People like to imagine themselves in the place of invincible heroes who travel to remote corners of our planet in search of amazing historical artifacts, not forgetting to engage in battle with dangerous enemies. That is why the genre of adventure literature and cinema continues to be incredibly popular, attracting the most extensive audience. But if the books take in hand, unfortunately, not all, then adventure films are watched by much more people and it is not surprising that producers try to invest in them serious money and attract remarkable, far from talentless filmmakers to create content. The most real example of the classic adventure movie was a series of films about the adventures of the famous archaeologist Indiana Jones. Based on the adventures of Dr. Jones, many books were written and even a series about his young years was staged, and third-party filmmakers even tried to recreate the successfully working formula of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, which sometimes even led to quite good artistic results. And one of these rather good attempts to keep up with Indiana Jones was the television film 'Library', which appeared on screens in 2004.
The tape, shot by order of the American TV channel TNT, could not boast of a large production budget, and nevertheless gave fans of the adventure heat a lot of emotions. At the head of the story was a brilliant specialist in almost all spheres of life Flynn Carsen, who could not arrange his personal and working life, but once crossing the threshold of the city library, he thereby became one of the most important defenders of the Earth from all sorts of mystical disasters and insidious villains who only slept and saw how to enslave humanity. The attention of the audience to ' Librarian' was not influenced even by not the most impressive special effects and a rather average production of combat scenes, because the main character literally radiated charisma from the screen, and the story itself was incredibly fascinating and tried to fully follow all the precepts ' Indiana Jones' while being an independent work of art. Having found the Spear of Destiny, in the subsequent sequel Flynn Carsen went in search of the legendary King Solomon’s Spear, followed by a collision with vampires in ' Curse of the Cup of Judas'. Thus, the trilogy of popular television films about Flynn Carsen ended, but this did not mean that the story of the Librarian & #39 is over. The authors actually had a lot of ideas for the development of the franchise, which was decided to implement as a series 'Libraries' which became a full-fledged continuation and partly a spin-off of the original series of films.
Directly the plot of the project tells us about the new heroes of the series, who came to the aid of the chief librarian, Flynn Carsen (Wylie). Combatant and uncompromising Colonel Eve Baird (Rebecca Romaine), art history expert Jacob Stone (Christian Kane), mathematical genius Cassandra Killian (Lindy Booth), and skilled thief Ezekiel Jones (John Harlan Kim) were invited to visit the Library, after which their future was already predetermined. Being under the control of the immortal caretaker Jenkins (John Larrockett), the characters gradually begin to learn the true state of affairs on our planet, and what a surprise it was for them that the legends about King Arthur, vampires, cursed treasures, and other mythological things are not actually fiction, but the real truth. And while the chief librarian, Flynn Carsen, is engaged in his research and only periodically visits his main place of work, his young assistants must take on tasks that their older comrade cannot simply physically perform. Librarians have many enemies. To begin with, they must face the main mysterious organization 'Snake Brotherhood' Dulac (Matt Frewer), after which Moriarty himself (David S. Lee) comes into play, as well as other dangerous villains that are not so easy to cope with. But our team will not give themselves an offense, because each of its members is a specialist in some special field and together they will not let their opponent win so easily.
Not to say that the series ' Librarians' fully redeems all the flaws that were in the original trilogy of films, but the story looks with interest and the narrative, as usual, thought out to the smallest detail and contains a lot of historical facts that helped the creators to work out exciting adventures. The biggest problem ' Librarians' can be called not the most impressive visual effects, as well as sometimes tedious conversations that only fill the timekeeping, but do not help to reveal the images of the characters and move the plot forward. It was these shortcomings that were once seen in the films with Noah Wylie, but due to the fact that in each part of the trilogy it was necessary to tell a full story in a short time, they were not particularly striking. In the case of the series, screen time was stretched over many episodes and the authors had to contrive to hide the existing problems in funding and stretch the action to the necessary air standards. Because of this, the dynamics of the series periodically suffers, and the culmination of certain fascinating storylines has to wait prohibitively long. But still 'Libraries' have much more strengths in their asset, which cannot but please fans of this franchise.
