Sasquatch

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.

With some of the garbage docs that Netflix has been churning out recently Hulu decided they can play the game too. They hook you in with the title and get you thinking maybe this might be a fun romp down the old Big Foot trail, but nooooooope, this is almost all about weed and hippies and paranoia. If they had just said that up front with an appropriate title I might have watched anyways.

...so it's a little weird that people are complaining about this show not being "about Bigfoot." Another show about someone looking for something they absolutely aren't going to find would be redundant and boring. This is an incredible true crime story with an ending you won't be expecting. Just do yourself a favor and watch it-unless for some reason you'd rather watch people spend 8 episodes in the woods chasing prerecorded Bigfoot noises.

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.
