Based on Dan Brown's international bestselling thriller "The Lost Symbol," the series follows the early adventures of young Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, who must solve a series of deadly puzzles to save his kidnapped mentor and thwart a chilling global conspiracy.
Not surprised. All the ingredients are there for a great great show, but the leads just didn't have the appeal or charismata (lolz ;) ) in my opinion, to carry it. It also felt very stuffy and old fashioned. BBC should pick it up.
I've watched the first two episodes and enjoyed it. Looking forward to more.

Thanks for the heads up, I'd never heard of it but really enjoyed the first episode.

Yes, I didn't miss Tom Hanks at all here. :)

As a fan of Dan Brown and his Langdon books I was suspicious of this adaptation. How can someone else than TH portray Robert Langdon. Well, it seems that it can be done. After the first episode I am hopeful of the success of this show.

I liked him in "Manhattan" (about the Manhattan Project).

If they were to make another book then it'd be another show, maybe from the Origin book but there'd be only one same character.

I'm just being facetious by picking on BBC for being stuffy and old fashioned to provide a little levity to my harsh criticism. ;)