The unambiguous success of the project can be called the fact that Noah Wylie, with all his busyness, continues to periodically appear in the frame and please the audience with his crown image. Flynn Carsen has become much more reasonable and serious, but Wylie does not forget how it all began and gladly plays for us a comedy that gives the image of the chief librarian a special sharpness and highlight. Also glad that there was no job left Judson played by Bob Newhart. In the films of the trilogy, he got the role of Curator Carsen, Judson, and Newhart happily returned to the franchise to help it develop and at the same time not break away from its roots in the feature films. However, the merits of the renewed cast, led by Rebecca Romaine, should not be underestimated here. The team of librarians quite successfully resists mystical threats and let them talk too much about anything, still they have something to please the viewer and take him on his incredible adventures.
In conclusion, I want to say that ' Librarians ' send their viewers on unique adventures, and although the series has certain artistic problems, it still feels the enthusiasm and desire to reveal secrets that haunt humanity throughout its history. And this means that 'Libraries' appeared on the etheric grid for good reason and are worth reading.
The series is a continuation of the series of films about the librarian Flynn Carsen and a mysterious library with magical artifacts, but in general it was even more interesting, since it often does not focus on one villain, and most of the series include their plot and investigation. Yes, the main antagonists there, too, but the plot does not always revolve around them.
In this series, you will see a team of librarians travel around the world and investigate mysterious cases related to magic. But what I especially liked was that it involved subjects and characters of mythology and fairy tales of different peoples from all over the world, as well as from other works. And the most interesting thing is that they interpret each case in their own way, thereby expanding knowledge about the subject of research and offering different extraordinary methods of solving. Sometimes they combine technology and magic. I generally like when the mythology of different peoples manage to weave into one plot.
Now let's talk about the team.
There will be an old friend Flynn Carsen - a very smart, although at the same time crazy character.
A trio of new librarians will be added.
Cassandra Killian, who is a genius in computing, but at the same time is a kind and emotional girl. Her mind will often be in demand.
Jacob Stone is an expert in history, but looks like a good-natured cowboy. But the appearance is a little misleading.
Ezekiel Jones is an expert in theft and penetration. He looks narcissistic, but he's not really mean at all.
The new trio fit in well. They have a completely different role in the team, but together their abilities give a stunning result.
Well, the new keeper is Eve Baird, who, although the only serious in the team, but at the same time is not as strict as she often wants to appear, despite her army training.
And the mysterious Jenkins, whose story will be revealed over time. His knowledge often helped the team.
Some will say that the series is too childish, but here I would argue, and it is not always a bad thing. There are not so many downsides to this series. So fans of this topic should be interesting.
The series “Libraries” is a perfect example of how to do qualitatively, being seriously limited in means. It is clear that the authors do not have enough money: in the graphics sometimes you feel the invisible aroma of the great and terrible “SiDab”, but this does not want to break your face.
It's a childishly naive, but very cute and lamp show. It doesn’t slip into stupidity or fanfiction. Yes, the characters here are smarter than the average person, but they are still real people, not walking Mary Sue. They doubt their actions, get into difficult situations, in which sometimes they even lose, but never sit still and do not let go of their hands. They're not trying to seem smart, they're really smart. These characters are interesting and not boring to watch, if only because they solve problems using their intelligence, knowledge and ingenuity, rather than brute force. Here, even the action heroine, played by tro-Mystic Rebecca Romain, says: “Fight smarter.”
And, most importantly, it revived the unforgettable atmosphere of adventure, which on TV mercilessly scored with sticks and stones during the 6th season of Doctor Who. Until the Indiana Jones franchise was restarted, the Uncharted series was transferred to the screen, this series is almost the only representative of the genre that makes it possible to simply adjust what is happening on the screen, and does not hold the viewer for an idiot. The authors do not try to jump above their heads, knowing what they are doing and what their final product should look like. The Librarians take the Doctor from the TARDIS, disguise them as the Librarian and his magical Library, which is bigger inside than outside, put them both in the Indiana Jones universe with only the Supernatural budget at their disposal, and they do it surprisingly well.

I was looking for a series to watch, studied the rating, read reviews. The series with an unpretentious title Librarians, judging by the reviews, promised something adventure and exciting, easy and with humor. So I decided to try and see.
From the beginning, I felt like this was nonsense. Okay, it's a fantasy story, with magic and all sorts of magic. But if it were interesting! Alas, the characters are inconclusive, grotesque, do not play, and often twist. The plot is flaked on the principle of a junk cake - it does not matter what is inside, the main cream with roses on top is larger to attract attention, and "peeple sucks." The plot of the most primitive, "rose" - magical things and pseudo-intellectual replicas, which, according to the idea, apparently, should convince the viewer of the deep erudition of the characters, but in fact only prove that the scriptwriters use Google, and do not too much soak in the analysis of the data obtained. About logic (which must inevitably be present when solving ingenious intellectual riddles, which abound in the everyday life of heroes) there have not heard.
