Blood and Treasure (2019)

Watchseries; I love movies like Indiana Jones, National Treasure, Lara Croft, The Librarian, Davinci Code etc. I find the idea of a tv show that includes art, archaelogy etc appealing. But this show doesnt know what it wants to be. Too many ideas crammed together and the constant flipping back & forth to flashbacks is horrible. They've tried to show the female thief as some independant empowered woman but she comes off as arrogant with unreal physical skills. The show could learn something from "White Collar" where the thief was so charismatic & the ensemble cast had great chemistry.

UPDATE: 7/14/19 I went back & watched more after the pilot episodes. The frequent flashbacks are not chronological & can be confusing at times. Like reading a Dan Brown novel, scenes alternate frequently from our two main characters activities to the other government agencies/terrorists. But Im a sucker for mystery & overall the show gets better & deserves a 2nd chance. After the 2 part pilot it finds its flow & I grew to like it. A simple action/adventure series thats fun to watch without having to think so hard or be subjected to graphic scenes. I look forward to Season 2.

Blood and Treasure watchseries. This show is definitely a throwback 2 adventure shows from the eighties and nineties. It has a modern take on the swashbuckling treasure-hunting films of yesterday. It is entertaining and well written. I don't understand the hate from so many other users.

There were plenty of improbable scenes and a lot of holes in the story. But, ignoring those issues there was plenty of action and was certainly entertaining. The dialogue was not always the best but it was a fun pilot. And the best thing was the fact that everything wasn't resolved in one episode which typically happens in other programming. I have the impression that the story won't be wrapped up until the final episode.

I just finished watching the first 2 hours and i have to say i don't understand all the hate. True this is no Indiana Jones but it was moderately interesting if perhaps somewhat implausible. This IS TV not blockbuster movie stuff. People need to get over themselves and not be so hyper-critical. TV is spos'd to be entertainment so relax and let yourself be entertained.

Blood and Treasure is truly a hidden gem. I've never seen a show that balances comedy and suspense so well. The twists and turns of the overarching story of season 1 are intricate and interesting, and the characters are all refreshingly nuanced. For a show that relies heavily on tropes, it was refreshing to see how many common "action adventure" cliches were actually subverted. Overall, Blood and Treasure doesn't take itself too seriously, and the series greatly benefits as a result.

Hey Hollywood, please make more of these type of series? I hope you bring back B & T next summer.
