Les Dossiers de l'inexplicable

Since there are 8 episodes you would almost need 8 separate reviews. Some I was very interested in, others were pretty boring. I think the one that fell into really boring is the one they showcase before you start watching. So that was weird. The little globs that fell from the sky on 3? Occasions. I started with that one and almost quit, but continued and watched all 8 back to back. The rest were better. The UFO ones were the most interesting to me, but others might not like them. There's a haunted lake and plantation. The plantation one was interesting, but too long as there wasn't a lot of mystery there. A mystery about 5 young men that go missing together was good. I wouldn't go into this thinking they are all going to be good because everyone has different likes and dislikes. Some I would rate low and others high so I settled on 6 stars.

Boring stories told by a world weary or simply lacklustre narrator, I've watched some real rubbish on netflix but this takes the biscuit and tramples it into the ground.

There are dozens of this type of show but they are well made and interesting this isn't I fell asleep during the first episode and struggled to keep.y eyes open during the second, I suppose it might be good for insomniacs it certainly helped me sleep.

Decent shows get sidelined while rubbish like this exists, why?

I pray they won't have a second season of this mindnumbingly boring hogwash, it's an insult to the men who passed away in the minibus R. I. P.

Episode 1 is 100% as authentic and real as you can get, I've studied UFOlogy for years. We need to start listening to people and believing them. So to the skeptics and non believers, I genuinely feel sorry for you. I've woken up. Let's stop living in The Matrix. To Calvin, I believe you. I know too much already. I've researched about your story for years. You're so incredibly brave. The shadow government will probably sadly delete this comment one day. They don't want us to wake up and maybe there's good reason, I honestly don't know. If anyone ever calls anyone else 'crazy' or 'mentally unwell' after they talk about their experiences, you need to have a good at yourself, and you are most certainly not welcome in my life. Let's watch, listen and learn, and have a heart. This world is too divided it's truly heartbreaking. We need to come together as one and create a better world through unity and harmony.

Several bizarre, unexplained stories, unanswered mysteries, including UFO sightings and apparent sea ghosts.

If ever a series disappointed me, it was this one, I was expecting something along the lines of Unsolved Mysteries, and for the most part, it feels like a series made my conspiracy theorists and cranks.

With every episode I felt my brain cells dying, there are very few voices of reason, way too many cranks.

I can deal with outrageous theories when they're delivered with a little bit of humour, or a tongue in cheek attitude, but we're made to thing that half of this nonsense is fact, it's excruciating.

It's funny that not one of them comes from Australia or The UK, or France etc, why do all the bonkers things only happen in The States, all I'm asking is why?

If I were reviewing two specific episodes, namely Missing Yuba County Five and Bizarre blobs of Washington, I would be giving a more moderate review, as both were really interesting, both held my attention.

Just watch the two mentioned episodes, skip the rest.

4/10.

Absolutely terrible.

Take a few opinions, find some material from Facebook / Instagram that supports the 'fact' you want to frame as sensational, add an interview from an emotional victim and we have 'Files of the Unexplained'.

If this is the standard for Netflix documentaries I'm not sure I'll bother with any more.

Evident with every episode that no effort has been taken to fact check the material presented by partisan 'experts'. Some old police records are taken as fact, some or not but no real explanation as to why, except for a talking head saying 'I think this...' or 'I think that...'. For a 'documentary' there is an alarming lack of scrutiny.

This is probably the worst TV I have seen in 2024. Maybe this decade...
