Though in reality it's really 3 separate Two hour Films (that is how I saw it) that need to be watched in order to make sense, considering this was on The Sci-Fi channel which is usually filled with garbage I was Pleasantly surprised as it's really quite good, and looks like it has a fairly large budget which is unusual considering there is No one in it that you will have heard of.
The acting is reasonably good by all concerned, and if you enjoyed the similar in vein 'The Librarian' Series of Adventure TV Movies then you will enjoy this.
Worth watching.

Totally derivative of Indiana Jones, but then, Indiana Jones is totally derivative of earlier films and radio programs. Taken on its own merit, the Jack Hunter series is a fun and adventurous romp. While that's pretty much it, that's more than mainstream media has been giving us for some time. The acting is passable. The writing is decent. The special effects are dated and sometimes cheesy, but again, passable. My favorite part of the films is the dichotomy between Jack and his nemesis, Albert Littman. The actors play well off of each other, and it provides a sense of tension and danger that has been sorely lacking in Hollywood films of late.
A good adventure with a proper plot, some goodies, some baddies, a couple of twists and a lot of action. Think Indiana Jones, romancing the stone and the mummy. The special effects are low budget but so too with indiana Jones. The acting is not superb but so too with the mummy. If it had been released in the 80's it would have been a classic.
"Jack Hunter and the Lost Treasure of Ugarit" is one of a series of three episodes, 2008 - 2009. Kinda like "The Librarian" or "Jesse Stone". Only Jack isn't quite as good as those. The acting is bad enough to make your teeth hurt. Still, ya gotta love square jawed Ivan Sergei
as Jack Hunter. He's like the hero in a romance novel. And, I never get tired of looking at Joanne Kelly, who plays the fetching, Nadia Ramadan. // The Bushwacker 11/3/2021.
I watched this series last night, and I was actually surprised to find an adventure series with a rather engaging plot.Even though it had some flaws here and there which are rather difficult to pass, the story-line was interesting. They had some problems with the special effects in some part of the movie but mostly it was enjoyable. I was expecting some " American treasure hunter movie" and I was right, it has many clichés. The actors acted pretty well, still it could have been better... The story resembles "Indiana Jones" movies, and you would probably like this series if you are a fan of "treasure-hunter" movies... My vote is 8 out of 10, as it was a nice, relaxing movie.
