with a really tacky haircut and this seriously douchie. Im a full time real estate agent in connecticut; suit. Then when he starts to talk, he sounds like kristen whig. But with a lisp and a higher pitch voice.

I got as far as this helicopter ride in the first episode and when the guy is like "report them to the fbi". Its like. The fbi knew about epsteins island since the 80s and turned a blind eye to it until 2017? 2018? Were they smoking crack when they wrote this script? Maybe.

So on top of all that, then you have the badguys. The more you analyze them the dumber they come off as. Like super discounted versions of westworlds badguys. So generic and the dialog is like something bill deblasio or andrew cuomo would say. I half expected a pierced nipple, but luckily nope.

And how in the f*** do they get cell phone reception inside of a pyramid. This show is calling everyone who watches it stupid.

CBS just doesn't get it

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020

I have to give this one star even though I desperately wish networks would do series like this that the whole family can watch and even though I like quite a few of the actors--mostly the supporters like Shaw, Fehr, Coppola, Winter, and Larroquette--in other things they've done. The premise is interesting but the writing is very poor and once the writing is bad, there's nowhere to go. Ask yourself why, in 2019, every female character has to be described in terms of how she looks and/or how she smells--whether she's a thief, an Interpol agent or an archaeologist. Every character. I don't know if they don't pay enough to get better writers or what the problem is, but there is a problem.

WTF Amazon it's an Amazon Prime video!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019

The raring of 1 is because you don't include episodes 9 & 10 under Amazon Prime plan that I have deal. I really like the show but I don't like it that you are wanting a viewer to pay more money to watch it when it should be included under Prime membership. Really SUCKS!!!!!
