It is the best of curl up and grab some popcorn TV viewing, and something I’d make plans around to catch it when it airs. Go to Full Review
Diana Keng Geek Girl Authority Jul 5, 2025
Without exaggeration, it’s a joyful and exciting return to a world where magic and magical entities pose a danger to the world, only to be defeated by the Library team’s super resourcefulness and powers of research. Age of the geek, indeed. Go to Full Review

The show knows exactly what it is: a low-stakes adventure series with heart and humor, and just enough nostalgia on offer to keep longtime fans invested. Go to Full Review

Star Heart P @starheartpack Sep 12, 2026 Amazing start to a new show in The Librarians franchise! Each of the 4 core characters, as well as the annex caretaker, are unique and interesting. It's so easy to become attached to each and every one of them. Lysa is similar to Cassandra from the original The Librarians series, but with plenty that is new about her and compelling. Connor's path to The Library is interesting and at times heartbreaking. Vikram is a man out of time and the actor plays that so well. Charlie was born to be a Guardian and that's very evident. From the start the team chemistry between these 4 is strong and makes you want to see more. Elaine is also wonderful as the caretaker, and so much more than she seems to be. Jacob Stone, from the original series, is featured a couple times, and he's fun for sure, but it's clear he's not needed to carry this show. These new characters do that easily on their own. See more Nancy J @RT89767366 Aug 28, 2026 I have to say this is my least favorite Librarian series. I don't feel that the cast meshs as well as in the other past series. The actors I miss and were hoping to see were John Larroquette, Rebecca Romijn, Noah Wyle, Lindy Booth, Christian Kane and Jon Kim. The one that is great to see in this new series is Dominic Monaghan. Because of Dominic, I might continue to watch. See more Daisy C @Daisy1722 Aug 8, 2026 They are picking up the Arthurian strings from the OG show and continuing to run with them. Dominic Monaghan is guesting in as Merlin. While I'm not having quite as much fun as with the original show, it's growing on me. See more Blue T @NK2011 Mar 8, 2026 There has been many cringe shots in this series that at times make me want to roll my eyes. But it is watchable. See more Daniel C @RT74973898 Jan 30, 2026 Not as good as the original wich im a fan, you can blame it on Charlie though she's not a great actress.. See more Luntay E. @tayxlz6 Jan 5, 2026 Best iteration of modern librarians and historians absolutely love this series💯💯💯🤩❤️❤️❤️ See more Read all reviews
