The Library has chosen a new group to help safeguard magical cursed artifacts throughout time and around the world. An art historian, a thief , a mathematician and a warrior are sent through the doorway to help bring back the others, who are protected by the Library from the evil recently released. A group of librarians sets off on adventures in an effort to save mysterious, ancient artifacts. I just watched this show and I can honestly say I very much enjoyed it. I was excited for this ever since i heard it was being made, and this show did not disappoint. first off, I love the movies, so of course I knew this show would either continue the story in a great way or totally ruin the idea of the librarian, and I'm happy to say it was the first one. The characters ere great, each one well acted. It was interesting to see Christan Kane play the role of an art genius and not have him be the muscle, but he pulled it off very well. Of course i was happy to see the original librarian come in and pass the torch on to the new ones, and i know well see more of him on this show. The acting was good, the plot was strong, the action well done, the chemistry between the characters was spot on, all in all I had just as much fun with this as I did with the movies. I'm excited to see what happens as the season continues. Any fan of the librarian movies should definitely give this a watch I see a lot of putrid reviews here, in spite of the fact that the TV ratings made The Librarians the most watched cable show debut in 2014, & the hundreds of votes that give it an IMDb rating of 8.6, so I'm guessing the posters who's reviews denigrate the premiere were expecting something else than what we got: An introduction to the world of The Library and those who will care for it…and humanity at large.<br/><br/>As a huge fan of Leverage, which was created by the same team at Dean Devlin's Electric Entertainment, including John Rogers and their dynamic crew, the two-part premiere gave me just what I wanted - and expected.<br/><br/>The birth of any show requires a lot of "pipe" (exposition) as all the characters have to be introduced, the basic storyline(s) laid out, and the world the characters live in has to be defined.<br/><br/>I found the new characters to be very interesting, and my four teenagers have already fallen in love with Lindy's Cassandra, mostly because they are fascinated at how a synesthete can survive real life. I found Rebecca Romijn's Eve Baird to be the least fleshed out of the leads; she didn't have enough to do that define her strengths and weaknesses, but given Devlin & Rodgers' recent track record I'm confident we'll learn more and more backstory as each new episode unfolds.<br/><br/>Can this show reach the heights that Leverage did? That remains to be seen, but it certainly started in a good place.
