The episode flowed well, and was both entertaining and interesting. The “Big Bad” is Mal’ahk, we don’t know much about him yet, or what his motives are, but we do know that he is strong and covered from head to toe in tattoos. The stakes are higher, as a loved one’s life is at stake. This adds a more personal dimension to the story. In exposition we learn that he had a very close relationship with Peter, and it is hinted at, that Robert’s childhood may not have been a happy one and the family he found with Peter and Katherine, was something he had never experienced. He also has the ability to connect the dots between the modern world and the riddles hidden inside symbols. Even if you aren’t a fan of the movies or the books, you still get a sense that Robert Langdon is a very intelligent young man and that his brain holds vast knowledge about symbols and their meanings. Told in a series of real time events and flashbacks, we are given enough information to grasp what is happening. I am very excited to see how this show progresses. Oddly enough, I had no idea there was a television series, so I am a bit “late to the party” in reviewing this show (mea culpa). I also liked the movies the accompanied the books. I enjoyed reading The DiVinci Code, but have not read The Lost Symbol. Characters who use their wits to work out puzzles that open doors to more riddles, usually with some humor and adventure thrown in. He must work with Katherine to follow the clues and decipher the riddles that will lead him to the prize and Peter’s safety.

Peter is also the father of his ex-love interest, Katherine (Valorie Curry). Robert’s mentor, Peter Solomon (Eddie Izzard), is kidnapped and being held for ransom by a mysterious cabal lead by Mal’akh (Beau Knapp). Taking the role that multiple Oscar winner Tom Hanks played, is Ashley Zukerman.
