Yeah, Nicolas Cage is not here (at least not for know, who knows if there'll be a cameo or not). And yeah, if I were to change the identity of the person who gave Jess the first clue as well as the soundtrack, this (at least for now) could be titled anything else but National Treasure, and maybe then I wouldn't have watched it. You never know.
But it is titled after the National Treasure name, it comes with a light edition of the known soundtrack and it does bring that character back. So what?
I'm not gonna give a full series review until the season is finished (idk how people can rate a show based on 2 episodes), but the pilot is pretty decent. It has some weak points (where are Jess' tremendous knowledge and puzzle-solving habilities coming from besides genetics being less more than a teenager herself? How convenient it is that she works for the place where all that stuff is hidden and that she happens to randomly see one particular item just before almost throwing it away? How did she know the place in the picture so easily if it's that exclusive and hard to walk in? Just to name a few).
Still... We'll see how the story goes, so far so good. The main plot seem as interesting as a classic "run against the villain to find all the artifacts in order to find the treasure" formula and, I gotta say it, Zeta-Jones looks surprisingly good in the evil side of the tale.
We'll see how this goes.
