## What critics say

Reviewers found Dig an ambitious, atmospheric conspiracy thriller whose globe-trotting mystery and strong lead performance were undercut by a muddled, overstuffed plot, and audiences rated it mixed.

## Synopsis

Dig (2015) is an American serialized conspiracy thriller created by Tim Kring and Gideon Raff for USA Network. FBI agent Peter Connelly (Jason Isaacs), recently stationed in Jerusalem, begins investigating the murder of a young American and uncovers an ancient international plot tied to a dangerous prophecy. His engine is a race against the clock: he must follow a trail of clues from a remote Norwegian farm to an enigmatic New Mexico compound and through the serpentine tunnels beneath Jerusalem. Working alongside Detective Golan Cohen (Ori Pfeffer), he pursues a truth that threatens to shake the world's beliefs to their core. The single season of ten episodes unfolds as a continuing mystery where each clue opens onto a larger, more unsettling secret. The tone is tense and paranoid, with an atmosphere of religious dread and global unease. Its blend of archaeological intrigue and government procedure places it in the company of The X-Files and The Da Vinci Code, appealing to viewers who enjoy puzzle-box conspiracies. The story is set in the present-day Middle East and across remote corners of the world, with its mysteries rooted in biblical lore and the anxious politics of faith.
