    • Trivia
      Jake Stone is an expert Art Historian. Christian Kane majored in Art History in college.
    • Goofs
      All throughout season 2 the time frame of 500 years and 5 centuries is used, however The Tempest is commonly accepted as being written at the turn of the 17th century and the episodes are set in 2015 (the 21st century), therefore it would be 400 years or 4 centuries.

    Next generation of a family-oriented adventure franchise.
    This is the next generation of a family-oriented adventure franchise that started in 2004 and called "The Librarian".

    The Librarian is a series of made-for-TV original movies from TNT, starring Noah Wyle as a librarian who protects a secret collection of magical artifacts.

    A full decade later Noah Wyle's character is still "The" Librarian but the "library", who got him the job in the first place, "feels" that he needs help to his duties. So despite the objections of "The librarian", "the library" (yes I know too many ...quotes) hires 4 more persons (3 "geniuses" and a "federal" agent played by Rebecca Romijn) for his assistance.

    Noah Wyle has a certain presence in his role, but unfortunately he isn't the main protagonist in this. He is more like a recurrent special guest star. That might be a deal breaker for some of the oldest fans of the librarian franchise but maybe you have to wait and see.

    The feel of the series (based on the pilot) is over-the-top adventurous and although there are some heavy themes (stabbing by a sword, deaths, brain cancer etc.) the whole atmosphere feels kind of light, maybe even naive.

    If you are an adult who is looking for an Indiana Jones-like premise you will be disappointed. If you belong to a younger audience you may find this entertaining.

    The production is TV-OK (CGI is mediocre, the constant green screen is too obvious, and the "exotic" places they are visiting are obviously in a studio). The acting is deliberately exaggerated, the dialogs somehow ridiculous and the music more fancy than it should be, but that's common in a series probably made for kids.

    Overall: I'm not sure that I will check the next episodes but someone else might find it entertaining.

    FAQ2

    • Where can I watch this? I looked on xfinity on demand, hulu, and netflix and it is not there. Is it on TNT? Because I looked there too and didn't see it available.
    • Where and when will The Librarians air?
