First and foremost, I think this show is paced and edited so badly - which is probably the producer's hand at work here. There should be a solid documentary underneath this, but the style they have gone for is just all wrong as they have tried to spin a series out of something that would be much better more shorter and concise. This type of editing coupled with fake suspense and an over dramatic musical score, makes me think I am watching an episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA. Not a serious show about Treasure Hunting.

It really annoys me when a documentary devotes far too much time to what's coming up after the commercials and then a recap once the new section starts. It's just watering down of the content and I just wish they would get on with it! Also way too much is reiterated in various different scenes over and over and over again - I get the point and don't need to be re-fed stuff.

The scenes where he meets his father and just before he goes to meet him seem quite staged. I also think they've cut them to seem like they occur more than they actually did (the clue is in the clothing). There is so much here that is just being made unauthentic as the dad clearly loves and wants to help his son - but they have to spin an extra storyline out of this due to the format.

Saying all that with my hand on the fast forward button I am just about able to get a good enough show from this. The thing that keeps me watching is I find Darrell Miklos a charismatic and likable guy with a good enough story and who I want to succeed.

As it is so over-egged, if I do stop watching I will look for a book on the subject and then hopefully won't have to deal with the issues expressed.

I did view the episodes and it was an "ok" series to me as I enjoy viewing treasure hunt shows. It had a lot of cereal in it and was repetitious in many areas yet I kept watching.

Then all of a sudden this series dissappears from tv progamming. I assume it was cancelled as I never find any listings for it.

Can someone comfirm the above for me?.......thanks for any help.

Spaceflight historians and program veterans have serious problems with the fundamental premises of this show. They say there never was such a sensor on Mercury-9, there never was the slightest justification of putting such a sensor on it when airplanes could carry the sensor more effectively and cheaply, that Cooper only took a few dozen photos of the surface -- none at all over the Caribbean == that there was no way an astronaut looking out the window could accurately log latitude/longitude of anything he saw, and no way that Cooper could or would keep secret notes from the flight without NASA's knowledge. Otherwise, enjoy the show.

I was initially intrigued by the premise of this show, but it quickly became apparent that all was not as it seemed. From the outset something is off about Darrell Miklos, at times he can be quite charismatic but at the same time he's unable to communicate normally with people, he's always trying to force the conversation with stuff like "remember that time me and Gordon Cooper were best friends?" It feels like he's trying to insert himself into Coopers life after the fact.

The problems just continue to get bigger when he explains how Cooper got his information, his explanation requires an astonishing level of technical ignorance to be accepted. They claim he used some camera device designed to detect nuclear installations that somehow managed to pick up underwater wrecks on a craft with less technology than a modern smartphone. At that time a craft moving at 7600 meters per second with the available optics could just about identify an object the size of a city block. Two years after this using better equipment Cooper was unable to take usable pictures or provide data on where the pictures were taken, despite having a 2nd crewman to help this time. These facts are from NASA's own log files from the mission.

If that wasn't problematic enough, Darrell Miklos's father is a known scam artist who cons people into handing over money to fund treasure hunts at which point he disappears with the money. Gordon Cooper himself was involved in several well documented scams and shady business dealings later in his life, he also told a lot of provable lies and fanciful stories.

I really really enjoy this treasure hunt. I definitely will continue to follow it and hope he finds everything he sets out for. I like that it's an hour long and I believe a lot of people can relate to his father's lack of a decent relationship with his son even though at 40 something, Darrell still longs for a connection. I would probably give it 9-10 stars except there is an awful lot of footage from space. I understand adding the backstory at the beginning of the season, heck, throw it into the "previously on Cooper's treasure" segment, but is used far too much as filler and unfortunately, I'm not interested in that footage after 6+ episodes. I was also shocked and felt like I was left hanging after episode 6 when I haven't seen any other scheduled episodes as of yet. I enjoy it. Needs more hunt, less space footage.

I haven't watched the 2nd season yet, but the first season is almost hard to believe is true, but it seems to be. It's amazing what lives some people lead.

It's definitely an amazing story. Just watch it.

