    Do you miss noise and bombast? Do you miss goodhearted, mindless entertainment? Do you miss the 80s? The 90s? Well, take heart, my friends, because they’re all back, courtesy of the new Disney+ series National Treasure: Edge of History.

    There’s a zaniness to it that reflects the kind of chaos present in not just the original National Treasure, but all of Nicolas Cage’s films, and if you love treasure hunts, riddles, and puzzles, the show builds itself around the solving of them, even if the answers turn out to be a bit goofy.

    While Olivera makes an appealing lead, the too-familiar romantic wrinkles and hormonal entanglements prove to be more of a distraction than an enhancement, leaving behind a series that resembles its papi just enough to be sporadically fun, but one that makes the trip to where X marks the spot feel that much longer.

    It just feels like one of those shows that doesn’t trust its audience, spelling every emotional beat and bland plot development out in bold, highlighted dialogue. Teen viewers are smarter than Hollywood thinks. They always have been. The real mystery is why writers never figure that out.

    Sorry, das ist einfach nur schlecht.

    Hatte mich wirklich bei der Ankündigung auf die Serie gefreut. Jetzt werden wieder alle Schauspieler nach Herkunft ausgesucht um politisch korrekt zu sein. Was aber das schlimmste ist, sind die Rätsel. Die sind noch nicht einmal an den Haaren herbeigezogen. Ich sage nur Sonne, Hoppelhase, Gebüsch, aus jedem Zusammenhang heraus einfach mal in die Box getippt und siehe da...richtig. Das ist Volksverdummung. Kann man nicht ansehn. Leider.    … Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. The most ridiculous thing about the show is not the fact that, at one point, a character is accused of murder purely because he is holding a box of tic tacs. The most ridiculous thing about the show is that the accusation is correct. It's absolutely fantastic, absurd fun that knows how to laugh at itself (most of the time) and is a must-watch for anyone that wants something to laugh at. It's truly mesmerizing. That said, I can't in good conscience give it a score any higher because it is really, REALLY bad. Bad in a way that makes you enjoy every frame, but still bad. And it needed more Riley.… Full Review »
