The Librarians

I like this tv series so much,funny,educational,good characters,interesting adventures around the world and also magic and mystery.old school type of fashioned tv show , absolutely worthy to watch.

This show isn't trying to be great. It's not trying to be serious . It's just fun and silly. It also isn't a Warehouse 13 ripoff. It's spunoff from a series of movies called The Librarian from 2004, 5 years before Warehouse 13. Watch the movies first and you'll enjoy it more. Everyone rating this show 1 star just didn't get it. Also, who rates a show 1 star anyway? Be real, very few things are really that bad.

Love the show, simple as that. fun and new and hope to save the show from the rigid men and their quest for profit and scandal. it was a slow start with some strange and not pleasant performances but it came to be and now it is here and must stay for another season. please suport the show .

I've purchased three series to watch, Eureka, The Librarians and Warehouse 13. I've watched most of these on cable, but not all episodes - and since I like to own DVDs and watch whenever I want without relying on the mood of streaming companies, I preferred to buy them.

The Librarians are good - if you don't expect much. Eureka was better, but Librarians are likeable too - the acting was meh from Lindy (annoying most of the time), and surprisingly good from the young John Harlan Kim. The major character played by Noah Wyle was not very convincing - it was like a "generic Doctor Who", who would never get to stay with the hottie X-Men Mystique... come on... the actor is very dull and far from attractive. Jenkins played by John Larroquette was excellent - he is a very well trained actor. Christian Kane is so, so (much better looking then than the recent "auntie" long hair showed on online pictures...). And Rebecca Romijn is... well, hot and beautiful as ever. If Jerry O'Connell ever gets tired of her, I'm available.

The effects were - most of the time - reasonable.

Resuming, good to watch as long you are not too demanding.

This is the next generation of a family-oriented adventure franchise that started in 2004 and called "The Librarian".

The Librarian is a series of made-for-TV original movies from TNT, starring Noah Wyle as a librarian who protects a secret collection of magical artifacts.

A full decade later Noah Wyle's character is still "The" Librarian but the "library", who got him the job in the first place, "feels" that he needs help to his duties. So despite the objections of "The librarian", "the library" (yes I know too many ...quotes) hires 4 more persons (3 "geniuses" and a "federal" agent played by Rebecca Romijn) for his assistance.

Noah Wyle has a certain presence in his role, but unfortunately he isn't the main protagonist in this. He is more like a recurrent special guest star. That might be a deal breaker for some of the oldest fans of the librarian franchise but maybe you have to wait and see.

The feel of the series (based on the pilot) is over-the-top adventurous and although there are some heavy themes (stabbing by a sword, deaths, brain cancer etc.) the whole atmosphere feels kind of light, maybe even naive.

If you are an adult who is looking for an Indiana Jones-like premise you will be disappointed. If you belong to a younger audience you may find this entertaining.

The production is TV-OK (CGI is mediocre, the constant green screen is too obvious, and the "exotic" places they are visiting are obviously in a studio). The acting is deliberately exaggerated, the dialogs somehow ridiculous and the music more fancy than it should be, but that's common in a series probably made for kids.

Overall: I'm not sure that I will check the next episodes but someone else might find it entertaining.
