    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 a huge fan of Jason Isaacs (R.I.P. AWAKE -gone too soon). Anne Heche is underused, but hoping she becomes more central. This show is like a hybrid of Touch, Believe, Awake, Orphan BlackI don't get the mediocre reviews for this show.

I am eager to find out how it all unfolds. I am giving it a 9 with room to hopefully grow.… 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 am not fond of any religious stuff, but this high suspense multicultural drama did win me over after few chapters. there is lot of complexity in the story which might be confusing at first (not more than Game of Thrones), but the plot moves fast and kept me on the edge most of the time, Main characters are archetypal (similar to Bridge) and not developed in depth, but still somehowI am not fond of any religious stuff, but this high suspense multicultural drama did win me over after few chapters. there is lot of complexity in the story which might be confusing at first (not more than Game of Thrones), but the plot moves fast and kept me on the edge most of the time, Main characters are archetypal (similar to Bridge) and not developed in depth, but still somehow believable and like able. If you like mystery, conspiracy thrillers or shows like Bridge, American Odyssey .... Dig will pull you right in.… Expand

    Dig is a complex piece of drama which appeals to people like me who are interested in the historical aspects of the Bible; people like me who have read the book of Revelation and finally, people like me who are following the prophecies and know some things about the preparations for the Third Temple to be built. In my opinion the characters are interesting, the history sticks to the factsDig is a complex piece of drama which appeals to people like me who are interested in the historical aspects of the Bible; people like me who have read the book of Revelation and finally, people like me who are following the prophecies and know some things about the preparations for the Third Temple to be built. 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

    I love the show and the coded puzzle challenges that go with it. It gives me something stimulating and productive to do with my mind, and something exciting to look forward to on Thursdays.

    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.

It gives me something stimulating and productive to do with my mind, and something exciting to look forward to on Thursdays.

    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

    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."