I'll edit this once I finish 2nd season.

It is yet another over-glorified, over-hyped reality TV show. What else would you expect from Discovery network?

As others have mentioned, you could easily condense the content into 1 or 2 episodes. There is so much repetition, that I feel like I'm being taken on an 'idiot ride' and I can't take any of it seriously. Especially the mapping from space, using such old technology to detect underwater objects from very far away, while traveling at high velocity.

Search for written documentation instead of this time-wasting trash and watch something else on NatGeo, for example.

Such a waste of do much time. They show so little real treasure hunting in each episode. The format is go over the content of last episode, talk alot about not much for most of the episode, then show a few minutes to entice you to watch the next episode. There is one episode that is all about bringing up the anchor to the surface. What a joke but that's the format all these production companies are adopting to stretch out content for many series.

Didn't think it was possible but there IS a worse show than Oak Island. Why does Discovery make such horrible reality shows. Condense each season to 2 shows and cut out the crap and re-run scenes. All this info is already available on the internet. Didn't think it was possible but there IS a worse show than Oak Island. Why does Discovery make such horrible reality shows.

This man was legend. Cooper was bound to have found a large sum of treasure. I wonder if he had no children with his second wife they were such rock stars of their time. Cooper also was not shy about UFO's and Aliens. This is not a made up story. Cooper was a real space cowboy!

Can not wait for the new season.

You can not make this stuff up.

Can't click the 'spoilers' button, because there are no spoilers.

This is about 15 or 20 minutes of total material, spread over 8 episodes. There is all kinds of fake drama (clearly faked, how do you surprise your dad when 2 or 3 guys with cameras walk in). Nothing exciting, nothing gets found, it's just boring. The 10 minutes of the 20 that are dedicated to Gordon Cooper are kind of cool. But you see that in the first episode. The other 7 episodes each add about 1 minute of new material, and rehash for the other roughly 39 minutes of show (discounting the 20 minutes of commercials).

I wish everyone would refuse to watch this so they stop making these kind of shows. This should have been a 1 episode documentary, nothing else.

People giving this a positive review are nothing more than fake reviews to get the ratings up.

The lead reviewer has issues giving this a 1 / 10. Clearly BrianKitt was expecting instant results. This show is awesome. The process is awesome and I cannot wait for Season 3. Keep up the good work Darrell!!!!

I haven't seen enough substance to warrant a rating yet! Is this show going to continue? Will anything ever be found? The premise had some merit, but apparently neither Mikos nor any of his "experts" can read maps or understand any of Coopers research?!?! C'mon guys, Coop went to a lot of trouble to document a couple hundred sites, can't you honor him by finding at least one? If y'all write yourselves into a corner and can't figure a way out, let me know and I'll guide you to a couple of them.

The first series was a bit long winded but the 2nd is absolutely amazing I hope darrel and the team succeed they deserve it. I can't wait to see the finale of series 2 and hoping for series 3 good luck guy's

We love the show...I mean, if your a person that wants treasure found right away, this is not for you. BUT...if you want a show that's realistic about treasure hunting...this is it. The ups AND the downs. The story of Cooper is fascinating as well. I don't get the bad reviews above, but to each their own. The only downsize of the show is Darryls Dad....what a complete asshole.

This is just a cunning series with almost no content and totally disrespectful to viewers. many of the episodes in both season 1 and two are completely reruns !! This is movie material verdict could have been told in 2 hours !! Just so poorly made. Find something else and look! That's my advice

I read some of the reviews on here and Darryl Miklos is not a con man. We went to his antique shop in St. Augustine and bought one of the coins from the 1500's. Everything in there has a certificate of authenticity and an artifact number., not to mention he's an amazing man and very nice. The show is definitely slow moving but it takes awhile to find buried treasures in the sea I'm guessing. Lol.

How many times do you have to see the same footage from space, of maps, of his face, repeating and repeating the same things over and over? It's amazing that this is on the air at all. There is no excitement, tension, and most importantly, no pay off at the end of each episode, or even at the end or the season. It really stinks!
