The Librarian is a series of made-for-TV original movies from TNT starring Noah Wyle as a librarian who protects a secret collection of artifacts. A collection of relics stored in the Library can be fold in Wikipedia.
Three movies have been made:
1) The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004)
2) The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines (2006)
3) The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice (2008)
This show has a recipe for success - a combination of witty humor, adventure and romance. I particularly like seeing how even without the luxury of fancy gadgets or the James Bond Charm, the Librarian is always able to use his knowledge and wit to get out of seemingly desperate situations.
The story begins. From a book worm with 22 scholarly degrees to being kicked out of college and forced to get a real job, Flynn Carsen found himself chosen to become the Librarian. His main job is to recover and protect relics or artifacts at all costs. Usually he finds aid by a romantic interest.

My favourite female cast is in “Return to King Solomon’s Mines” where the Librarian finds his romantic and intellectual match, Emily Davenport (played by Gabrielle Anwar), an archaeologist who has 3 more degrees than he does and can argue with him convincingly about ancient history.
Maybe it is destined that the love and passion for relics will be greater than romantic love, just like the Librarian’s calling to be the protector of history. Sometimes he has to sacrifice what he wants for the greater good. It adds to the nobility of the saving the world and the Librarian job.
I love to think that Flynn has matured from an introvert into a man of the world. He has learnt to put his knowledge to use and has found fulfillment in his work. He is no longer just brains as his sword training with Excalibur has turned him into a worthy swordsman. In a way, his job has given him the balance in his life he needed and it is truly a blessing.
“It is not just a job. It is your life.”

Overall, I have loved all three movies and give them an average rating of 7/10. There are room for improvements. I actually prefer the story line to be a little less supernatural to be more relatable. I also hope to see the story build on the history of the Library which has not been extensively discussed yet. Meanwhile, I will wait patiently for the next Librarian movie.
