Decent story but terrible writing

Going in the right direction
The second episode begins right where the first one left us. The story is building itself, the characters are more interesting now, and I'm even starting to like Liam who, until now, looked like a sad melodramatic grandchild who is sad and mad to anyone.
Yeah, Ben Gates is not here, but I'm actually starting to see the National Treasure spirit behind the whole atmosphere. And now we have to wait one week to see how this is moving forward.
During the first episode I didn't find that interesting that the plot decided to go around Peter Sadusky as the comeback from the movies (he never was the most interesting character), but the way the story goes around the Freemasons, who were named and relevant during the movies but we never got such a backstory or a focus on them more than "they are the people who made the clues to hide the treasure", seems pretty clever. So I'm buying it. This show is definitely having my attention, can't wait for next Wednesday!
Oh. Have I mentioned that the intro sequence and music is fantastic?
