America's Book of Secrets

What with COVID-19 grounding everyone at the moment, this is some great watching. Goes into all different top secret areas, each episode is a new theme. Documentary-style, with interviews with former FBI / Government Agencies who reveal what they can.

If the narration wasn't tacky enough, the speculation is worse. Good grief it bothers me that there's people out there taking things like this seriously. "Why weren't they shown the REAL vault?!" -Fort Knox episode. I can appreciate a conspiracy show, but the narration only asks stupidly rhetorical questions and is laughably stupid. Stupid. Stupid.



Stupid.

Literally every "secret" is a giant nothingburger that has already been in public news forever. Don't expect this series to tell you anything you don't already know, or have any desire to know to begin with.

I only had to read the descriptions of a few episodes and watch 15 minutes of the first to realize this "docuseries" is nothing but a conglomerate of conspiracy theories, urban myths, etc. It's a shame what has happened to the History Channel. It used to be about historical events but has gotten totally dumbed down over the years. It would be great to have a really good History Channel or network. PBS does its best but runs on such a limited budget it's amazing what they are able to produce. Bring back the HC from early days of cable and let us see some in-depth, well-produced documentaries!!!

First, thank you History Channel for showing that your network has officially stopped showing anything historical in favor of showing completely sensationalistic programming. The History Channel should change their name to The Pseudo-History Channel.

Putting on Alex Jones as one of your "experts?" For anyone that doesn't know about this unhinged lunatic, please Google his name and be prepared to see some bat s**t crazy stuff. He believes that the Sandy Hook mass shooting was a false flag operation and none of the children at the school were actually murdered. He believes that the government is turning frogs gay.
