Oak Island e il tesoro maledetto

I absolutely hate all of the follow up narration. It just isn't necessary. Please stop!!! I would watch more often, IF you didn't have the annoying guy talking over every scene.

The Lagina brothers have already found their treasure.

It is not at the bottom of the money pit.

It is in the heads of the gullible millions who think they can substitute their lack of historical knowledge with a "potentially significant" rusty nail. The same trick week after week, month after month, season after season.

These two clever chaps have got an army of addicted old boomers who think they are about to witness the last thrill of their life: finding out what was it all about.

It doesn't matter if there is a treasure on the island somewhere, the point is to always be just on the brink of finding it. "This season they will solve everything" the addicted pray. Like going to church to get your periodical fix of delegating responsibility for solving the mystery of life to someone else, someone with an elaborate story that can't be solved easily but promises to unlock something important, eventually. "Maybe we can keep them interested one more year" the brothers pray with each new season, and their prayer has been heard 9 times in a row already. I'm sure that at the end of this season they will be very close to solving it, again. Next year the same, the gods of TV ratings willing. And in the decades to come millions more will flock to the island to marvel at the altar of the "potentially significant" rusty nail.

The Laginas are digging in the hearts and minds of tv junkies and have already struck gold there. Congratulations!

Let the illusion of the almost solvable Oak Island mystery continue ad infinitum. Amen!

I'll sum up this entire show: Marty "Would you say that's manmade?" Expert "Maybe." (Marty and Rick look at each other.) Narrator "A manmade structure? Could this be the final clue in the Oak Island mystery? Could it hold gold? Pirate treasure? Or something far, far more important?"

It's an alright show but they're connecting things on that island that are results of hundreds and hundreds of years of visitors leaving their own traces behind. The guess work in the digital video recreations paint a false image to the viewer.

In a way Rick and Marty did find gold, since they've invested a little over $5 mil and the show has made over $100 mil. In that way they were very clever.

I'd give the story 8-9 stars but the production is just awful. Hey Rick, step on that rock over there. "A rock? On Oak Island? Could this be a rock stepped on by renowned pirate John Laffete? Or slept on by the Knights Templar who may have brought treasure from Jerusalem like the Arc of the Covenant? Or maybe it was used in writing the Magna Carte, or to identify the location of other buried treasure?..." Criminies.

And next time you go diving in a murky hole you think is connected to the sea, maybe a good idea to pump a 100K gallons of clean water in first? Just sayin...

I remember hearing the story of Oak Island from my dad over 40 years ago. I really enjoy the show. But I am sick and tired of the narrator " could it be!" And his repeating of what was just said by the searchers. I really wish he could talk about half as much. He manages to ruin a really good show. I'm watching the program now, paused it and created an account just so I could complain about Robert Clotworthy. We discuss the show at work every week and everyone would like to hear a little less from him. Please listen to your audience.
