Even Ritson and Coulby can't save this hot mess
elle3112 October 2016
The usually watchable Blake Ritson is reduced to a grating accented villain while Angel Coulby's characters changes her identity more times than her clothes during the episode. Lady Alex is no Lara Croft or Sydney Fox, and overly smug Hooten leaves me cold despite snarky mercenary usually being my type. Nasty anti-patriotism subtext using the name of a once real pro-Greek independence group for a group of supposed fantatics who want to start a war (Greece is broke, even Alexander the Great's body isn't going to fund a war). Cringe worthy gay reveal played for laughs to finish. Cliché and cheesy and not in a good way. Go and watch "Relic Hunter", "Veritas: The Quest" or "The Librarians" if you want action and adventure, or "Upstairs, Downstairs" if you want to see want Ritson and Landes are capable of.
