The Freemason element almost feels like a McGuffin to allow yet another bunch of bland American actors to say lots of hackneyed American things, run around speaking in urgent half-whispers, and generally take themselves far too seriously. Heavy on the CIA involvement, light on the symbology - ugh. I'm giving up half way through Episode 3.
Pity. I enjoyed the films, silly though they were, and I had high hopes for the excellent Eddie Izzard's involvement - but, surprise surprise, in this cookie-cutter drama he's woefully underemployed.
I'd like to think that it gets less formulaic and more interesting, but I for one won't be hanging around to find out.
