Having been a fan of Michael Landis for a long time I was pleased to see that he had another series coming up. I recorded the first episode and watched it with my beloved wife. She summed it up in one of our family's time honoured phrases, "Another guilty pleasure!" HatL stands in the archaeologist tradition of Indiana Jones but is more closely allied with the Michael Douglas motion pictures begun with "Romancing the Stone": boorish adventurer with a heart of gold teams with a snooty, wealthy and very beautiful woman join forces to find lost artifacts. The secret ingredient in HatL is the dynamic interplay between the two lead actors, and the brilliant writing. The crisp dialogue is always refreshing. And it is laugh-out-loud funny! We love it and hope you might too.
I watch everything. I'm that person that notices that the hotel in Ghostbusters 2, was the same hotel in American Horror Story. With that said...This is a full-on production, with some quality people working on, and behind the scenes. I love the attention to detail! The scenes (real locations) have texture, and grit. The music and sound effects are laced appropriately. The camera crew is legit, with wide shots, booms, dolly's, helicopters, etc (no B-roll here). This show obviously has a budget and people who know what they are doing. Good job guys. This is why you storyboard, and have meetings with the crew (I sense congruity). This show has a good pace, and is easy to watch. You may have to be in the mood for it, but when you have an itch for something like this, there isn't a whole lot out there to choose from. I would compare it to movies like Romancing the Stone, Indiana Jones, National Treasure, and Lara Croft. Those are movies, not TV. Similar TV shows would be Voyagers (yup I said that),and The Librarian (the mini series not the show). As you can see TV doesn't create stuff like this, Movies do. So give it a watch and judge for yourself. As for me I think it has potential, and I like the cinematography.

I thought about giving a 9, then why not 10 out of 10. I was also saddened to see reviews which thought this series "rubbish" & went further to pick the cast etc to pieces. I understand everyone is different & free to express their opinion, but what about "if you have nothing nice to say, why say it at all". May I say I love this series immensely. The way the characters bounce off each other in dialogue, the very British upper lip, the scenery, the story line all make for pure & simple entertainment which has me engrossed, smiling, happy & content for the entire program. It's sheer fun & that's what I'm sure the directors were out to achieve, no sinister nail biting high blood pressure drama to have you dangling off the edge of your seat. Lighten up people & enjoy this for what it is.
This was really good! Why would they cancel something that lots of people clearly enjoy. It had everything, a bit of love interest, adventure, comedy the lot. So annoyed.
New thing on Sky1 with Indiana Jones like treatment...its good fun. Much better than so much crap on TV right now.
The cast is good and production values are right there with good U.S TV Series.
Story lines in first 5 episodes are also good and kept me engaged.
I am not looking for anything more from any of the TV series and this fits my bill at least.
So in conclusion, its worth a watch if you are also into exploring new series like me.
