I watched this as I wanted to get into The Lost Tomb franchise and start from the beginning. I haven't seen any of the other shows yet, but I understand they are generally longer (by episode count). I did appreciate that this season was only 10 episodes, easy to get through and well-paced.

The characters are good - even Chastity, who some other reviewers criticized. I felt the acting was good, and every character had a purpose (comic value or intrigue).

The production values and OST were just okay, nothing special there in my opinion.

The story was mostly interesting, and surprisingly varied for a 10 episode show (including story sections in the tomb as well as outside it, as well as a pretty long sequence set in historical China). However the series was majorly let down by some weird plot issues - basically stuff which happened and was never explained. I'm sure there are some things that will be explained in future series, but others that I'm pretty sure won't be. For example, early in the series the characters travel through a water tunnel to get to a village and barely make it through alive, but when they get to that village they have electricity, food etc. Which begs the question how can they have all the modern conveniences if they are so cut off from the rest of the world. This is never explained. There are multiple other examples of this.

Overall it was worth watching to get an introduction to The Lost Tomb franchise, and it was mostly good (especially the last couple of episodes) but plot issues led to me feeling a bit frustrated by it.
