I enjoyed the original films and 2014 series of "The Librarians". Yet, somehow, the latest iteration, simply doesn't resonate with me. Why? I think the underlying problem is its been done before and frankly, its been done a lot "better". The writing for this latest series feels uninspired, like its going through the motions, taking little to no risks along thew way. Almost as if, it had been written by lawyers. The result looks good but feels dreary and dull. I watched the first three episodes and was well and truly out. I will add its no fault of the actors. Its a reasonable cast but everything else feels so off, it doesn't really make much of a difference. In summary, drab, boring, risk adverse, cliched and uninspiring. I'll stick with the older films and 2014 series, instead.

I'm sorry, but I found this disappointing. Both the script and the acting (by the majority of the cast) are subpar. If I have one positive thing to say about the show, it's that I appreciate the costume design and visuals in general, but that's nowhere near enough to warrant a higher score.
