    This show had so much wasted potential. The premise is so intriguing, and it pretty much hooks you from the start. 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 lastThis show had so much wasted potential. The premise is so intriguing, and it pretty much hooks you from the start. 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

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

    Gideon Raff and Tim Kring's bungled attempt to somehow dumb down Dan Brown is merely a waste of time and ample talent.

    Some of the show is effective, especially the parts that double down on anything eerie or particularly ominous.... [But] Too often the series confuses "mysterious" with "dull."
