Well, it got a little better, but not a lot. We’re three episodes into Warehouse 13 – aka The X-Files meets Raiders of the Lost Ark meets Friday The 13th: The Series – and nothing very remarkable has happened. The characters are gelling a bit better than in the first episode, and there’s a slightly interesting arc around a possible warehouse break-in, but the plots are very so-so, the dialogue is only average and everything, of course, ends nicely by the end of the episode.
If you like shows like Eureka, you’ll probably like this, but if you’re looking for something more challenging, you’re going to have to look elsewhere.
Carusometer rating: 3
Rob’s prediction: Will probably last as long as Eureka, but really shouldn’t

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
