Premiering Thursday, July 13 (9:00-10:00p.m. ET) and spanning eight hour-long episodes, HOOTEN & THE LADY tells the story of two globetrotting treasure hunters who set out to recover priceless legendary artifacts. Hooten is a smooth-talking, yet foolhardy, lone wolf, who often finds himself in sticky situations. Lady Alexandra is an aristocrat and British Museum curator who, despite being straight-laced, is eager to follow in the footsteps of history's great archaeologists and venture to uncharted lands. Meeting in the thick of the Amazon jungle, they form an unlikely partnership as they travel the globe in pursuit of hidden treasures. Natural opposites, they soon find they don't get on. However, expediency and danger draw them together as they head to locations including; Bhutan, Moscow, Rome and Egypt on the trail of mysterious missing relics. Hooten & The Lady is produced by Red Planet Pictures and the lead director is Colin Teague. It is executive produced by Tony Jordan and Simon Winstone for Red Planet Pictures and Cameron Roach for Sky, with Caroline Levy as series producer. This nail-biting series follows the escapades of maverick adventurer Hooten, played by Michael Landes ("CSI," "Love Soup") and fearless historical expert Lady Alexandra, portrayed by Ophelia Lovibond ("Elementary," "Guardians of the Galaxy").

I love me a good Indy/Uncharted style adventure. Might have to check this out.

I liked this one quite a bit. It was a shameless ripoff of Romancing the Stone but I liked those movies and this one worked pretty well. A few good laughs. I'll watch again.

Well my wife and daughter liked it, so we're along for the ride. A tad confusing as to where they were wandering jungle-wise (you figure they might be able to re-find Zed from the helicopter black box if it had one) but likely due the "check your brain" style plotting.

This had to have been made for international syndication purposes with the nudity and language. It felt nothing like a modern Hollywood production and everything like an adventure series from the 1980s.
The CW must have optioned it to fill their summer schedule. It wasn't bad in a fun retro sense. You just don't see this formula much more on the air.

Just heard that the show is moving from Thursday nights at 9:00 pm ET to Monday nights at 9:00 pm ET - starting this Monday, July 31 with the fourth episode ""Bhutan".
(Guess they are hoping Supergirl repeats is a better lead-in than new episodes of Penn & Teller: Fool Us. Looks like CW is doing a variety night as two episodes - first one a new one - of "Whose Line is It Anyway" airs from 9:00 pm ET to 10:00 pm ET on Thursdays - at least the next two Thursdays.)

I'm enjoying this quite a bit. Hooten should be played by Bruce Campbell though. Going in, I didn't realize who the actress was. Nice to see Kitty from Elementary getting a leading role.
