Had they done a movie, or series another streaming platform it could have been good. I wish this one hadn’t gotten burned by going up on NBC… See more Charles T 08/07/2024 We've seen A listers portray a Dan Brown script. See more John L 06/18/2024 Fills the gap in the three feature films adapted from Brown's novels. It was originally intended to be the third feature film, but was shelved to make Inferno. Having seen the series, I'm wishing it had been made as the third or fourth feature film with Tom Hanks as Langdon. As with many U.S. TV mini-series it suffers from pacing, dialog and some of its acting talent. Ashley Zukerman was not a good choice for Robert Langdon, which is sad for the principal lead role. His performance was stiff and stilted. Valorie Curry was OK as Katherine Solomon, as were most of other principals. By contrast, the three feature films are tautly executed with excellent pacing. Production Design with sets, props and costuming is much better than most TV productions. The novel is quite good and sold exceptionally well. This adaptation deviates considerably from the novel retaining not much beyond principal characters and its concept. It's bloated with an extreme romantic tension between Langdon and Solomon's daughter, Katherine, taking numerous lengthy detours into their relationship that are unnecessary to the plot. It could have been made in half the runtime, but as with most TV mini-series, it needed to fill ten ~45 minute episodes. Pacing varies wildly as it needs to arrive at suspense point at the end of each episode to hook the viewer into wanting to see the next one. Another flaw in most TV mini-series. In conclusion, it would have been much better if made as a feature film similar to the other three adaptations, and not a TV mini-series. See more Read all reviews
