The religious overlap--both Christian and Jewish extremists appear to be involved; the word is still out on the Muslims--lends Dig a certain resonance and depth, just as the location work in Jerusalem gives it authenticity. But in the end, it's about a man who needs to save the world to save himself. Or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, Dig promises to be a whole lot of crazy fun to watch.

Tim Kring (“Heroes”) and Gideon Raff (“Homeland”) teamed to create this 10-episode miniseries, and while they’re smart enough to acknowledge their debt to “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” they aren’t able to match their source material.

Dig is a complex piece of drama which appeals to people like me who are interested in the historical aspects of the Bible; people like me who have read the book of Revelation and finally, people like me who are following the prophecies and know some things about the preparations for the Third Temple to be built. In my opinion the characters are interesting, the history sticks to the facts we have been told, realistic characters, a look at how Jerusalem is today, good script-writers, and the best location possible. I will point out that the plot is complicated, but made easier to follow if one has read anything about the Third Temple. I do realize this is a fictional "take" on what is in the process of happening. I do not know how long this story line can continue, but I do so much look forward each week to see what twists and turns come next.

I am not fond of any religious stuff, but this high suspense multicultural drama did win me over after few chapters. there is lot of complexity in the story which might be confusing at first (not more than Game of Thrones), but the plot moves fast and kept me on the edge most of the time, Main characters are archetypal (similar to Bridge) and not developed in depth, but still somehow believable and like able. If you like mystery, conspiracy thrillers or shows like Bridge, American Odyssey .... Dig will pull you right in.

It's sure to make for addictive viewing for the Dan Brown faithful. The rest of us will make a lot of snack runs.

There’s a third storyline involving a cow. Really, I’m not kidding. These, I’m guessing will come together, at some point, but I’m not sure I’ll be willing to wait that long for the payoff.

It's one crazy mess of a TV "event series" that doesn't make much effort to clarify what it's about in the early going, plopping viewers into two concurrent plots that will presumably intersect at some point.

There’s little rhyme or reason to the way the series jumps between locales and doles out its prevalent plot twists, and that kills most of the desire to see how these disparate narrative threads will eventually converge.

This thing appears to be going nowhere fast. And it’s already taking way too long to get there.

Is there some bias against religious shows? I really don't understand all the negative reviews. To me this is exactly what I want. Great story and subject matter, mystery, great cast, great production values, pretty good acting.

I don't get the mediocre reviews for this show. So far, I like it, but I am into shows that are a bit weird, mystical, and have confusing strands that eventually come together. The cast is great! I am a huge fan of Jason Isaacs (R.I.P. AWAKE -gone too soon). Anne Heche is underused, but hoping she becomes more central. This show is like a hybrid of Touch, Believe, Awake, Orphan Black & Indiana Jones. I am eager to find out how it all unfolds. I am giving it a 9 with room to hopefully grow.

This show had so much wasted potential. The premise is so intriguing, and it pretty much hooks you from the start. It is also clear that the creators actually did their research, with the antagonists being based on real-life extremist groups. Unfortunately, the storytelling feels incredibly rushed, and the ending is a massive cop-out which leaves gaping plot holes. The twists in the last few episodes feel almost tacked-on, as if the execs at USA Network told them to wrap it up in order to turn it into an "event series". By this point, the show also loses focus by concentrating excessively on the murder of poor-man's-Laura-Palmer Emma Wilson instead of focusing on the conspiracies and political intrigue. With its strong premise and solid acting, Dig could have been excellent. Had it been treated as a proper series and had it been produced through a platform such as Amazon Prime or Netflix, instead of being a miniseries for a second-rate cable channel, it would have been a brilliant show. Unfortunately, as it stands, Dig is a mess .

Dig is a huge disappoinment. I waited 'till the very last episode for something big to happen, but it never did. There isn't any pay-off for the 10 hours that I spent watching. You can save your time, though.

OMG can more stuff be thrown at us in the pilot? Instead of building a story slowly "Dig" is all over the place, literally. It was just a scratch-my-head mess. I did not even get a sense of what this is suppose to be about or who the characters are. So much information but no idea of what the information means. In one scene in Mexico the sound track music was Middle Eastern....what? Just one example of what a mess this is and believe me there were many.
