The UnBelievable mit Dan Aykroyd

With the background of Mr. Daniel Edward Aykroyd (no spoilers!) and also as a Canadian... I trust that he wouldn't "BS" any of us for simply a paycheque. So.! If you would ever what to talk or listen to someone, about unexplainable occurrences, who are you gonna call?

Like most of these type of shows it does a wonderful job at peaking interest. Loose ends, open plots etc. What is true and what isn't? The answer is; you really do not know. Until someone factually, without a doubt proves any of the million mysteries or mysterious happenings that have apparently occurred since the existence of the universe... just enjoy the questionable.

The show is alright. Some interesting "cases", but most of them have already been covered on other shows ad finitem.

Additionally, most of the "experts" are actual scholars and researchers, then there are the the likes of Adam Richman (or a Jeopardy! Contestant). AFAIK Adam's an expert on obesity, overeating, and mayhaps a wee bit on food... so why is he commenting on any other topic (i.e. Paranormal incidents, archaeology, infectious diseases)?

Far too many cut aways to the commenters and their ofttimes inane, irrelevant, or repetitive critiques.

I may give it another couple episodes though I have little hope for improvment. A seond season seems unlikely unless contractually obligated.

I am totally disappointed that Dan Ackroyd would lower himself to be the host of this total train wreck of a historical show. Besides his dramatic ramblings and the additional B actors or producers that have the label historian put under their names, makes it a total joke. A complete lineup of has been actors, a Jeopardy winner, and a common podcaster all receive the title of historian and you have to sit there and listen to their ridiculous comments. If the show had more actual photos and videos instead of using high school actors, it might be vaguely believable. If you want to watch true historians of different fields of archaeology and history, then I would go with Mysteries of the Abandoned, especially since they show before and after photos and videos.

It is hard to put into words how bad this is. It is the lowest of the lowest tabloid filth you can't even possibly imagine. I would give it -10 if I could. I hope when I grow old I will not be in a position to give my name, and with that, my reputation, and everything I did in the past to this kind of stupidity and total madness. Dan Aykroyd, really? What happened? Where did it go so wrong? This is the sort of program that makes certain politicians viable contenders for office: fake news selling them as truth to us. Doing so by 'experts' you may have never heard of or seen them in a completely different field (of their expertise). This is another low point in American television. A shame, really.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for these kinds of shows. Having the man himself Dan Aykroyd host this was great. The show itself is exactly what you are probably thinking it is. It's a show about unbelievable stories from around the world. Opinions, theories, interviews with the talking heads. It checks all the boxes. I know this type of docuseries isn't for everybody but for what it is it is pretty damn great. I also like how this show fits in with Dan's personal beliefs on things. It's nice to see celebs going this route. If you enjoy William Shatners Weird or What or the Unexplained you'll enjoy this.
