This isn’t the kind of show that’s trying to reinvent the wheel so much as go for a joyride that can be thrilling even if the destination is clear all along. Throw in some splashy mythology, handsomely shot setpieces on location in Rome and Morocco, and entertaining performances from Fehr, Paras, and a bumbling Michael James Shaw, and you’ve got yourself a solid distraction to turn to in the general desert that is TV’s summer programming.

The pilot shot extensively in Italy and takes great advantage of the gorgeous, historic locations, including the Roman Forum and Appian Way. The dialogue, however, is often distracting and grating.

Far better than the critics early reviews. Well worth the wait to the last episode, don't critics like having fun ? Sofia is an absolute dream, Matt is fine as an always virtuous leading man. Supporting cast was great also. Deftly written character interplay in the quiet moments. How about a Gwen, ( she kicks ass also ! ) Shaw and Father Chuck adventure ? Fun twists and turns to the end, last episode had great moments. Nice graphic technique to intro the overall history of the larger story, and watching **** eat lead is always fun …
Yes, a lot of this is like much in the genre, but it's very well done, lovely to look at, the actors are more than earnest, and great fun to see through to the end. Glad to hear it's renewed. As usual, professional critics know so much about so little, must be rough hating everything....

This show has everything you'd want in a summer blockbuster; action, romance, mystery, treasure-hunting, globetrotting. It's like the perfect summer TV series.

OK-not-great Indiana Jones-inspired series that adds terrorists — who blow up a pyramid in the first five minutes of the premiere. Tonally, it’s very similar to ABC’s “Whiskey Cavalier.”

“Blood & Treasure” is a harmless, unabashed throwback and completely forgettable. Barr is as bland as any other young actor starring in a TV series while wannabe Bond girl Pernas agreeably checks the networks’ present criteria for “exotic.”

Blood & Treasure is a recognizable Halloween costume and an unreliably silly piece of fodder that’s too dumb to be good and not crazy enough to be a good time.

Globe trots to and fro with a mix of banter that tends to fall flat and action scenes that sometimes play a little better. Unfortunately, cases aren’t opened and shut within a single episode.

What you never get here is a single character or idea that comes across as fresh or distinctive or takes the genre any place even vaguely new.

I tried to give this a chance, but I was only able to get through the first 45 minutes of the 2 hour premiere. Blood & Treasure, about a thief and an antiquities expert/ex-FBI agent seeking treasure sought by terrorists, just isn't as interesting as it sounds. Characters and dialogue are mostly bland. Acting is basic. A lot of predictable tropes are in this. I liked the international scenery, but it just wasn't enough to lift up the proceedings.
