The religious overlap--both Christian and Jewish extremists appear to be involved; the word is still out on the Muslims--lends Dig a certain resonance and depth, just as the location work in Jerusalem gives it authenticity. But in the end, it's about a man who needs to save the world to save himself. Or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, Dig promises to be a whole lot of crazy fun to watch. Read full review

The channel now has its own competently made, complexly plotted short-season thriller, like just about every other major cable network and streaming-video service. Read full review

Tim Kring (“Heroes”) and Gideon Raff (“Homeland”) teamed to create this 10-episode miniseries, and while they’re smart enough to acknowledge their debt to “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” they aren’t able to match their source material. Read full review

There’s a third storyline involving a cow. Really, I’m not kidding. These, I’m guessing will come together, at some point, but I’m not sure I’ll be willing to wait that long for the payoff. Read full review

Jason Hughes

There’s plenty of action, but it comes across as muddled and at least so far is failing to serve the intrigue. Read full review

Rob Owen

It's one crazy mess of a TV "event series" that doesn't make much effort to clarify what it's about in the early going, plopping viewers into two concurrent plots that will presumably intersect at some point. Read full review

This thing appears to be going nowhere fast. And it’s already taking way too long to get there. Read full review

In my opinion the characters are interesting, the history sticks to the facts we have been told, realistic characters, a look at how Jerusalem is today, good script-writers, and the best location possible. I will point out that the plot is complicated, but made easier to follow if one has read anything about the Third Temple. I do realize this is a fictional "take" on what is in the process of happening. I do not know how long this story line can continue, but I do so much look forward each week to see what twists and turns come next.… Expand

Is there some bias against religious shows? I really don't understand all the negative reviews. To me this is exactly what I want. Great story and subject matter, mystery, great cast, great production values, pretty good acting.

I don't get the mediocre reviews for this show. So far, I like it, but I am into shows that are a bit weird, mystical, and have confusing strands that eventually come together. The cast is great!

I am eager to find out how it all unfolds. I am giving it a 9 with room to hopefully grow.… Expand

And even tho' the show reveals a lot of darkness in the human soul and consciousness, it has some clearly defined good guys who bring light into the darkness. The characters of Peter, Golan, Avram, the Essene and Golan's uncle are genuinely good souls, and are good apart from religion.

In fact, much can be learned from the Essene, whose life is strength and who teaches by his actions. He totally rivets me.

Also I have loved watching the interaction between Golan and Peter, who really have been like brothers, one Christian and one Jew, both lapsed in their religion.

To me DIG is a great show, unlike a lot of dramatic series in recent history which are so immersed in unrelenting evil and violence that they seem to poison the human spirit, DIG is different. It gives the audience something to actually think about rather than pandering to all that is the worst in human beings. DIG asks us to consider what we really think about religion and its use and misuse by its practitioners, whatever their beliefs and purposes might be, and it does so with an intriguing story!… Expand

It is also clear that the creators actually did their research, with the antagonists being based on real-life extremist groups. Unfortunately, the storytelling feels incredibly rushed, and the ending is a massive cop-out which leaves gaping plot holes. The twists in the last few episodes feel almost tacked-on, as if the execs at USA Network told them to wrap it up in order to turn it into an "event series". By this point, the show also loses focus by concentrating excessively on the murder of poor-man's-Laura-Palmer Emma Wilson instead of focusing on the conspiracies and political intrigue.

With its strong premise and solid acting, Dig could have been excellent. Had it been treated as a proper series and had it been produced through a platform such as Amazon Prime or Netflix, instead of being a miniseries for a second-rate cable channel, it would have been a brilliant show. Unfortunately, as it stands, Dig is a mess .… Expand

Dig is a huge disappoinment. I waited 'till the very last episode for something big to happen, but it never did. There isn't any pay-off for the 10 hours that I spent watching. You can save your time, though.

OMG can more stuff be thrown at us in the pilot? Instead of building a story slowly "Dig" is all over the place, literally. It was just a scratch-my-head mess.
