Don't listen to the negative reviews

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This series is very interesting in a few ways. When you watch it for the first time things such as poor acting, 'B-grade' and incorrect casting come to mind.But if you watch it a few times and get a feel for the series and what it's looking at the stories start to become more important.The subject matter being religion, philosophy and conspiracies are controversial topics in themselves and the fact I mention it is bound to bring negative comments. The reason for this is religion and philosophy aren't commonly understood and conspiracy theorists often are less then sane of mind hence they are un-trusted. Yet this is a series that has enough truth to be believable yet does twist reality as all well written series are leaving a more believable scenario then unbelievable.I do agree on the comments regarding the characters being stereotypical made in another comment and there could be a little more originality there however the mysterious character of Vincent does tend to make it more palatable.Overall it's a good series if you like stories. If you watch programmes for acting then this is not the series for you but if you watch programmes for the stories then this is an excellent series - just get past the first few episodes and it wouldn't hurt to look into the main religious beliefs a little, the pyramids, mainstream philosophy and inventions circa 1400AD-1600AD.It also helps to know what the word Veritas means - it's Latin for 'truth', so the title 'Veritas: the quest' makes a little more sense, 'Truth: the quest'

How sad! Just when the network creates a show that I can watch together with my teenagers they cancel it because what: It does not have enough language, not enough sex appeal? Maybe it's time for a station to take a chance and give the American public some shows that we can watch with our children. Take the chance that we are not all tuning in for sex and violence. Just the opinion of a mother who hopes that our future in America is not to be ruled by sex and violence. Don't get me wrong I enjoy a good drama packed with a little more occasionally. I just don't understand why the stations feel that is all we want. What is wrong with a little "wholesome" entertainment?

I had my suspicions and doubts when I saw that the writers from "Schlock Raider: Flaunt Angelina Jolie's Mountains" were behind this series. After enduring the first two episodes painfully, my fears were clearly, without a doubt, warranted. All characters in the show are cliches. Yes. You heard me. Each and every one of them; generic, stereotypcial cliches. You could debate whether they are truly characters, or just blocks of wood regurgitating whatever crayon-written dribble the writers had for them but in anycase... badly drawn up and acted characters also equal to a comical storyline.
The Zonds are a family of adventurers (except for the reluctant rebel teenage son of course) and they prance around the world with their crew of Indiana Jones misfits to hunt for lost treasure. Oh yes, there's also a secret U.S. government faction that is closely monitoring and getting in the way of their work. Somewhere along the way, the wife bites it. The son blames dad and so on and so forth. Predictable stuff. Even though this could spawn a decent enough character building subplot, the show does a horrible job handling it. Now the supporting cast... wait there's none to speak of. Arnold Vosloo is relegated to the mystical zen master role (hilarious) with about 3 lines of ridiculous dialogue per episode. The one with the beard plays the usual geek and comedy relief. The girl screams cliche. I can't figure how they managed to pick one of the absolute worst actors for the lead role, and the whining kid is just plain annoying. He either whines about how his life sucks and his dad sucks, or he somehow bails out the entire crew with his amazing deus ex machina powers. Does that justify for him being in the series?
Veritas is a mistake, unlike its other sister-show Miracles which features far better acting and writing. ABC should be lucky they also debuted Dragnet this season to counter this monstrosity.

The premiere was not very impressive. The characters were rather flat and stereotypical, and the acting from all parties was merely so-so. The basic plotline of racing to find archaeological relics or ruins with modern day powers has been done to death: Indiana Jones, Atlantis, The Mummy, Relic Hunter, etc. It seems they are going for a cross between Mission: Impossible and the X-Files, and neither component seems to work. Some people might find the action parts vaguely exciting, but with characters this bland, who cares if they're in danger?
