The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch

Well I understand the use of theatrics but hello it's television! Scientists and engineers are not generally thought of as bowls of laughs, charismatic and people you want to binge watch. However the fact that I watched 6 episodes in one sitting tells me that I need to get a life...AND it was interesting if not engaging. That's not to say the security guard isn't annoying because he most definitely is. But Travis managed to break down complicated science jargon into things I actually understood and that I found fascinating. It's creepy, interesting and I am a believer in the strange occurrences taking place. And I disagree with others who claim nothing happens. Plenty happens but it is speculation as to what is the source. Hopefully they will eventually get there, but if not, I still consider it a very interesting, educational and engaging show.

I want to, just once, see a show about this ranch without "actors". This is almost as bad as Mountain Monsters. They try to build suspense with forced reality tv show style conflicts between the characters when the property itself is interesting alone.

My favorite part of the show is the dude who's name is Dragon always telling the astrophysicist what they need to do 😂 Otherwise the show is pretty entertaining it has a bit of "The Curse of Oak Island" feel to it. Not sure they will ever figure anything out in regard to what they are searching for but something about the show keeps me coming back! The owner of the ranch I feel like he's the alien in charge of all the things going on the ranch somethings off about him. I don't know what it is but he feels like he could be the evil genius in like a James Bond movie or something like that. I'm keeping an eye on that guy.

...But not 100% yet. I would love to know what is happening on Skinwalker Ranch, obviously something strange is. Travis Taylor and Erik Bard have the credentials to make a great show and get answers but "Head of Security" "Dragon," Bryant Arnold seems out of place, from the way he looks to what he says. He is in every scene, carrying his weapon and makes the show unbearable. Cut the cast in half and try again.

I wanted to like this show. Had high hopes. But it is too heavy on the corny. At times the pain of Taylor dealing with the "team" especially Dragon are just painful. Show needs to be re-tooled, without the tools.