In general, a fantasy primitive gum, with a curve instead of a game, a superficial plot and flat inconclusive characters. Naive, stupid and tasteless. I struggled with 2 episodes, all hoping that the introductory dust will end, and something interesting and adequate will go. But I didn't wait and I quit. How this series got into the rankings, and holds up season 4, to be honest, is a mystery to me. I don't recommend it.
Save the world every week! Twice before and twice before Friday!
Funny, adventure and fun series about artifacts and unrealistically intelligent people. It looks a lot like Warehouse 13, so what?
The plot is twisted, almost all the series are non-trivial and interesting (yes, there are a couple of boring ones). The main and secondary characters are thought out, they have personalities and destinies (yes, not at the level of the Wire, well, well) and watching their relationship is interesting and funny.
Thanks to the tattoo, Lamia learned Yates’ poem “The Second Coming.” In some ways, the series is even instructive.
I think it's worth watching. I will be waiting for season 3.
A series I didn’t expect anything from. And yet... I watched one episode, by accident. It took a while. It’s especially good to see the original language.
What to say - naive, cute and... wonderful! Of course, there is a certain similarity in the details with some fantastic and adventure series, but still... Some compare it to 'Storage 13' but I gave up on the third episode. Probably the thing is that for me before there were 'Libraries'.
I think it's the amazing ease of this series. The plots are simple, inconsistencies, to be honest, I did not look. And the characters ... are just incredible. Remain in memory long after the end of the viewing. They are so naive, so cute and so different. Most importantly, they complement each other wonderfully. Unlike Storage & #39; and other TV shows like that, these aren’t uniformed people, they’re not connected to the FBI or anything else. These are ordinary people with their shortcomings and advantages, who have opened a new, amazing world. Adventure in its purest form. Without any conventions, intrigue and dirt, which is now so much in other projects. In this series, death is neither death nor quarrel.
Here, the conclusion was born on its own in the process of writing a review. This series simply amazes with its purity, naivety and kindness. Like his amazing characters.

Too bad it ended so quickly. I'm looking forward to a new series but ... without dragging and pulling cream. The most important thing is to stop in time and beautifully!
P.S.: I love all the costumes.
It's Dulak. Do you have a double cheese and a double cheese? Real evil!
If you get a letter in a simple, unmarked white envelope, and the text appears in golden letters during the reading process, do not rush to write it off as inventive jokes or deception of vision - perhaps the Library needs you. At the interview, you will be offered either the place of the Librarian: adventures, running around the mountains and valleys, searching for strange artifacts, communicating with crazy mythical creatures, saving the world every day (on Fridays twice); or his Guardian: keeping the Librarian safe while he adventures, runs around, searches for strange artifacts, communicates with schizanic mythical creatures and saves the world. You will also meet the wise Judson, the nervous and strict Charlene, the grumpy and skeptical Jenkins... and Cal, although Escalibur only allows himself to be called abbreviated to Flynn Carson, with whom he likes to fence... oddly enough, with swords. Welcome back.
Amazing thing. A light, unobtrusive, sometimes naive series, it manages to touch on serious things and “give drama”, which, however, does not look unnatural or stupid. Jokes, jokes, parody and obvious laughs over clichés in their own genre do not pass into petrosianism and absurdity. Taking with the world a thread from Indiana Jones and Vault 13, as well as all sorts of urban fantasy, he remains himself, and watching the unfolding action is always interesting, even if you learn the motives used. The main characters (as usual, different in types and life positions, but sporadically working in a team) do not seem template and inanimate. Surprisingly, everyone likes Eva Bart, and Jacob Stone, and Cassandra Killian, and Ezequiel Jones, and Jenkins ... and, without him, Flynn Carson. They are all interesting, all good people (no matter how the thief Ezekiel tried to pretend to be a bad guy who does not care about everything but entertainment), all “more inside than outside” – develop, mature, show themselves on the other side and have managed to become relatives in two seasons. A good fantasy of the writers makes you watch their adventures, without stopping. You can say a lot, but it’s better:
Dad, who are these people?
- Librarians, honey.
- Librarians? . .
- Well, if you say it out loud, then complete nonsense comes out.
- How do you know all this? I'm a librarian!
and
- Believe me, I'm the Doctor!
