Truly Dreadful Film

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I tried to watch this but it is text book MISANDRY. In the first 15 minutes they establish the male lead as a bubbling idiot who fails at every he does. His actions are so disastrous that they cause the female lead to be captured and prepared to be roasted alive. The female lead, practically raised in the library, knows everything and succeeds at everything. She doesn't actually need a cohort. I pass. I would rather sped the time re-watching, Lara Croft, Indiana Jones, and Allen Quatermain.

Absolutely brilliant show! We can't wait for season 2.Hopefully it will be more sparkles between two main characters and more beautiful places like NZ,Tasmania,Madagascar,Hawaii,Thailand,Bora Bora,Burma...Even if creators are against of any romance between Hooten and Alex just want to believe they will make some memories during one of next trips.The show is interesting till our heroes have a chemistry.Very enjoyable movie!!!

I really love the idea. treasure hunting is fun, interesting and there's no show like this that I know of. but plot holes are massive, some scenes feels stupid, and more importantly - completely unrealistic. I sort of like the main characters, but i hate how they interact with each other. another thing that feels completely fake. there are few clichés here and there, but not that much as I expected if you consider that show is about traveling around the globe and meeting all kinds of foreigners. I don't understand shows violence policy, starting really rough, but progressing to be far lighter in later episodes. to the point where you stop worrying about anybody important, because you know they are never in real danger. I've had few laughs, I give it that. so right now the show is kinda garbage, but I kinda like it and I really looking forward to it getting better.

Quirky characters and ridiculous situations each episode make this show a lot of fun. The chemistry between its stars(Ophelia Lovibond, Michael Landes) reminds me of the chemistry Douglas and Turner shared in the movies "Romancing the Stone" and "The Jewel of the Nile", (1984, 1985). A different wrinkle is that he is American, she is British. The banter between these two can reach a fever pitch that David and Maddie often arrived at on "Moonlighting,(1985-1989). Borrowing from the 80's doesn't always equal success but here it has. It works. I love it. I highly recommend it. It has been a great escape that I look forward to every Friday. Sky 1 simply has to renew this little gem! Yeah, I said it.
