Unsolved Mysteries

A very well made reboot of the iconic series, Netflix does generally seem to be very good at crime documentary's. Six episodes in Vol. 1 and these first six cases are bizarre and completely intriguing.

The production is sleek, low key and emotive. I also really like the reimagining of the theme tune.

If you like true crime and a mystery, I would highly recommend this new series. I can't wait for Vol 2.

I should also state that you need more of an attention span than that of a goldfish to truly enjoy these cases, as they are singular and focused. Unlike the original series. A change that I think here works for the better.

Great stuff.

Someone commented that the revamped version of 'UM' reminds them of "Dateline," which I find to be an apt comparison. Though I will say the first and fifth episodes are exceptions; the latter for more obvious reasons. The former episode was great and reminded me of the original series. Yes, it was a whodunit, but other aspects were brought in. For example, how was the victim killed? It was under very unusual circumstances and shrouded by mystery, oh and the Freemasons!!! Despite them going down a more "Dateliney" path for most of the other episodes, I still enjoyed the program overall and give them kudos for trying something different. 7/10...Good, not great.

Not here to compare the old with the new. Obviously the prior speaks for itself and is iconic. That being said, the newer version still delivers the mystery, suspense, and Eerie experiences each episode. I recommend approaching the new installment with an open mind.

I love this show. I think I watched every documentary on Netflix with cases like this in Unsolved mysteries.

I liked every season and always watching it with so much interest, but, I don't like the last two seasons.

Now I watched season 5, episode 1 and I stopped.

Why? Because Unsolved mysteries turned into UFO, paranormal activites, ghosts, and etc...

Don't get me wrong, but those themes are not my cup of tea. When I was younger I was into that stuff but now, I find it boring and questionable. Not that I don't believe in such things, but only because this show became from interesting to boring. They missed entire field, if you get me.

I gave it a decent 7 and only because of good episodes that includes real life stories, and when I say real, I mean for sure-real.

Bye!

No narrator was a disappointment, couple of the episodes where grueling long feel like they could have made each story 30 mins.
