Mysteries of the Deep

As a keen watcher of Jeremy in his river monsters series I had high hopes for this. Sadly he's just the front man really. You get Jeremy intoducing the "mystery" (he's always standing on a rock in what looks like Cornwall) then you get the usual regurgitated, endless done to death Discovery type mystery story. You wont be much the wiser for watching this series, and you wont see much of JW either. It's ok if your bored, but if your hoping to to learn anything you'll be better off watching something else.

Jeremy Wade can do no wrong, his sparkling personality allows him to not only be incredible in everything he does but to also captivate audiences with his charm and swagger! ALL HAIL KING JEREMY

I've been a fan of Mr. Wade's programs from day one and he and I have exchanged a few emails about fly fishing, tying flies and Percy Fawcett.

This program is a huge disappointment. We occasionally see him standing or sitting on various rocks talking us through real life sea mysteries that have been discussed for years on other programs. Don't these people watch educational television? So far, every single subject has been raked over by other 'explorers' many times.

This, literally, looks like he's doing the program because he needs the cash, he just can't tear himself out from the front of the camera or his die hard women fans don't care what he talks about as long as there are plenty of 'up his nostrils' close ups.

Mr. Wade, it's time to retire or be a little more careful what jobs you accept. Sir Attenborough you are not.

Nothing new or compelling here. It's all been done before and better. This is just a money grab, as they know there are people that are easily led. If they liked Wade in one show, they will watch him wipe his backside. River Monsters was very interesting and watchable, if overly melodramatic, and with way too much loud music. His other show, Dark Waters, though not close to River Monsters, was even better than this thing. Too much repetition within the show, too many "experts". They quick cut from "expert" to "expert" and allow each one to utter one sentence before moving to the next. The "experts" do not seem like "experts". Should stick with River Monsters format, as there are thousands of "presenters" out there that can review historical events and speculate.

I'm on episode 6 and so far I've really enjoyed this show. I'm a big fan of Jeremy Wade and although it's strange not seeing him reel in river monsters, he's a good host for this show. I do see what others are saying in that it can sometimes be a little confusing because it jumps around a little bit from topic to topic but overall, if this type of stuff intrigues you, I would give it a chance. Don't deprive yourself of it because of some bad reviews. Watch it and judge for yourself!
