Warehouse 13

[Eric H]

Okay, took me a while to get into this show, I couldn't really decide if I liked it or not, I decided I do like it a lot actually.

The premise of the show is that certain historical objects have an imbued power that can be dangerous in the wrong hands, (a jar from the Donner Party for example causes people to freeze to death and crave flesh, human or otherwise) the agents job is to track those objects down and secure them in a secret warehouse.
It's far more fiction than science and it seemed a little goofy at first but eventually I realized they were doing it somewhat tongue in cheek and if you accept it on that level and just enjoy it then it's a lot of fun.
It's not Fringe or the X-Files but it certainly plays homage to those shows and many others and the characters are likeable.

It also gives exposure to historical figures like Nikola Tesla and Philo Farnsworth, even if the details are a bit um, far fetched, it also feature H.G. Wells, alive and living in the 21st century!

I've been watching it on Amazon Prime for free but only the first three seasons were free so I ordered the season 4 box set from eBay.
