Relic Hunter (1999–2002)
5/10
On the heels of Indiana Jones
17 December 2020
Being a fan of anything not ordinary, I have now watched each episode about 3 times, yet I'm still not a 100% convinced. The first thing that I'd criticize is the quality of the scripts, at least for most of the series. Too often, the dialogue seems to focus on the unnecessary rather than conveying the plot. The characters themselves seem rather stereotype: the know-it-all main character, the clumsy sidekick, the man-eating secretary, and so forth. And then there's this dreaded hidden mechanism in every episode, that opens a secret chamber. Isn't there a thousand other ways to uncover mysteries? And too often than not, the locations where the story takes place look a damn side more like a Canadian forest than some exotic place. The series could have been a lot better but despite all that maintains a certain charme.
