HAS THIS SHOW PROVEN TO BE WORTH YOUR TIME?
#The lost symbol on peacock series#
The villain in the series also has enough unique attributes about him that I’m curious as to what his motivations are.

There’s also a brilliant action scene in the first episode involving being closed-in to an ancient room by moving walls, which I found very exhilarating. Although I do think there are so many puzzles to solve that it just doesn’t make much sense… Any time a new artifact was found or a new clue needed to be solved, I found myself invested again. Courtesy of Peacock.īut, the one saving grace for this series is the reason why we watch these stories to begin with. Many of the other performers fail to impress either, making for a bit of a lackluster ensemble. The actor flounders in many scenes, mostly due to the overly-complicated and silly dialogue. And unfortunately for Ashley Zukerman (who just showed up as Nick Goode in the Fear Street films) he is no match for Robert Langdon’s droll and zestless approach, as well. Particularly when I watched Angels & Demons and Inferno, I couldn’t help, but think that the filmmakers had somehow made the legendary Tom Hanks lack any sort of charisma.

While the puzzle solving and wild goose chases are interesting, this character and the world around him fails to be captivating.

The CIA forces him into a task force when he uncovers a chilling conspiracy… And while the idea was a sound one, The Lost Symbol suffers from many of the issues that the films did. But, now Grazer and Howard have moved this franchise into the television format, for a pseudo-prequel series based on another of Brown’s books. In this series we follow the early adventures of Robert Langdon, who finds himself pulled into a series of deadly puzzles when his mentor is kidnapped. As the films dwindled in their box office receipts, it seemed like this franchise was doomed to be over.
