Unsolved Mysteries

No narrator was a disappointment, couple of the episodes where grueling long feel like they could have made each story 30 mins.

Is this meant to be part of a different series? Comedy perhaps? Hardly an unsolved mystery. A very stereotypical American take on UFO's appearing in small towns. Ticked just about every cliché in the book. Particularly enjoyed the part where the chap talks about getting sucked up by a beam!

An interesting watch, I find this kind of storytelling quite strange, maybe because I'm British, but the thought of sensationalising real life crimes does seem somehow distasteful, but I'm sure we'd all want answers to questions concerning the death of a loved one, particularly when those answers aren't available.

The crimes are all fascinating, the first few in particular truly had my attention, the UFO story was BS, and felt really out of place here.

Entertaining as someone looking from the outside, but I feel for those on the inside, apart from the one guy, who has guilt written all over his face.

Someone commented that the revamped version of 'UM' reminds them of "Dateline," which I find to be an apt comparison. Though I will say the first and fifth episodes are exceptions; the latter for more obvious reasons. The former episode was great and reminded me of the original series. Yes, it was a whodunit, but other aspects were brought in. For example, how was the victim killed? It was under very unusual circumstances and shrouded by mystery, oh and the Freemasons!!! Despite them going down a more "Dateliney" path for most of the other episodes, I still enjoyed the program overall and give them kudos for trying something different. 7/10...Good, not great.

A very well made reboot of the iconic series, Netflix does generally seem to be very good at crime documentary's. Six episodes in Vol. 1 and these first six cases are bizarre and completely intriguing.

The production is sleek, low key and emotive. I also really like the reimagining of the theme tune.

If you like true crime and a mystery, I would highly recommend this new series. I can't wait for Vol 2.

I should also state that you need more of an attention span than that of a goldfish to truly enjoy these cases, as they are singular and focused. Unlike the original series. A change that I think here works for the better.

Great stuff.
