    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.

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

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.    … Full Review »
