"Relic Hunter" was promoted as a fun adventure series, with a female Indiana Jones-style lead. Although the premise was interesting, I was quickly disappointed by the numerous flaws: cartoonish dialog, cheesy sets, failed humor and the poor knowledge of history as demonstrated by writers. The casting of the overly self-conscious Tia Carrera as lead did nothing to help things. Pretty she is; but versatile acting skills she has none.
But the death knoll for Relic Hunter definitely came with the "smart, strong woman" and "bumbling male sidekick" dynamics between the lead characters. Some viewers that enjoy this type of formula but I find it demeaning to men and pandering to we ladies.
To sum it up, I unfortunately can't think of anything "Relic Hunter" going for it. After watching two and a half episodes I was done for good with this annoying series!
