    Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
    Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
    Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
    Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
    vidiamungal It was a modern day Indiana Jones. Full of action, good content which include humour. Unique show. Please bring it back.
    glornt This show is just good, clean fun -- even the theme music tell us so! -- which probably annoys many viewers, but those who prefer trash have pretty much everything else on TV now, anyway, so please just let us enjoy this one.And it's not as simplistic as a casual, one-time viewer might conclude. While there is no byzantine season-long story arc whose sole purpose is to show how "clever" the writers are, and each episode pretty much makes sense as a standalone story, there is development of the characters and the situation. The two main characters are still getting to know each other, and there are more adventures to experience. There is the question of whether the Lady will actually marry the British dweeb, too, but this doesn't intrude much into the actual adventures.I've just watched the season finale, and while I'm afraid it may also be the series finale, I very much hope it is not. After all, we need to find out about those bears, and there are already enough (meaning: far too many) shows for people who need overly convoluted plot lines to make them feel smart.Note about the rating: While this is not on my all-time top ten favorite shows list (yet -- 8 episodes just isn't enough), this rating is based on comparisons within the genre; in this context, it is right up there with my favorites. The closest among current shows that I watch would probably be The Librarians (another show that I'm not sure will be back), but without the magical elements, and a smaller team (a couple of nice contrasts).
    velacharles33 So far, this has been a reasonably entertaining story line. I find it reminiscent of "Romancing the Stone" with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. The characters are entertaining and the action is fast paced. It seems that Hooten is continually forced to extricate either himself or the Lady from some predicament. The chemistry is building, though still somewhat short of expectations.
    patm-61816 It a refreshing comedy adventurous show. It reminds me of Robert Wagner's "Hart To Hart" but much better writing and production. I remember Ms. Ophelia from "Elementary" she looks a little more mature yet still a very attractive actress. I like the location shots and the photography. I would hope it is renewed for additional seasons.