Have you noticed anything in common?
It's really Doctor Who from magic and history. For those who love traveling in the TARDIS, but a little tired of the aliens and too heaped plot of the last three seasons.
The movies, despite my huge sympathy for Noah Wylie, I watched yawning. The special effects were mediocre, reminiscent of a very cheap version of the adventures of Indiana Jones.
The series has a lot more to offer.
Let's take a look at the characters.
Flynn Carson (Noah Wylie) is a slightly absent-minded and unadapted encyclopedist with a lot of diplomas, cute Jewish face and habits, which reminded me of Doctor Who (a hybrid of David Tennant (10th) and Matt Smith (11th)). Eternally gets stuck in history, loses thought, talks incessantly and heroically, almost without effort, gets out of all kinds of problems, at the same time saving the world from villains trying to take magic into their hands. Plan? What's the plan? What do you mean? Forward to adventure!
Eve Baird (Rebecca Romin) is the first Guardian chosen by the Library after a seven-year hiatus. A beautiful blonde, a NATO colonel, a fighter against terrorism, the Guardian not only of the Librarian, but also of common sense in this whole story.
Cassandra Killian (Lindy Booth) is a red-haired clever, synesthetic, techie. A tumor in her brain allows her to solve complex math problems in seconds. Kind, a little ridiculous.
Ezekiel Jones (John Kim) is a genius of the underworld. A half-blooded Asian, security specialist who believes he can steal anything he can decorate. A narcissistic, charming egotist who maintains the image of a bad guy.
Jake Stone (Christian Kane) is a specialist in history, art, archaeology, architecture, a person with an IQ of 190, the author of a mass of publications, who successfully mows under a dull cowboy. However, he really is a simple man - he likes to sit in a bar, drink a beer, get involved in a fight. Without going into details, my favorite character and almost the man of dreams.
Sir Jenkins (John Larrockett) - you can't say anything about him without a pair of spoilers, you better just watch. But he's charming!
You can't tell the story. But for such a lover of mysteries, mysteries and just a historian like me, this is a series about a dream job.
Verdict: Watch. All lovers of adventure, Doctor Who, history, magic, urban fantasy, the eternal struggle between good and evil.
Warehouse 13, with which it is often compared, is worse. Humor is less, and the characters are not so cute.
Despite the presence of unknown actors so special effects and naivety, the series turned out very good, it is worth noting the second season richer and more interesting than the first.
The plot is simple: There is a magic library and a librarian. A librarian is a mind, and a bodyguard is needed. Which the library chooses. Her choice falls on a counterterrorism agent, Eve Baird (Rebecca Romin). Eve herself at first in a kind of shock from magic and arrogant narcissistic librarian Flynn Carson performed by Noah Wylie. However, more and they are joined by three more young geniuses who also need protection.
They have to protect not only the artifacts found and stored, but also the library itself from constant invasion.
The second season is stronger than the first.
In general, a great light series about magic and adventure!

If you, like me, are not indifferent to funny adventure series, riddles and archaeological stories, then be sure to watch "Libraries".
This series is a logical continuation of the Librarian Flynn Carson trilogy, and I really liked how smoothly and gracefully the authors moved the action from films to the series and introduced new characters.
Preserved and reckless-adventurous, with a considerable amount of humor, the spirit of the franchise, so it is not surprising that the images of new characters are also a little ... frivolous. It’s certainly interesting.
Which of the characters is the central character is difficult to say. I think we should introduce them first.
So...
How do you know all this? I'm a librarian.
Flynn Carson (Noah Wylie) is Chief Librarian. A charming and slightly absent-minded encyclopedist, for whom saving the world is a completely ordinary thing, well, like eating breakfast in the morning. True, in the process of accomplishing feats, he regularly gets into trouble, but always gets out of them with brilliance.
Only you could lose the Guardian. Librarians have already disappeared, they are dispersed like napkins, but ... to the Guardian ... (Jenkins)
Three interns-librarians:
Jake Stone (Christian Kane) is a historian, architect and art critic who brilliantly pretends to be a short-sighted cowboy thug. Loves all kinds of art, beer and fights.
Cassandra Killian (Lindy Booth) is a fragile and impressionable red-haired girl. Because of the tumor in the brain is able to produce complex mathematical calculations.
Ezekiel Jones (John Kim) is a brilliant thief who can open any lock (at least he thinks so). Bad and lucky, not doubting his coolness.
