Episodes are fast-paced and engaging (as of the first three provided for review), especially if you know what you’re getting yourself into.

There are so many leaps of logic it’s basically narrative hopscotch, and some of the most fun I’ve had watching TV this fall. ... I chewed through the first three screeners of the show delighted by its breakneck pacing and implication that every building in Washington, D.C., contains hidden language and spatial reasoning puzzles.

The cast does a good job, Zukerman portrays a young Robert Langdon well, and the directing is more than fine but the story is nowhere near as compelling as the book. There's no consistent tone, The pacing is all over the place, and the story isn't the gripping mystery that made the book so good. Instead, we get a story that comes off as a generic cop procedural show.

Boring, unbelievable development and simplistic clues to the mystery. A complete waste of time.

Zukerman is no Tom Hanks, but he’s sufficiently charming as Langdon to make us believe he’s the young version of Brown’s signature character. ... The more we buy into Langdon’s prolific skills and the more twisty the story is, the better. But we’re not sure if Dworkin, Beattie and their writers will be able to pull it off.

Viewers who can suspend their disbelief about that setup may be able to enjoy this conspiracy thriller that feels, frustratingly, like a wild goose chase.

The Lost Symbol settles into a polished, decently acted rhythm that follows the plotting of a Dan Brown novel. But it never finds an enjoyable way to interpret Brown’s trademark reliance on a main character whose superpower is mansplaining.

“The Lost Symbol” just never feels as adventurous and ambitious as its source material, and maybe that’s because the entire affair feels five years too late.

Has little to nothing to do with the original material, characters are changed, plot changes, and a lot of changes to make this some politically correct thing when there was nothing incorrect within the original source. Nothing worth wasting time to watch.

Immediately hit with Wokeism within first 5 minutes of first episode. Won't watch this crud.
