Ghost Ships

I started watching this series hoping it would have great underwater scenes with the wreckage of the sunken ships along with old antiques etc found on the surface ... but it was 90% of the time just story telling and lots of repetition of the same story.

The real action started way late towards the end of the episode and that too lasts hardly for 5 mins or so.

They hardly showed much of the wreckage.. just shown them going in and few scenes below showing underwater plants and then 1 diver just chickens out and comes back to surface saying he got too scared down there (why was he there then in the first place) while the other 2 divers kept on.

Maybe a second season with better divers and more adventurous episodes would make the show better.

If you tune into watch this show, and expecting some exciting evidence of sunken ships and that are haunted you will be greatly disappointed! I have watched the three episodes that have aired and was left very very underwhelmed! A great example is Episode Two where they are exploring tale of a three mast ghost ship that is sailing totally enveloped in flames! While this flaming ship supposedly has been seen for well over a century, there was no photo evidence of this sight from those who said they saw this ship on fire! They start talking to locals and you get this story that ship from when the Arcadian were expelled from Canada and being sent back to France. However when they talk to someone who has found a large 3 mast ship on the bottom that shows evidence of fire they are told this ship has a propeller! Which is something that did not exist when the Arcadians were expelled. Like in the other two episodes the path they say they are going on is far far away from then results they end up giving you at the end after wasting your time.

Another History show that sounds tantalizing but sadly it's 85% filler. Though the ideas for topics are great, you have two host who whine the whole time about how difficult and dangerous the locations are. Not very adventurous. Several times the dude just panics and cuts off the dive abruptly as the progrsm slips into some Paranormal bs. This of course is the dive you've waited 40 minutes for. So it's mostly what if's and perhaps this or perhaps that with 5 minutes of decent footage soundtracked by fear and whining. It would be a perfect program for someone to follow with a duplicate satire piece. Hope to see it on Tosh.0.
