Blood & Treasure (2019–2022) User Reviews

Enjoyable summer series

[linda-pines · 8/10 · 4 July 2019]

This is an entertaining throwback to the Indiana Jones type spoof of 40's adventure capers. The plots work for a weekly hour long show.... you can't expect it to be too serious, or even accurate historically to work as a summer escape genre. Acting is decent and believable, dialog clever on occasion..... it's fun viewing.

Fun easy to watch entertaining show

[fatelovesthefearless · 8/10 · 30 June 2019]

It has treasure hunting, nazis, terrorists and is set mostly in Europe. I'm very much enjoying this show as it's different to anything else on atm and doesn't take itself too seriously! Give it a go if you like Indiana Jones, National Treasure etc

Entertaining, Fun Summer Fare

[snicholls-260-258609 · 8/10 · 8 July 2019]

Not sure where all the hate is coming from. The locations are gorgeous and Oded Fehr is one of my favorite actors. It strikes a good balance between humour and action (much like the lamented Whiskey Cavalier.

And for those who said it won't last: it's been renewed for a second season.

Campy, Ridiculous, but just plan fun

[intrepidami · 9/10 · 26 July 2019]

This is the show Whiskey Cavalier could have been. The main characters have great chemistry. The guy is a boy scout, but not too much of one. Unlike Will he's not sappy. Both characters get prolonged, well choreographed fight scenes each episode. The villains are very Raiders of The lost Ark like. The story flows and makes sense.

Sure it's unbelievable(The pyramid has a big chunk out of it), you definitely get the feeling there are big surprises coming. If you just want to be entertained, THIS IS THE SHOW!

Don't understand the hate

[RealityTVBites · 6/10 · 23 May 2019]

I just finished watching the first 2 hours and i have to say i don't understand all the hate. True this is no Indiana Jones but it was moderately interesting if perhaps somewhat implausible. This IS TV not blockbuster movie stuff. People need to get over themselves and not be so hyper-critical. TV is spos'd to be entertainment so relax and let yourself be entertained.

Love this show

[esoukup · 10/10 · 29 May 2019]

This show is definitely a throwback 2 adventure shows from the eighties and nineties. It has a modern take on the swashbuckling treasure-hunting films of yesterday. It is entertaining and well written. I don't understand the hate from so many other users.

In a nutshell, its okay.

[sweetcarolani57 · 7/10 · 31 May 2019]

Great locations, interesting supporting actors, leads are less interesting, storyline engaging but not facinating, great detail on the sets, dialogue is ordinary,

Can't Wait For Season 2

[sophia55 · 9/10 · 21 December 2019]

Blood and Treasure is truly a hidden gem. I've never seen a show that balances comedy and suspense so well. The twists and turns of the overarching story of season 1 are intricate and interesting, and the characters are all refreshingly nuanced. For a show that relies heavily on tropes, it was refreshing to see how many common "action adventure" cliches were actually subverted. Overall, Blood and Treasure doesn't take itself too seriously, and the series greatly benefits as a result.

Enjoyable

[moryarnplz · 7/10 · 31 August 2019]

This is an easy to watch, throw back show that's just fun. Don't over think it.

Mediocre everything.

[brainwerx-1 · 5/10 · 2 November 2022]

I do not understand the overly high ratings. This show is a good idea done in the most mediocre way possible. It Takes a Thief, White Collar etc. Were better versions of this show.

The problem is that the actors aren't the least bit convincing. Yes. They are good looking. And all have done American TV. As well, the writing, WOW. Just. WOW. Predictable. Mediocre with little to no desire to rise above that level.

The direction? Again, mediocre. Acting? Again, mediocre.

All in all as I said in the subject line: mediocre in every way.

At this point I'm just filling in until I get to the character limit.

Awe finale episode - want more please

[lawriter-89342 · 9/10 · 7 August 2019]

Hey Hollywood, please make more of these type of series? I hope you bring back B & T next summer.

Great Summer Entertainment

[drewindallas · 7/10 · 22 May 2019]

Really fun, high production values, treasure, bad guys, good looking leads, real historic locations, and John Larroquette! What more do you need in a summer series. Really enjoyable.

Excruciatingly bad

[ChrisScreenwriter · 2/10 · 22 May 2019]

How can a show about international art thieves and a terrorist be so bloody boring? Poor writing, jumping back and forth in time making things completely incomprehensible. Every cliche in the book thrown together in a mashmash of a story. Please, get new writers or end this show's misery.

