I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I love this movie so much

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

If you are threatened by anything new or innovative do not worry - there is not a single original idea in this series. This series recycles stale plot points from any number of previous sci fi TV series. It steals from series like 1997's "Relic Hunters" all the way to the current "The Librarians" and any number of series in between.Those other series at least had engaging lead Actors , this series not so much. British Actress Ophelia Lovibond is pretty much a "walking overbite". Her dramatic range is limited to delivering lines in the same annoying flat monotone. Michael Landes at 45 is getting far too long in the tooth to play these roles. He is about fifteen years too old to be playing this role - and it shows in every scene. He looks very tired, and disappointed.There is absolutely no chemistry between the two leads. They stumble through each scene as if they were highly medicated. The only bright spot in this production is Jane Seymour. Her scenes remind us of what a competent actress can do to raise the level of a production. Unfortunately Seymour is rarely utilized .

"Hooten & the Lady" is an easy to see TV show, with the depth of a paper and with little to zero originality. However, the easy charm of the lead characters, their banter and the locations and their 'mystery' will keep the viewer interested in its short run of 8 episodes.Lady Alex Spencer-Parker works for a museum in Britain. Her path gets across rogue, brutish, I-don't-know-what-a-saving-machine-is Hooten and pretty soon they both team up to search for lost artifacts, run away from 'bad people' and make havoc all around.The story is simple as they come. In each episode, Hooten and Alex get together (for one reason or another) and have to work together to get to some mysterious object (normally in 'exotic' places like Burma). It doesn't stray for away from a cheap Indiana Jones knock-off, but both Alex and Hooten are charming enough (Lovibond and Landes doing an acceptable job with the paper thin personalities of the characters) and their paring works (one is always clean, smart and tries to do the right thing, the other a thief, dirty and selfish). With a recycled plot that is basically the same for each episode, it all depends on the characters and it is good that it is fun to share 40 minutes with them.It all ends being shallow but fun, and it is short enough that it doesn't overstay its welcome.

I'm willing to watch commercials for this show. I've never felt that about any show. A real fan will put up with commercials because they know what pays for good product and thank the advertiser by buying their products. It would be good with some product placement, especially if it helps the plot and makes it fun to watch. The 'lady' plays well in 'Elementary' (USA Sherlock). A 9, because it is not offered in USA and will take too long for season 2

I know there are some reviews panning this but I have really enjoyed it! Yes, it's not an original idea but frankly TV execs rarely do these days. The stories have been engaging and interesting, to the point where I want to go and find out a bit more about the legends involved. The dynamic between the two characters has been brilliantly written and the humour mixed with the action has been entertaining. I've watched the whole set in a few days and after thinking "I'll record it and give it a go", not expecting much but will be truly disappointed if it isn't followed up by Season 2. Easy to watch, funny, action packed and tours beautiful locations.
