Mysteries of the Deep

I'm a big fan of Jeremy Wade although I've not watched all of his shows but this one caught my attention because of the mystery element to it. I love a good mystery and this series had several of my favorite tales as well as some new ones I had not heard of. Every episode was entertaining and several experts brought their own unique perspectives to each story adding to the mysteries. I also liked how they didn't stick to one single mystery per episode and instead chose to introduce a few related mysteries as well. And as usual, Mr Wade brings his usual magic to draw you in and listen closely. Jeremy Wade doing what he does best!

I love this show. Don't get me wrong. But it tends to lean towards sensationalism much like the national enquirer. After watching several episodes I have noticed That facts are often left out. They kept showing a "famous" picture that has been long scene proven fake. But wasn't mentioned during the show. And survivor under water. Air bubble.

This series makes me miss Jeremy's hands on investigating and offcourse fishing. It had to happen at some point offcourse! Will always have the memories and offcourse repeats!

He is so calm and knows how to present whatever he wants to present... alot of the bad ratings is only based on old viewers... dont forget that there are alot of young people watching these kind of information programs who does not know about these things... Apart from David Attenborough, Jeremy Wade is next on my list of favorite TV presenters... everything today is a copy... its all about how you do the job and if you get out to the new and younger crowd... and Jeremy does that perfectly... yes he is not as involved in this as he is in his other work like River Monsters etc. But it was also his dream to be able to teach about freshwater monsters and the environment. Mysteries of the deep is awesome!

I happened upon this series purely by surfing channels and heard the unmistakable tones of Jeremy Wade narrating a story of an undersea archaeological discovery. "Great!" I thought. "I like Jeremy's stuff". But as it went on, my expectations began to sink. Jeremy Wade, for reasons best known to himself, has decided to risk his whole credibility by going down the gosh-gee-whiz-amazing-mysteries route that has been flogged to death by so many other presenters. What little valuable new information there may be in this series is wrapped up in a script that insults the intelligence of the viewers (well, most of them anyway). Why did you do it, Jeremy? What's next on your agenda - aliens?
