This is over-the-top. And extremely fun. And here’s hoping Wyle recurs often. Read full review

The Librarians is a charming, engaging addition to the roster of new cable series. Read full review

If you miss Warehouse 13, or liked Friday the 13th: The Series, or Tia Carrere in The Relic Hunter, then The Librarians is worth a visit. Read full review

If The Librarians can balance its elements effectively, it stands to become as charming as it is goofy. But early on, it provokes a different question than most movie-to-series adaptations, asking not if a limited premise can be expanded, but if a perfectly scalable premise should be expanded.

The Librarians wears its cheesiness on its sleeve like a gratuitous elbow patch, which it also wears on its sleeve. It knows exactly how imitative and low-budget it is, and it doesn’t care if you know Read full review

Despite the accordant level of menace, The Librarians never gets too dark. If anything, it sometimes gets too goofy. Still, it’s worth checking out. Read full review

While the movies were successful, it’s hard to say spinning off a series based on such lightweight material was in any way overdue. Read full review

It has flying swords, mythical creatures, and what can only be described as badass math scenes. What's not to like?

It's not dark. It's not edgy, It's not "adult." It is clever, and it is fun -- and that's all it needs to be.

If that's not your cup of tea, fine. There are plenty of dark, brooding, edgy shows on televisions. There's room for one that doesn't take itself so seriously. For all theIt's not dark. It's not edgy, It's not "adult." It is clever, and it is fun -- and that's all it needs to be.

For all the people who think the show ripped off "Warehouse 13," check the detail. The original "Librarian" movie premiered 10 years ago.… Expand

The only reason I am giving this show a 7 is because Christian Kane is in it! He is awesome. Col. Baird should be killed off. Rebecca Ramos can't act at all. The other characters are very likeable.

Big fan of the 3 Librarian movie's and do like the show but without Noah Wyle as the Librarian just don't see the show making it. The creator's of this show should have never allowed there to be a different Librarian.....No Noah, no show, sorry TNT but you already bit the shark

Very bad. Do not know I should lough or cry. This could have been so much better. The acting is weird uneven. It feels like a show from a Disney Channel.

The acting is terrible, making it hard to get through an episode without rolling my eyes so much that I get a headache! It's almost like the director's telling the actors to overact their scenes.
