Gold und Gier: Die Jagd nach Forrest Fenns Schatz

This show is awesome!! I highly recommend watching! This show kept me on the edge of my seat. Just when you think you have the outcome figured out, the plot turns upside down! It was non-stop excitement. The ending was really a surprise. I cant believe what some people went through to find a chest worth millions! This was defined a unique documentary on an unusual event. I've never seen anything like it. I also highly recommend reading the book Beyond The Map's Edge to find the next treasure! I really hope the author writes more books. Hopefully I'll be able to go hunt for this new treasure soon! 5 stars!!!

I started this thinking I'd get a quirky treasure hunt tv show. What I got was a front-row seat to the slow, painful meltdown of logic. People sobbing over rocks, detonating boulders like they're in a low-budget Bond movie, and treating vague poetry like gospel. I swear, every minute I watched, a brain cell packed its bags and left. This wasn't a hunt for treasure-it was a televised mass delusion. By the end, I needed a map just to find my will to live. If common sense was buried out there, nobody found it. But hey, at least now I know how not to read a poem. X marked the spot where sanity died.

This show is one of the dumbest that I have ever seen. It's the new, "Tiger King". Characters that you love to hate but still watch. I felt embarrassed for almost everyone. And I had no knowledge of the entire thing.

It is an incredibly sad story. There are so many mentally ill people involved in this mess. It's also sad that media were all over this. They promoted the madness.

I can't say whether or not someone should watch this or not. If "Tiger King" intrigued you, then watch. It's a similar feel. And why in the world IMBD requires such long submissions is beyond me. Maybe not all shows need a lengthy review.

The preview shows an exciting story of a stalker thinking the granddaughter was the treasure within the story. The first 2 episodes was a dull boring mess on people deciphering the clues... it is boring and not what I signed up for. Dull characters, how they guessed what the clues were. I came her for the stalker story and not people who keep failing at deciphering clues. It is a snore fest and recommend avoiding, unless you are intriguing about how people waste their lives on solving treasure clues, and are just not the smartest of individuals of an old man acting like a cat and playing with the mice. Never got to the episode about the stalker... it was not worth it.

I could tell just by the information about this docu-series that this was going to be right up my alley. I absolutely love mysteries, treasure hunts, intrigue, etc.. I was certainly not disappointed by this! It's a one of a kind story that kept me on the edge of my seat until the bittersweet end. Nothing is more interesting in life to me than a good mystery and this encapsulates all the great things that can go along with a good mystery. A hunt for something/someone, thousands of sleuths who will stop at nothing to find the answers, and what's even better yet a treasure at the end of it. This was an absolutely amazing watch and I can't recommend this enough to documentary lovers!
