DAN BROWN’S THE LOST SYMBOL - “Pilot” Episode 101 - Pictured: (l-r) Ashley Zukerman as Robert Langdon, Eddie Izzard as Peter Solomon - (Photo by: Rafy/Peacock) They’re very jarring happening all of a sudden.
One thing that is not working in the series’ benefit is the flashbacks to Langdon hanging out with the Solomon family. Related The Lost Symbol Review: Noögenesis (Season 1 Episode 7) Hopefully, Katherine is able to fill Nunez’s role as she heads off with Langdon because Nunez represents all of us - the people who know nothing about symbols. Nunez also balances out Langdon and Agent Sato, who can be far too serious and in their heads as they try to figure out the clues. He’s definitely my favorite out of the characters we meet during “As Above, So Below,” and that’s because I’m a sucker for the characters who provide most of the comic relief. Unfortunately, Nunez doesn’t set off to solve mysteries with Langdon at the end. She’ll keep him from getting too inside his head, and I’m curious to see more of their present-day dynamic. Katherine tagging along will give Langdon someone to bounce ideas off of or at least explain what he’s doing (for our benefit).

If you’ve read the books and/or seen the movies, then you don’t need much convincing to like Robert Langdon.Īshley Zukerman manages to not make Langdon seem too intelligent or aloof that Langdon’s unlikeable you’re instantly captivated by him.

#THE LOST SYMBOL SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 SERIES#
“As Above, So Below” sets the series off on the right track.Īs far as pilots go, The Lost SymbolSeason 1 Episode 1 manages to hook us immediately with this mystery - it’s hard not to when it involves a severed hand - and introduces us to some great characters. If The Lost Symbol plays it right, the series will capture the same delight that the books did, as we tag along with Langdon as he solves this mystery. Odds are we will be able to put more of the pieces together when it comes to decoding the mystery of why the CIA and Agent Sato are involved, and how Zachary fits into things. DAN BROWN’S THE LOST SYMBOL - “Pilot” Episode 101 - Pictured: (l-r) Sumalee Montano as Agent Sato, Ashley Zukerman as Robert Langdon, Rick Gonzalez as Nunez - (Photo by: Rafy/Peacock) There’s nothing worse than feeling dumb and/or lost while someone apparently made a huge breakthrough. One thing the series will have to watch out for is making sure we are able to follow along and not get too lost while trying to understand what Langdon has decoded. It’s doubtful that we will actually be able to solve any of the coded messages/puzzles - unless you also studied symbols like Robert Langdon - but we get to watch Langdon put all the pieces together, which is still fascinating. Dan Brown’s The Lost SymbolSeason 1 Episode 1, “As Above, So Below,” takes us on a mysterious quest, with lots of riddles and puzzles to solve along the way.
