So I remember watching the first Librarian movie. Not sure if I ever finished the whole movie or not. I do recall enjoying its subtle cheesiness humor amongst historical points. So I decided to give this a shot.
Beginning of the first season was rough. The cheesiness was dry at best, but gets better per episode. Christian Kane's role relentlessly goes right on the verge of "Damn it Hardison!" just as he snaps out of it, like trying to break the a behavioral tick of some sorts. You almost expect him to say "it's got a very distinct..." at times. Yet his character, while mostly the same tough guy Elliot role he played in Leverage, is always refreshed in his genius moments.
Rebecca RoRomijn on the other hand takes quite some time to get use to. Her first fight seen makes you stop and think, "She was a bad ass in X-Men, this is the best she can do?!" But reminded of what this show is, you learn to let it go. Still, she just doesn't seem to pull off the military Colonel background that well. It just doesn't fit her.
Anyhow, I love the stories. I love the historical references, just wish they would be a little more "simpler" when explaining the historical value of their dilemmas at hand. There's good, clean humor and lots of actors and actresses that are well known. I just started the second season and things seem a little more serious and structured to a continuous plot. I am definitely hooked.
