Warehouse 13

TUBE!

Warehouse 13 is a Syfy channel original series.


After saving the life of the President in Washington D.C., a pair of Secret Service agents are whisked away against their will to a remote location in South Dakota to a warehouse that houses supernatural objects that the Regents, an authority above an outside any government, have collected over the centuries. Their assignment: To retrieve and secure any lost objects and investigate reports of new ones.

The agents, the male played by Eddie McClintock, and the female played by Joanne Kelly are fun, but still, demonstrate the limited budget of this show. Saul Rubinek as their boss and curator of the warehouse museum, is a veteran, but really, this is not his best work.....

The stories every episode revolve around the agents seeking out and securing for the Warehouse an artifact that is causing mystical mayhem. The US government's philosophy is, that if we can't explain it, let us warehouse it until we can.

This show has a very "X-Files" feel to it, and honestly I only saw one episode of the X-Files, but worms coming out of a guy's mouth left me cold. Still, I am betting my wife will really love this show. It's mystical, and just creepy enough to hold the interest of folks who like this kind of stuff.

So for me, I feel I cannot judge. My wife I truly believe is going to love this. But this just isn't my genre. Does that make it bad? Not necessarily. I wish the budget allowed for more dynamic actors, sure, okay. But these folks are doing the best they can.

So if you liked "The X-Files",  give this a try.  But based on the limited abilities of the actors and the sometimes convoluted scripts, I cannot give this a good grade.

Grade: B-
and I think that's generous. But that's just me.

My wife might give it an A.

Side Note: My wife didn't like it. She watched a couple episodes and went to other things. So, I think I was being waaaaayyyy generous.