. I must say, I'm impressed. Some Guardians lost their Librarians, but three in the same day never. Your record won't be broken anytime soon. (Jenkins)
Yves Baird (Rebecca Romin) - "foolishness" of the images of other heroes more than fills Eve. Oh, that lady is as serious as a tank. After all, she's the Guardian. In the recent past, Eve Baird is a colonel in NATO’s counterterrorism unit. Tall lady terminator. Of course, the Librarians win with their knowledge, but Colonel Baird makes sure that the evil of the world does not sneak up and slap the enthusiastic scientists from the rear.
Who are you? Me? Jenkins, of course.
John Larrockett - Oh, Sir Jenkins, you'll like it, yes!
Now, back to the question of the central character... He's gone. The main characters are Eve, Jake, Ezekiel and Cassie, who solve various cases together. Flynn is involved in about half of the series, in the most important investigations.
So, if in the films the main and universal hero was Flynn Carson, then in the series the characters already have a specialization, everyone is responsible for their “precinct”. Again, if Carson was fighting villains who were hunting for dangerous artifacts, the new Librarians solve more mundane problems. Villains who dream of capturing the world are plot "arches" that unite the season. And in the meantime, our heroes investigate and just different inexplicable cases.
How would you like to be in a fairy tale? Shake Shakespeare's hand? Meet a fairy, and where - at a scientific exhibition? Ride in a house of horrors from Nevada to Slovakia? To prevent a deal with the devil? And fight with the revived ancient Greek myth? Prove that there are no aliens? Ah... missing UFOlogist? What about the missing ufologist? Does anyone count them? No, the dragon didn't eat it. They prefer jasmine tea.
Interesting investigations, charismatic villains, funny and exciting adventures – there is a lot of humor, but there are also dramatic notes. So don’t think the happy ending is guaranteed for everyone.
But the world will be saved. Yeah. Again! And on Fridays twice.
"Do you know what's behind that door?" Eva Baird, the keeper.
New adventures, new stories, new librarians.
After watching the third part of the librarian in 2009, I was waiting for a sequel ... which didn't follow. But it was the end of 2014 and finally the series was released on one of my favorite franchises. Many people, seeing the title of the series, can say “what is F. N.?” It is about the adventures of the librarian in the library?? lol, etc. I assure you not.
So, who are librarians? Librarians are people searching for magical artifacts all over the earth, preventing them from reaching people with impure thoughts and even evil characters like Prospero in Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Moriarty, which many already know. What does it have to do with the library? The library is a room with a large number of rooms where magical artifacts (excalibur, Shakespeare's pen, magical book of fairy tales, etc.) are stored, existing in several dimensions at the same time.
The series is a continuation of the trilogy. In addition to the actors, who perfectly played their characters, Noah Wylie returned as the charismatic Flynn Carson, the main and never despondent librarian.
From the first series, we are introduced to new recruits: Eva Baird (Rebecca Romaine; mystic in the first three parts of the X-Men) - a colonel of the counterterrorism squad with all of this ensuing; Jacob Stone (Christian Kane; films: shelter, keep your distance) is a historian with several degrees in history and architecture, writing under several pseudonyms various critical articles and books about European and American culture, simultaneously working on an oil rig (already an interesting character); Ezekiel Jones (John Kim) is a thief for whom such activity is not only a job, but also a hobby. There are no locks he can open. There is no room in which it will not enter. Cassandra Silian (Lindy Booth; movies: behind the wall, kick-ass 2) is a synesthetic with a tumor in her brain that will sooner or later kill her, but before that, allows Cassandra to perform complex mathematical calculations in her mind in a matter of seconds. There are a number of other characters that I would like to talk about (like Jenkins), but then you will have to drip deeper and without spoilers will not do.
Our librarians, as I said, are looking for magical artifacts.
As a rule, what kind of artifact is initially unknown and only occasionally the opposite. In the first case, there are only assumptions about how it looks (or should look), which significantly complicates its search and because of what our heroes often get into interesting and, let’s say, delicate situations. Just imagine that you have to find an unknown-looking artifact in the superbly guarded Buckingham Palace. This is the most common example provided in the series. In the second case, the type of artifact is known, its properties are known, but the owner of this artifact also knows its properties, skillfully uses them. In general, screenwriters come up with and play out individual plot moments just fine (or just so it seems to me from my fan bell tower). And together with an excellent soundtrack, the series turns out to be just a great way to spend time in the evening, and even better with the family.
Neither Lara nor Jones.
