BexieID I've only seen one whole episode and some snippets but I can't believe its cancelled already! Grrr!!!!! It's currently airing over here on mondays at 9pm on the Sci-Fi Channel. 9 episodes have been aired so far. I am looking forward to watching the ones I haven't seen. What piqued my interest in the show is that Ryan Merriman is in it. He was excellent as young Jarod in The Pretender and I wanted to see him in something more recent. Interestingly, the episode of Veritas I have seen is the one with the young prodigy Alexi. Ryans character Nikko was to Alexi, as Sydney was to Jarod. Well, in my opinion anyway! If you like Tombraider, you'll probably like this!
HarryC13 This was an interesting, intelligent series -- something to look forward to on Monday nights. But the network kept pre-empting it for any number of excuses, and I only got to see three episodes. Now it's being canceled? Morons!
jkirkseven 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?
Ten13Grl The first episode of Veritas showed much potential and a promise of better things to come. Ryan Merriman delivers, as always, and the rest of the cast were great as well. The show is the story of Vincent, played by Alex Carter, who is an archaeologist.......well, kind of, more like Lara Croft's version of an archaeologist from what the first episode shows, and his estranged son Nikko, played by Merriman. In the first episode Vincent is trying to find a lost city that his wife had been searching for before she died and Nikko ends up coming along for the ride. The characters are interesting and the dialogue, though it could use a little work, is quite good overall. ****/*****
