The Philanthropist

It was not that bad... did not expect much from it but I was surprised! Not bad for a summer filler!

Not at all my usual cup of tea, but I really liked it. Brilliant

I guess the "rash" part is what I liked about it. It touches upon serious issues without being too serious about it... so far. Only two eps under the belt, so who knows where it'll go, but still. Formwise it sort of brings Burn Notice to mind. Another show I love because it's a bit less serious than other shows in its genre - although they don't really do serious issues at all...

It's slightly Indiana Jonesesque.

I liked the first episode better than the second, though. If they're going to come up with an excuse to tell a new story for each episode then I suspect that part of the writing will be harder than the storyline. It already seemed a bit strained in ep 2. That part needs to go, or at least change shape, somehow.
