America's Book of Secrets

If the narration wasn't tacky enough, the speculation is worse. Good grief it bothers me that there's people out there taking things like this seriously. "Why weren't they shown the REAL vault?!" -Fort Knox episode. I can appreciate a conspiracy show, but the narration only asks stupidly rhetorical questions and is laughably stupid. Stupid. Stupid.



Stupid.

I only had to read the descriptions of a few episodes and watch 15 minutes of the first to realize this "docuseries" is nothing but a conglomerate of conspiracy theories, urban myths, etc. It's a shame what has happened to the History Channel. It used to be about historical events but has gotten totally dumbed down over the years. It would be great to have a really good History Channel or network. PBS does its best but runs on such a limited budget it's amazing what they are able to produce. Bring back the HC from early days of cable and let us see some in-depth, well-produced documentaries!!!

This is a really educational and fun show. I wouldn't say most of it's really a secret, it's just a lot of conspiracy theory and odd type of stuff you don't hear about every day. To give you an idea, some titles of the episode are Secrets of Fort Knox, the White House, the mafia, the CIA etc. Most of it, as I said it stuff you may have read in the paper or seen on the news, but there are some juicy tid-bits thrown in each episode, enough to keep me coming back for more. If you are interest in American history, this is just the show for you. Unfortunately, I think there was only about 20 episodes or so. The History Channel has shows in this vein all the time though. I think there's one coming out called "The United Stuff of America"

I am totally convinced that everything presented in this show is completely true.

Not sure about some of the credits at the end though.

What with COVID-19 grounding everyone at the moment, this is some great watching. Goes into all different top secret areas, each episode is a new theme. Documentary-style, with interviews with former FBI / Government Agencies who reveal what they can.
