VarietyCaroline FramkeMay 16, 2019
Season 1 Review: This isn’t the kind of show that’s trying to reinvent the wheel so much as go for a joyride that can be thrilling even if the destination is clear all along. Throw in some splashy mythology, handsomely shot setpieces on location in Rome and Morocco, and entertaining performances from Fehr, Paras, and a bumbling Michael James Shaw, and you’ve got yourself a solid distraction to turn to in the general desert that is TV’s summer programming.

Season 1 Review: The pilot shot extensively in Italy and takes great advantage of the gorgeous, historic locations, including the Roman Forum and Appian Way. The dialogue, however, is often distracting and grating. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenMay 9, 2019
Season 1 Review: OK-not-great Indiana Jones-inspired series that adds terrorists — who blow up a pyramid in the first five minutes of the premiere. Tonally, it’s very similar to ABC’s “Whiskey Cavalier.” Read full review

New York PostRobert RorkeMay 17, 2019
Season 1 Review: “Blood & Treasure” is a harmless, unabashed throwback and completely forgettable. Barr is as bland as any other young actor starring in a TV series while wannabe Bond girl Pernas agreeably checks the networks’ present criteria for “exotic.” Read full review

Paste MagazineJacob OllerMay 20, 2019
Season 1 Review: Blood & Treasure is a recognizable Halloween costume and an unreliably silly piece of fodder that’s too dumb to be good and not crazy enough to be a good time. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Globe trots to and fro with a mix of banter that tends to fall flat and action scenes that sometimes play a little better. Unfortunately, cases aren’t opened and shut within a single episode. Read full review

Season 1 Review: What you never get here is a single character or idea that comes across as fresh or distinctive or takes the genre any place even vaguely new. Read full review
