    Relic Hunter is about a sexy University History Professor, Sydney Fox, and her charming teaching assistant, Nigel Bailey as they hunt for ancient artifacts all around the world. Sydney Fox is a brilliant Hawaiian who loved to travel with her father while he was on business. Her love for travelling, combined with her love for the past introduced her to relic hunts all over the world. The places she travelled to range from Boston to China and everywhere in between. In the pilot, she is joined by Nigel who has absolutely no idea what's going on when she drags him to Nepal to find Buddha's Bowl. He learns quickly enough and by the time we get to the third season, he is experienced and more knowledgeable, and is able to get them out of and into many situations as skillfully as Sydney. Sydney quickly comes to trust him and the two become best friends, knowing that they would do anything for each other. This show is full of action, adventure, romance, heroism, and fun. All-in-all, it is a great show.moreless

    I thought that this was a boring show. It was kind of a rip off of Tomb Raider. But anyways, the show was slo and very much unoriginal. The acting was okay, but the storylines were bland and the concept of the show was often tiring. The one thing I actually liked was the action, which often was not even shown most of the time. That was the only entertaining part I liked. Overall, this was a below average show in which I had no interest in because of the way it was produced. I felt like I could miss it and not feel bad. Thank you.moreless

    I needed to watch several episodes of this show to decide its qualities and I'm glad I waited as my initial response was not a favourable one.It takes a while to buy Tia Carrere as adventuress extraordinaire Sidney Fox but it did not take long for this beautiful and talented actress to make the role her own and she has superb chemistry with her excellent foil Christien Anholt who brings much of a Hugh Grant type persona to his part as the hapless Nigel.Their globe-trotting adventures are the stuff of 30's serials and are highly derivative but handled in a never over-played tongue in cheek fashion which makes the series ever more enjoyable as it progresses.The person,however,who pointed out that the episodes all climax in the same fashion has hit the nail on the head as our heroes are always held at gunpoint in a cave or suchlike every week and always escape in the same fashion.This is something that needs to be addressed if the show is to achieve syndication worthy longevity.All in all though RELIC HUNTER is a welcome addition to the TV action adventure genre.moreless

  • Not as bad as its somewhat cheesy delivery would have you believe.

    RH ran for three seasons, and though flawed, was quite attractive with a charismatic leading lady. I did enjoy this series, although it was quite simplistic and easily suitable for a preteen market; wherein did lie one of its obvious problems. RH's plots were fairly simplistic, and occasionally improbable. The wide ranging arc of knowledge required for all Sydney's trips seemed a little too pat. Syd was practically an expert in everything, and if she didn't automatically have the answer on the tip of her tongue, then her sidekick Nigel ably stepped into the breach. I found the neatly parceled endings to every story a little irritating. Archaeology is not an absolute science. It is a voyage of discovery, and I felt that was played down rather too much.

    My other criticism would be the formula. Nasty villain, comedy crook, pitted against Sydney and Nigel, with the occasional good guy thrown in.

    The good side, this is a good starter show for those who are curious about the world around them. As Raiders of the Lost Ark inspired my love of archaeology over quarter of a century ago, this series raised an indulgent smile. I was on familiar territory.moreless
