My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series and we want more.I think there are some similarities to other stories but that did not worry me and we were able to just treat it as simple entertainment that kept us guessing.It was great to see Goose, Anthony Edwards, playing the central character which we think he did admirably. Michael Nyqvist play his nemesis Vincent and is a fantastic baddie, or goodie. Both he and Anthony Edwards are actors we would like to see more of.I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the likes of Dan Brown.Please do a series 2Enjoy
... View MoreFirst the good. Most network dramas are either medical or legal or crime dramas. The simple fact that this show doesn't fall into these categories is commendable. I also have to give ABC credit for taking a chance on something new.***Spoilers below***** The story line is about a man, Hank ( Anthony Edwards) whose wife is kidnapped. He finds out that her kidnapping is related to a clock. The clock is in fact a puzzle with clues leading to other clocks. If you find all the clocks you will learn the location of the True Cross. The cross was hidden during the 1930s to protect it from the Nazis. The story is a blend of modern day events with flashbacks to 1930s that shed light on the reasons behind the current events.It's an interesting concept and there's a tremendous potential here. But the writers, actors, basically everyone and everything associated with this show fails. The characters jump all around the world, they go from being stranded in the arctic to being back in New York effortlessly. Because there's no effort, there's no chance to connect to the characters emotionally--the viewer never cares about the characters. The show is based in 2013, yet the characters run into virtually none of the problems someone in 2013 would face. There's no real resistance save from those involved in the conspiracy directly. When there are tragic and moving events, such as Hank discovering everything about his life is a lie, the characters are barely affected. The only reason you know something happened is they talk about it. Otherwise they carry on as if completely unaffected. The whole show feels as though it's a 10,000 ft level summary of another story.The failure of this show is a shame because networks will be less willing to take a chance on new ideas.
... View MoreNever in my entire life had I enjoyed a television pilot so much. Wow! I thought, this is going to be one of the best shows EVER. And the pilot was that good.But alas! The pilot is where all of the entertainment, enjoyment, hope, promise, and more importantly the good writing (and, therefore, the good acting) abandoned this derelict ship immediately following its headlong impact into the iceberg known as Really Bad Script Writing!It's unfortunate, but some of the actors may feel the impact of this shows Premature Cancellation for the remainder of their careers. Or maybe I am overestimating the result. In any case, if a finger is to be pointed in any direction for this flops failure, it should be aimed directly at the head of production. Yeah, that's right. How long exactly have you worked in Hollywood anyway? And you couldn't tell just how cheesy your dialogue, blocking, and scene breaks were? Come on! Gilligan's Island was better than this, and it didn't even begin with one fiftieth the potential of a plot.And then there were the clichés: Oh yeah, and they were plentiful. When exactly is Hollywood going to catch onto the fact that FBI agents have to graduate with a degree from an accredited University in one of the following fields of endeavor: Accounting, Computer Science/Information Technology, Language, Law, Diversified. And, just to note, check the pic of the hottie on their website. Anyway, unfortunately for our writers they began with trite Hollywood clichés and the train just kept on rollin' from there. Sure, all FBI agents are hot, younger women with tattoos. And sure, all science geeks attract really hot--younger women--to be their wives. And sure, all bad guys leave a trail of bodies a mile wide, and absolutely nobody on God's Earth can catch them because they are the ULTIMATE (Cliché) super terrorist--like Carlos The Jackal. Blow me! I really wish Hollywood would get over Carlos. It's tired, and it's worn out. Get it folks?In spite all of these initial failures, this show could have succeeded. Sure, it may never have become as popular as inane celluloid tripe like American Idol and Survivor, but then modern Americans have lost nearly all of their ability to discern real art from detritus. Too many years of Oprah\Donahue, Reality Shows, Rap Music and a general societal trend that promotes ignorance rather than intelligence. Romarica, Romarica God shed some stupidity on thee!OK, so we don't really need to think. Why? Because we have machines to do that for us. How sad!Forget the fact that Anthony Edwards and cast will never return to let us in on whatever was to come in this ill fated plot, but the real loss here is the fact that now the air time slot will be set aside for yet another slice of molding and repulsive celluloid pie like Honey Boo Boo, or Keeping Up With the Kardashians.But hey! if that's what Americans choose to watch in their spare time, so be it. I have better things to do!
... View MoreUnfortunately I think I already have the gist of this show. An its still early . Would have liked a bit of question as to what they are after. They are going for the cross Jesus died on to get the traces of DNA left from his blood. This way since they already created a child without parents they think they can create God. Which Im sure is the whole deal about this show. I just wished they had let the part of the baby that grew into a man stay hidden for awhile. It would be a great show if they had let this all come out slower. Im still going to watch it because it do like the suspense. I also like the cast good to see some of these guys back in action.
