The Librarians: Pilot

Hey Guys,
like i said i watched into the pilot of the new serie the Librarians. Before i tell you what i actually think about it, i will tell you that I will not watch another episode of it and i didn’t watch any of the movies. So it is not on my watch list. So… lets start

The Characters

So we have the librarian Flynn Carsen which is a little arogant at first, a little crazy and not good with people. He wants to work alone and don’t want any help. Than we have an antiterror agent, who give up her job in a minute to work as a Bobyguard for Flynn, which she don’t really and he don’t want one. She just aceppt that whole thing. Magic good, secret library okay, ninjas why not, steal the crown juwels yeah okay.
So before talk more about it we come to the other characters.
We have the sweet girl, which is ill named Cassandra Cillian. She is seeing things what looks a little stupid, but she is sweet and bring a picknickbasket to there search.
Than we have the young asian thief Ezekiel Jones. As long as he can steal things everything is allright. The last one is a cowboy Jake Stone. They are all really stereotype. Somethings make you smile but there is nothing new, nothing what makes you fall in love with this characters.

Time

It happens really much in that serie. The bad guys want to change the world, what they did in a way. They brought magic back, the library is lost, and Cassandra betrayed them and now is back already and so on so. Everything you could have done, they did in the first two episode. The betray of Cassandra is nothing that really gets one, because they know each other for what two hours? Why should she risk her life for them. Also that love story between the agent and Flynn unessassary and where did it come from? Really i didn’t get any of that. All this could have been emotional if we had more time to do this things, but we didn’t so. There was no surprise about the betray and everyone that have seen the start picture knows that Cassandra will be part of the librarians. We know Flynn will not die. So there is no real tension. It just stagnate and it is not interessting.

The idea

I like the idea of magic and saving the world and everyone that like series like that, should look into it. It is not a worse serie, i have seen worse but also alot better things. Maybe it needs more time, but i don’t want to give it more time because the last serie i gave time, really disapointed me so. This will not be on my watchlist but maybe it is something for you.

I would really happy when you tell me what you thing about the serie.
