Best movie ever!

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Blistering performances.

I have no idea how this show was green-lit, or how it got away with the shoddy work that it did. The editing is disgustingly terrible. The "evidence" they use to justify recording is laughable. It's a show that has nothing to show for its expense, yet they try to convince the audience that the team is perpetually on the verge of discovering something groundbreaking. It's insulting, and a perfect example of "investigative" reality shows on the paranormal that have gone too far.

WTH was SyFy thinking when the green-lighted this show? The greatest salesperson in the world is whoever convinced the suits that this was a good idea.The premise itself is interesting and had potential: someone scouring the world to find long-lost items of great interest and historical significance. The problem, as other reviewers have already pointed out, is that said protagonist is hunting for things that probably NEVER existed! Excalibur? Come on; it's a legend, a fairy tale. Someone resembling Arthur may have lived (doubtful, though), but there was no Camelot, no Merlin, and definitely no Excalibur. And has he every actually found any of these legendary items he's sought? You get one guess. I could go on, but you get the point.

(SPOILER ALERT - Contains brief reference to recent episode) I had such high hopes for this show and have watched every episode since the premiere, but...This production is the biggest load of bunk imaginable proving once and for all that anyone with a video camera, a pretty assistant and an accent can sell a show. I LOVE the concept and tracking down history is a passion, but this is not so much tracking down history as justifying a very large expense report.The breathless excitement Ashley invokes as he spins tales of unseen connections would be exciting to the viewer were it not for the utter absurdity. Like the two pieces of rock in Israel that somehow lead him to conclude that not only do they represent King Solomon's ring, but point the way to its location as well, resulting in a helicopter ride over the Vatican in Italy.You can actually get glimpses of his trusty assistant smirking or holding back laughter as he weaves his web of intrigue. They sure put this on the right channel because it is absolutely fiction, just a little short on the science.

I watched a few episodes of this show, and as many have said above, it is obvious that Syfy is trying to do some kind of an Indiana Jones/National treasure/da Vin code type show. It fails miserably. There is no excitement of him actually finding anything. Just places where relics may have been....Spoiler alert: (lol since there is nothing to spoil and he doesn't actually find anything)All of his local contacts who seem to reluctantly help him try to find what he is looking for also seem to be laughing at him. See Templar guy in Italy during the Ark of the Covenant search. After watching that debacle, I was glad to see him get sliced open by some giant thorn plant in the Mexican desert.I kept the show on just to watch Kinga walk around the desert in skin tight pants.They should just get a few more models and have them walk around too. Replace Ashley the "archeologist" with another hot girl... South Park or SNL needs to make fun of this guy, however if they tried, the joke would be lost, since a few months from now, no one will ever even know the show existed.
