Sasquatch

I was all geared up for this. I love Bigfoot stories and documentaries. This is not one.

The first episode talks about the story of how Bigfoot allegedly killed three men at a pot farm in 1993, just like the description says. But after that, it just becomes a documentary about the marijuana farm scene in Northern California from the 1980s until today. It's an okay documentary about that, but ridiculous to mislead viewers into thinking this has anything to do with Sasquatch. That subject is barely touched upon here.

First, I'm convinced most of the 1 stars are people who didn't bother to read the series description before they watched, and instead of just moving on to something else came here to complain about it not actually being about catching sasquatch.

Second, this was a really cool look into the dark underbelly of the the Mendocino, but more importantly the national forest system as a whole. If you've ever worked on a national forest, you know this kind of stuff is well known and runs rampant amongst the national forests in California. Racism, crime and even murder can be common place, especially in a place as large and anonymous as a national park can be. It's as fascinating as it is tragic, and if you're a fan of true crime, this is a solid watch.

Felt the need to write a review as the rating is very unfair, seems a lot of people are upset about the title and subject matter, if you are expecting more 'Finding Bigfoot' then move on. (side not - i just checked and that show is 12 seasons in, 12!!!??! You'd think after 12 years of searching you would call it a day)

Davd Holthouse takes a deep dive into a story he heard in his younger days about a Bigfoot/Sasquatch.

Lots of twists, lots of jaw dropping moments. I personally watched the entire mini-series in one sitting as i was loving it. It's Scary, it funny, it's sad, it has it all. One thing that really stood out to me was the honesty of Davd Holthouse. Really hope to see more projects from this guy, more stories of his past work as he seems like a very interesting man.

Highly recommended.

Very misleading tittle and artwork, but if you are a fan or interested on true crime give it a try.

If you're expecting to see and hear mostly about Bigfoot you'll be disappointed. It's more about the craziness and lawlessness of the north California pot farming communities and urban legends. It's not great but I thought was interesting. The ending (if true) is a really good tactic and impressive for the time it would have happened.