Alas, even a fan will notice that everything is not smooth here. I'm talking about special effects. There are not many of them here, and you can feel their low budget.
It doesn’t have the budget of the Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones, and fortunately it doesn’t have the seriousness and historical confusion and absurdity of National Treasure. But it's not worth fixating on. The main thing in the series is not special effects and not even the characters themselves, about the personal experiences of which there is no question at all. What matters is the spirit of adventure. Adventures are not straining with their seriousness, perceived easily and involving the viewer in the world of dangerous and captivating magic.
***
This is an easy adventure series, with albeit not in detail, but still good (for this series) prescribed characters, pleasant soundtrack and unexpected turns occurring at the perfect moment. I recommend not to pass by, and fans of adventure and absolutely must.
Do you know what's behind that door?
- "No, and that's beautiful." Flynn Carson, librarian
I've never been into adventure, but I'm fed up with the violence and gloom in other movies and TV shows, so I'm always looking for something kind, fun and positive. The beginning of the first series seemed wild with its naivety, but then ceased to feel it, it seems everything became measurable, and the plot developed quickly enough, so I was able to immerse myself completely and fully enjoy watching.
Crazy liked all the main characters, each has its own highlight, especially one charming in the literal and figurative sense. And if after watching the series I began to yearn for the characters, for me this is an important sign that the series is really worthy. After that, I watched the original trilogy, but it caused less impressions.

I’ve always loved movies and adventures. That's exactly what this series is. It is light, interesting, looks really in one breath.
There is no need to judge the performance of the actors (which is very good), or whether there are any blunders, you just need to watch! Visual effects (of which there are not many, and not few), the plot (which is very exciting and dynamic) and the actors (which are selected very successfully) do their job. The whole series looks very, very good.
This is no less successful continuation of an exciting trilogy, so

I came across this series quite by accident. "Libraries" - the title immediately gave a number of nostalgic memories of the good old comedy trilogy. Well, I went online looking for information on the show, especially since I heard about the presence of my beloved Bruce Campbell. Fantastic surprise came when the list of actors was found Noah Wyle, and even in the role of Flynn Carson!
Being intrigued, I immediately moved on to watching. So it is - this series is a direct continuation of the trilogy "Library", where we again meet the tireless nerd Flynn Carson, his good old friends - Judson (Bob Newhart), Charlene (Jane Curtin) and Excalibur, as well as enemies from the first part of the film - Snake Brotherhood. In the first series, we get acquainted with new characters - Colonel of the NATO counterterrorism squad Eva Baird (Rebekah Romin) and three young librarians who became Carson's successors - Jacob Stone (Christian Kane), Cassandra Killian (Lindy Booth), Ezekiel Jones (John Kim).
The acting game is not extreme, but it is well worked out and it is pleasant to watch. The plot is dynamic, devoid of acute pretentiousness, moderately intelligent, moderately naive. The series adopted the stupidity and parody of the original, which is happening and is not trying to be serious. In any case, adventure lovers should pay attention to this series - it has preserved the spirit of sloppy and cute parody of Indiana Jones, this creation looks in one breath. By the way, in another review of “Libraries” it was said that the series is the ideological successor of “Storage 13”. I will hasten to disagree with this statement, because the original film “The Librarian” with Noah Wyle in the title role was released in 2004, 5 years before the creation of “Storage 13”, that is, the situation is completely reversed.
It is a rare case when you want to write a review immediately after watching the first series.
And I will not intentionally describe the actors’ performance, the level of visual effects and other technical details, suffice it to say that they are at a normal serial level. The only thing I really want to say is, “The Librarians – Warehouse 13 is back.” But stop is a separate series, nothing in common from the point of view of the fictional universe, but why then the beginning of the first series almost repeats the first series of the Warehouse, why the design of the Library and even under what plans make its panoramas so similar to Warehouse 13. And the characters of the types are also somewhat similar, at least those who were shown in the first episode.
So I think what to call it, spinoff is clearly not suitable because a completely different universe like, the remake is also not suitable because the characters and plots are still new, plagiarism and clone are too rude. As a result, I come to the conclusion that this creation should be called a “redesign” from Warehouse 13, and this is probably inaccurate.
Of course, the level of style of the surroundings and characters is inferior to the closed project of Jane Espenson, but for those who really lack this show, the series “Libraries” can be a kind of consolation.
And I expected that it would be something in the style of the films “National Treasure” and “The Da Vinci Code”.
