I decided to give "The Last Templar" a go, even though it feels like a "DaVinci Code" ripoff. The DaVinci Code novel was passable, but not great, so the idea of ripping that off seemed...silly. But still, I thought I'd give the mini-series a try. Who knows, maybe I'd even read the book if the mini-series was good.
I managed exactly six minutes and thirty seconds.
I knew that the jig might be up when I saw the four guys on horseback, dressed like crusaders no less, in modern day New York. Then I thought "hmm...maybe this could be okay" when they decapitated the cop outside the museum they came to rob. But when all four horses came back out and not one cop fired a shot, despite their headless friend on the ground...
The kicker was the heroine, played by Mira Sorvino, taking a lance from the exhibit, commandeering a horse and giving chase...in a frilly knee length cocktail dress and six inch heels.
I'm sorry, but that's where I have to bail. Possibly the dumbest thing I've seen on television, ever.

SO agree with you. My husband and I lasted about the time she hit the park on the horse. Then you know what? Life is too short for crap like this show... we actually turned off the tv and read.
