Episodes are fast-paced and engaging (as of the first three provided for review), especially if you know what you’re getting yourself into. Read full review

There are so many leaps of logic it’s basically narrative hopscotch, and some of the most fun I’ve had watching TV this fall. ... I chewed through the first three screeners of the show delighted by its breakneck pacing and implication that every building in Washington, D.C., contains hidden language and spatial reasoning puzzles.

Zukerman is no Tom Hanks, but he’s sufficiently charming as Langdon to make us believe he’s the young version of Brown’s signature character. ... The more we buy into Langdon’s prolific skills and the more twisty the story is, the better. But we’re not sure if Dworkin, Beattie and their writers will be able to pull it off. Read full review

Viewers who can suspend their disbelief about that setup may be able to enjoy this conspiracy thriller that feels, frustratingly, like a wild goose chase. Read full review

The Lost Symbol settles into a polished, decently acted rhythm that follows the plotting of a Dan Brown novel. But it never finds an enjoyable way to interpret Brown’s trademark reliance on a main character whose superpower is mansplaining. Read full review

“The Lost Symbol” just never feels as adventurous and ambitious as its source material, and maybe that’s because the entire affair feels five years too late. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Two problems with this show, the story itself and the wooden acting from the lead actor. The basic idea that such elaborate measures would be taken to hide a bible that is freely available in any hotel room is just absurd.

The general concept of believability is thrown out as well. We have this young guy who is a top expert in symbols, wanted by the top universities around the world yet appears to be of an age to have just graduated himself. Astoundingly his expertise extends far beyond symbols to all sorts of things including, among others, his knowledge of the existence, meaning and introduction of technical markings on processed celluloid film.

This series is watchable but certainly nothing to write home about.… Expand
