Files of the Unexplained

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.

These series have a nice title and decent thumbnail and that's it.

Looks like it was made in a hurry. Like creators had two good stories and added a few terrible ones just to fill the series quota as fast as possible.

To me personally the worst part is that woman's voice narration in an annoying ,,housewifes series,, style. Like she's literally trying to bore viewers out of their minds. Just so unfitting.

It doesn't deserve to be even close to Unsolved Mysteries to which everyone is comparing it to.

I have to say I wouldn't recommend watching this.

Oh and also the direction is very bad (lots of missing information, nonconsistency..).

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.

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.

The unexplained subject is not hard to delve into in show form . Unsolved mysteries with Robert Stack and more recently the unexplained series with William Shatner prove that. Those shows are on a level of their own with intriguing hosts that hold the whole thing together and amazing lot detailed accounts and research. The interviews feel real and not staged by paid actors. This show feels like it's a bunch of paid average joes recounting their dull recounts of unexplained phenomena with even more uninteresting lack of research and attention holding content . This show is like watching paint dry.
