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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

So cringey. I'm on board with camp. I love camp. But this is not campy. Or if it is, its they over shot the campy by a lot. They mistook camp to mean they had to literally spell every little thing out.. I generally like the actors (Shaw is the only one really acting though- more him less other ). But I cant sit and watch this. So I put it on as background. All the way on the other side of the house I'm still groaning. But I still watch because I'm interested in the over all story. And im masochistic I guess. Who Knows.

It seems like they had a great opportunity with a not terribly complicated story, but just made it too simple. Who is the market they were targeting? Just a wee bit less terrible lines is all I'm asking.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

There were plenty of improbable scenes and a lot of holes in the story. But, ignoring those issues there was plenty of action and was certainly entertaining. The dialogue was not always the best but it was a fun pilot. And the best thing was the fact that everything wasn't resolved in one episode which typically happens in other programming. I have the impression that the story won't be wrapped up until the final episode.

If you want to watch an Indiana Jones film reincarnated for the summer on broadcast TV, here's your show. It will be moderately entertaining for a few weeks. However, some people are already talking about this being an ongoing series. A ten week summer run will be lightly entertaining for fans of Raiders of the Lost Ark and the like, but one summer will be plenty.

What started as a cheesy attempt at a Indiana Jones/Uncharted rip-off about terrorist's hunting ancient relics and an ex-FBI agent and his art thief ex trying to find it before they do.

At first it was enjoyable if cheesy, but the site was at least 5 episodes too long, so the show was spinning it's wheels to fit the required number of episodes. The reason why Cleopatra's tomb would be so important was never really explained and when it was revealed was pretty much pointless and much more easier methods for a terror attack are available. The main villian (probably because he was the most expensive actor) left 2/3rds of the way through.

Disappointing really.

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

Hart to Hart meets a very cheesy Indiana Jones. Tired myths and conspiracies sprinkled liberally. Liked the Italian interiors, though.
