TV show description:
From creators Matt Federman and Stephen Scaia, the Blood & Treasure TV show is a globe-trotting action-adventure series. The drama centers on an antiquities expert and an art thief who join forces to trap a terrorist.
A former FBI agent, Danny McNamara (Barr) has a vast store of knowledge regarding stolen antiquities and works of art. Art thief Lexi Vaziri (Pernas) blames him for the tragedy that took her father. When terrorist Karim Farouk (Fehr) steals an artifact and kidnaps Danny’s mentor, Dr. Ana Castillo (Coppola), Danny seeks Lexi’s assistance to save Ana and bring in Farouk.
Their path is littered with questionable characters who could either help or harm their cause. For instance, arms dealer Aiden Shaw (Shaw) is only interested in that which benefits his sole cause — himself. Likewise, shady Simon Hardwick (Callis) has worked hard to hone his expertise in acquiring artifacts of assailable provenance.
On the other hand, Danny’s lifelong friend Father Chuck (Gagliardi) works at the Vatican Foreign Ministry. Meanwhile, Interpol agent Gwen Karlsson (Winter) also wants Farouk brought to justice, but she’s a stickler for international law, which makes things trickier for Lexi and Danny.
As they travel the world, hot on the tail of their target, Danny and Lexi become embroiled in an ancient conflict concerning the cradle of civilization.
Series Finale:
Episode #26 — Showdown in Hong Kong
Realizing they’ve taken the Kahn’s bait – and putting the lives of millions in jeopardy – Danny and Lexi come face-to-face with the Kahn in one final battle above Hong Kong.
First aired: October 2, 2022.
What do you think? Do you like the Blood & Treasure TV series? Should this Paramount+ TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
LOVE THIS!!
Blood and Treasure is Awesome can’t wait for the season 2
This was a dreadfully written series; Scooby Doo without the animation. The actors were gorgeous and the locations seemed real enough, but even with plausibility suspended, the story line defied credibility and the acting was at the high school level.
I LOVE Blood and Treasure!!
Definitely renew. Greta plot!
I’ve enjoyed this series so far! Beautiful scenery, interesting characters and plot, with non-stop action and entertainment! It would be a shame to cancel this show…
Blood and Treasure was such an excellent summer time escape. Great actors, interesting intrigue, enjoyable story telling, excitement and action, and everything necessary for enjoyable adventures. Just watched the last episode and I am going to miss it. Loved the son-father twist in it. LOVED it! Hope it returns next summer!!!! Thanks for the journey!
Not Shakespeare, but entertaining and I enjoy the pace of the show.
i like it, but not as much as The Code. The only draw back is that it reminds me of the TV series “The Fugitive”…the search for the one armed man. Each adventure should last a maximum of three weeks. After that, start a new adventure. We all know that Farouk will get away from them each week until the series is over.
It’s really good series… I hope it makes the cut. My wife and I are really enjoying it
Great action packed show. Casting for actor’s parts is perfect. The Catholic priest plays a “real” person with childhood friends.
LOVE THE FIRST SHOW!!! What an exciting series and brilliant cast. Good writing. Can’t wait to see more.
Definitely enjoyed. A light soufflé of a show – perfect for summer.
