Blood & Treasure

Really fun, high production values, treasure, bad guys, good looking leads, real historic locations, and John Larroquette! What more do you need in a summer series. Really enjoyable.

This is the show Whiskey Cavalier could have been. The main characters have great chemistry. The guy is a boy scout, but not too much of one. Unlike Will he's not sappy. Both characters get prolonged, well choreographed fight scenes each episode. The villains are very Raiders of The lost Ark like. The story flows and makes sense.

Sure it's unbelievable(The pyramid has a big chunk out of it), you definitely get the feeling there are big surprises coming. If you just want to be entertained, THIS IS THE SHOW!

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.

Not sure where all the hate is coming from. The locations are gorgeous and Oded Fehr is one of my favorite actors. It strikes a good balance between humour and action (much like the lamented Whiskey Cavalier.

And for those who said it won't last: it's been renewed for a second season.

This is an entertaining throwback to the Indiana Jones type spoof of 40's adventure capers. The plots work for a weekly hour long show.... you can't expect it to be too serious, or even accurate historically to work as a summer escape genre. Acting is decent and believable, dialog clever on occasion..... it's fun viewing.
