Legends of the Deep

I enjoyed the show, and I think we need more of shows researching various anomalies around the world and especially underwater. This documentary mini-series is definitely more about the journey than the destination, and I still had a good time watching it.

The things I liked about show:

• The stories of legends and mysteries behind each episode are very intriguing
• I liked the underwater footage
• The mysterious vibe of the stories combined with spooky scenarios is a great formula for the show, so it's entertaining.
• I also enjoyed the various routes the show took, such as collecting further evidence, interviewing eyewitnesses or people who knows about the legends in an attept to come closer to solve the mysteries.

The things I didn't like about the show:

• The show seems more oriented towards surviving every minute under water than it is on exploration alone. There is always mortal danger in every step they do. So usually as soon as they get to the bottom of the sea and look around a bit they already have to resurface.
• The episodes feel scripted. The music sometimes it too over the top to accentuate the drama, the dialogues, the camera positions most of the time don't feel natural or genune at all, also there to cause more drama. In the end it feels more like a movie than an actual documentary.
• The show could have more episodes, there are only 4.
• Nothing interesting is ever found, except in the very last episode.

Now, I know that these episodes are quite demanding to make, very budget-consuming and not to mention pretty dangerous, as well. Another good thing I have to mention is that all 4 episodes of the show are available to watch for free on Legends of the deep official facebook page, even if not in the best video quality :)

No history. Just more bogus drama. Oh I'm running out of air. Oh it's just a rock and so on. Even worse than civil war gold and the WWII treasure show.

Why is every dive a life of death experience? Why does the dive master rattle on all the time about dive safety? Why is it life or death every time the have to surface? You have a quarter of a tank of air GET TO THE SURFACE RIGHT NOW!! Warning danger will Robinson. Well I think they are ok cause you can see the bottom of the boat, I think you can do that without extra air! Why are they surprised every time they enter a room when the camera man is already there? Don't get me wrong this show is good, but it could be great if they just stopped whats listed above. The subject matter is very interesting. and the hosts a good, but arrrgh the guy who runs the dives need to shut up!

Nothing ever actually happens in any of the episodes. There's so much hype and drama and mystery leading up through the whole episode, and then....nothing. Maybe if they actually found something cool I'd be more into it, but it always the same thing. They talk about rumors and things people have claimed they've seen, and that's about it. Actual dive time is pretty small and they never see anything cool.

I like the show , but Celine and Fabien seem to be a bit awkward on camera i don't know if its because they are reading the script or that's just them and we don't need to see you prep for dives every show unless you're telling us about some new gadget your using.
