Still interesting
TheToday22 December 2022
The main storyline keeps you interested, the rhythm is following a decent pace so you won't get bored, and Jess is definitely a greatly built character. Also it's fun and somehow original how the Elvis world was brought into the plot in a kind of twisted way. The singing moment was fun nevertheless.

There are some worrying issues that have been growing alongside the series that make the whole pack a bit difficult to buy sometimes.

For example, how do they younglings keep knowing everything about everything historically speaking? How can a young influencer suddenly become the best hacker ever? Stuff like that.

Anyway, I'm still on board. I'm liking the series in many ways so far. And I'm never ever skipping that amazing intro sequence.

More or less ok

The heist parts of the episode were fun and I am liking the snow burn with the FBI agent. And I love the family story of Jess and Liam. But I have two main problems with the show. A) the story about Jess being undocumented is quite boring. I mean, we get it is a major issue, you do not need to remind us about it every 10 minutes. B) the puzzles make no sense. Pretty much everything could be an answer or a hint. It is not fun to the public if we cannot try to guess too. Even the Hardy Boys was better done than this.

I keep watching because I am liking the characters, even the villain. I think she has promise.

This show has some good aspects to it. My biggest problem is the characters fit into whatever plot gap they are needed. Characters don't need to have prior knowledge of events, places, and people. The group settles on the clue in this episode too conveniently. There's no set up, no prior allusions, nothing. In this episode, the group realizes that the latest clue is in Graceland and Elvis was a "Treasure Protector" as well. The whole group seems to have more information on Elvis Presley than the average person, and I'm not saying no one in Gen Z is an Elvis fan, but let's be real, this was pretty unrealistic. My advice would be, instead of making everyone a kind of sort of Elvis expert, make one person an expert, maybe insert a line about their parent or grandparent being obsessed with Elvis.
