This series is very interesting in a few ways. When you watch it for the first time things such as poor acting, 'B-grade' and incorrect casting come to mind.
But if you watch it a few times and get a feel for the series and what it's looking at the stories start to become more important.
The subject matter being religion, philosophy and conspiracies are controversial topics in themselves and the fact I mention it is bound to bring negative comments. The reason for this is religion and philosophy aren't commonly understood and conspiracy theorists often are less then sane of mind hence they are un-trusted. Yet this is a series that has enough truth to be believable yet does twist reality as all well written series are leaving a more believable scenario then unbelievable.
I do agree on the comments regarding the characters being stereotypical made in another comment and there could be a little more originality there however the mysterious character of Vincent does tend to make it more palatable.
Overall it's a good series if you like stories. If you watch programmes for acting then this is not the series for you but if you watch programmes for the stories then this is an excellent series - just get past the first few episodes and it wouldn't hurt to look into the main religious beliefs a little, the pyramids, mainstream philosophy and inventions circa 1400AD-1600AD.
It also helps to know what the word Veritas means - it's Latin for 'truth', so the title 'Veritas: the quest' makes a little more sense, 'Truth: the quest'
