Unsolved Mysteries

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.

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.

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!

An interesting watch, I find this kind of storytelling quite strange, maybe because I'm British, but the thought of sensationalising real life crimes does seem somehow distasteful, but I'm sure we'd all want answers to questions concerning the death of a loved one, particularly when those answers aren't available.

The crimes are all fascinating, the first few in particular truly had my attention, the UFO story was BS, and felt really out of place here.

Entertaining as someone looking from the outside, but I feel for those on the inside, apart from the one guy, who has guilt written all over his face.

Why are people complaining that there is no host? It's always better to hear the story from friends and family members. Just take it as it is and stop comparing it to the old series. I personally like slow paced shows/movies, so I have no issue with that. I guess people these days are used to instant gratification and no longer have patience to wait for a build up. The way this was edited and put together is quite alright. On some stories the police investigation seems quite weird, like they didn't really look into it that hard. But then again we do not have all the details. Overall a good series.
