The Librarians: The Next Chapter Season 1

I enjoyed the show. The writing is pretty mediocre, but I have to lower my expectations for this show. My favorite two episodes are the one with Cupid, the actor was fantastic, and the one with the tarot cards. I liked the Ghost Train the least as the plotting was a mess.

It's basically Doctor Who if you replace the TARDIS with the annex, the Librarian with the Doctor, and treat the rest of the cast as companions. It's a little different from the original series. The actors in that one seemed more seasoned, and having them be librarians was an interesting twist.

I do like that the show still goes back to the Camelot methodology.

It's fun fluff.

Finished it and was a fantastic show from beginning to end.
No filler eps, everyone looks perfect for the part, Vikram saying goodbye to his wife was sweet and great that it's already renewed.
Hope to get S02 by next year!

Pretty good finale, resolving the threads and ending up the way it was obviously going to, with the team getting accepted as Librarians after all. I was never all that impressed with Gregor as an archvillain, though.

Once I saw that the Sword of Mars could levitate like Excalibur, I figured we were heading for a climactic fight between the two swords, but I expected the swords to do it themselves instead of being wielded.

By the way, the time-travel episode filmed some scenes on what was recognizably the same castle location used by Jessica Green's previous Dean Devlin-produced series, The Outpost. Although I wonder if it's a real location or a leftover set, since the first season of The Outpost was filmed in Utah before they relocated to Serbia, and presumably they recreated at least some of the sets to the same design.