So Much Fun

[jadian3 · 9/10 · 17 July 2022]

This is a made-for-TV adventure show which has a globe-trotting plot and interesting cast of characters. It's like Raiders meets National Treasure, meets The Librarian with a splash of Angels and Demons thrown in.

SO MUCH FUN It's a show you can watch with your kids and the whole family can enjoy.

I truly hope that the producers, cast and crew consider continuing Danny and Lexi's adventures past season 2.

SHE'S NO NEIL CAFFREY

[irishizan · 7/10 · 27 May 2019]

I love movies like Indiana Jones, National Treasure, Lara Croft, The Librarian, Davinci Code etc. I find the idea of a tv show that includes art, archaelogy etc appealing. But this show doesnt know what it wants to be. Too many ideas crammed together and the constant flipping back & forth to flashbacks is horrible. They've tried to show the female thief as some independant empowered woman but she comes off as arrogant with unreal physical skills. The show could learn something from "White Collar" where the thief was so charismatic & the ensemble cast had great chemistry.

UPDATE: 7/14/19 I went back & watched more after the pilot episodes. The frequent flashbacks are not chronological & can be confusing at times. Like reading a Dan Brown novel, scenes alternate frequently from our two main characters activities to the other government agencies/terrorists. But Im a sucker for mystery & overall the show gets better & deserves a 2nd chance. After the 2 part pilot it finds its flow & I grew to like it. A simple action/adventure series thats fun to watch without having to think so hard or be subjected to graphic scenes. I look forward to Season 2.

A Fast paced and action packed adventure for the 2019 summer!

[abalpn-99472 · 10/10 · 4 June 2019]

So far I've been watching this with my dad and we really like the storyline and the action. I like it when the plot could take another twist. I'm still an Indy fan and the series is just like Indiana Jones finding treasure. They film scenes in every location. I hope they can hold for another season but I still like it no matter what happens.

10/10 Stars

Liked it

[teigas · 7/10 · 23 May 2019]

Not game of thrones quality. But an easy and funny summer show to watch.

Fun Adventure!!!

[monberger · 8/10 · 26 May 2019]

Yeah! It is not perfect! But is different and is not the usual killers, cop kinda a show. It gets tiresome making that kind of shows all the time. Blood & Treasure is a fun adventure and the two leads have good chemistry. She is gorgeous too!!! Give it a try!

Fun

[bakerj7 · 6/10 · 7 August 2019]

Fun network-quality action/adventure with some truly great actors. If u dont expect much, it's good entertainment

Whiskey Cavelier wanabe

[aleciaalexander · 2/10 · 22 May 2019]

Ok for summer fluff. I'm a fan of Larroquette but he seems to just be playing his Librarians role again. (The Librarians was much better.) As for international intrigue, it struck me as a Whiskey Cavelier wanabe. That one didn't make it either.

Enjoying

[samcpa5653 · 8/10 · 1 June 2019]

And what's wrong with that. Get over yourselves it's just a fun summertime TV show.

The Adventure We Needed.

[Scot_Rutherford · 7/10 · 22 August 2019]

With all the superheroes and LGBTQ material we were missing Lara Croft meets a softer, millennium version of Indiana Jones. Well nothing is perfect and Ms. Pernas steals the show so far. A great summer adventure show with a bonus of seeing John Larroquette. I'll go 8/10 as they polish.

SIX EPISODES TOO MANY!

[YabbaDabbaDabba · 4/10 · 16 February 2023]

Season 1 should have wrapped up after six episodes. But, why not stretch it out to 12? Who thought this was a good idea? There were totally nonsensical twists and turns that never should have seen the light of day. And surprise: One or two late episodes were pure slapstick comedy. For diversity, they must have brought in new writers that never bothered to see the first 8 or 9 episodes, and had zero talent. Surprise, this thing began to stink early on, and I should have thrown a beer bottle at the screen. It was painful to watch!

Now I see there is a season 2 planned. And it was extended to 13 exciting episodes since the stretch from 6 to 12 was so enjoyable. I think I will pass (and wish I had skipped the dumb season 1.

Lighthearted fun

[brucebigelow-10873 · 8/10 · 8 July 2019]

I love the exotic locales and Sofia Pernas is HOT AF. I think a lot of the reviews were done right after the premiere episode from people taking it way too seriously.

It's fun, calm down

[minga272 · 7/10 · 18 August 2019]

A lot of implausible story lines and plot twists however, it's just a lot of fun. The acting feels right for the rompy adventures. The lead characters are likable. The action is pretty good!
