This is indisputably true, but the Bible-flavored conspiracy thriller (premieres March 5) did not get the best DNA of either parent. From _Homeland_, it inherits a setting in an exoticized Middle East and a tale built around an investigator whose work is complicated by questionable personal choices that waylay the story. From _Heroes_, it borrows a globe-trotting network of characters whose story will reveal how Everything Is Connected, and a tendency to prioritize complications and twists over engaging story and characters. There are prophecies and Old Testament quotes and cultists and ancient sacred jewels–and, I don’t know, probably horcruxes too–but all the scripture and trinkets add up to a lifeless series that’s more puzzle than narrative. The center jigsaw piece is Jason Isaacs, once so captivating in _Awake_, as Peter Connelly, an FBI agent chasing a fugitive in Jerusalem. The case leads Peter to a young redhead (Alison Sudol) who’s been working on an archaeological dig at the Temple Mount, in search of the Ark of the Covenant. “Like Indiana Jones?” Peter asks, in a bit of narrative lantern-hanging that doesn’t change how derivative this all feels. Peter ends up skinny-dipping with her in a ceremonial underground pool and, for good measure, has been having an affair with his boss \[Anne Heche\]–there’s the _Homeland_ influence. The dig’s object is vague, and slightly ominous-sounding, and Peter begins to suspect that the case he’s on involves more than a simple manhunt. And there are many more threads in this Biblical garment. A young Orthodox Jewish man, thousands of miles away in Norway, is raising a red calf, under the intense direction of religious elders. Travel several thousand more miles west and hang a left, and we’re in New Mexico, where a boy is being raised in isolation by a creepy religious leader (David Costabile) and a more sympathetic guardian (Lauren Ambrose), who are prepping him for some unnamed, urgent destiny. (The trope of the enigma-child with mysterious powers is another Kringianism, as seen on his Fox drama _Touch_.) What do they want with the kid? What do they want with the cow? Why the Temple Mount? Why all the red hair? It’s all hush-hush, but you can take an educated guess simply by [Googling](http://lmgtfy.com/?q=temple+mount+red+heifer+prophecy) some of the salient keywords. And that might be a more entertaining use of your time, since for all its ambitious thread-knitting, _Dig_ gets ensnared in its own tangle of B-movie dialogue and Conspiracy 101 twists. In the end, this archaelogical drama feels like an artifact itself, but of a more recent era: the time, after the success of _Lost_, in which serials like _Flash-Forward_ and _The Event_ mimicked that show’s complicated mythological stories without its most important element: vivid characters you want to spend time with. _Dig_ looks like something we’ve dug up before: another thriller that spends a lot of time pinning up multicolored string to a corkboard, but never gets around to spinning a good yarn.
