Beyond Skinwalker Ranch

The pseudoscience, the stilted expository conversations and performative amazement. It's as cringeworthy as you'd imagine. Particularly because it's not a parody. This show is delivered as though the work is sober and rigorous. Disco lasers "adding energy" to the environment... "This blob is an interference pattern"... These grown adults grasp each flicker from their instruments, turn it into a quirky hypothesis and then leap to scientific certainty, all while proclaiming to be skeptical and serious-minded.

Maybe it sells, to some audiences. But, to anyone with any exposure to physics, audio, science, data analysis, or just common sense, you're in for a rough time.

In a nutshell, adults behave like imaginative kids who just got new toys, except with no humour.

I am a true believer in the paranormal. The reason for my leaving this review is that if you are trying to show if something does or doesn't conduct electricity you really should have used the same item ie., the blue opal or the quartz crystal, that were from different areas of the world. Seeing is believing and only a partial showing leaves doubts. By not proving beyond a reasonable doubt that these items would have reacted different even with them undergoing the same procedures leaves questions. Just because you say it does, doesn't prove it will. You need to have verifiable proof of the anomaly.

First of all, Andy Bustamante is a hack. He was on the Shawn Ryan show and spent three hours talking about nothing. He was introduced as retired Air Force which he is Not retired! He got out without fulfilling qualifications for retirement. Retirement=pension, at least get that part right, Paul.

Paul Beban is frankly a terrible host, he really adds no value to the show what so ever. He's in the background like a mushroom, staring blankly at the camera.

Their equipment always seems to fail and the key moments and sorry, dude, you're in a fricken desert, there's a lot of heat! The use the gamma cam, and genius Paul says "where there's Radon, there's probably Uranium". Geez, Paul, you are officially an idiot. There is ZERO correlation between the presence of Radon and the presence of Uranium. Radon frequently travels through the ground water, so smoke doesn't necessarily mean fire.

The whole thing is so obviously staged, it's painful to watch and takes so much away from the original show.

Hard pass. It's another Oak Island, endless drama about nonsense.

Not sure if this show is legit or just rehashes the sand old episodes year After year it seems.

Excavating a hole from a tunnel miles away in hopes of entering it.

What stupidity this show can be with all these dumb ass stupid experiments. If there is an Alien Spacecraft 200 feet below , bring heavy equipment in and just " Dig It Out?" . Same with Oak Island. I would have brought in heavy equipment years ago and dug the entire Money Pit surrounding area out. Both shows just waste viewers Lives and Time. Stupidity!

They think all us viewers are all morons.

Put the Shovel To The Meadow!

Stop Waisting Our Time!

What an assinine TV Show.

This show is not the same as SOSW. I generally enjoy shows like this, particularly SOSW. Andy Bustamante is just plain irritating. Both hosts just seem to be trying way too hard to take the show seriously and have developed use of trying to coin sophomoric phrases like "high strangeness" which in itself is hard to take seriously. Not surprisingly, on this show, they immediately have success finding abnormalities, and also not surprisingly, using much more modern equipment than their sister show, SOSW. These exceptionally more modern experiments would be more exciting on the original show.

I like the concept of exploring other sites that experience UFO-like abnormalities, but this show falls too short. Perhaps a new set of hosts and a less rushed pace. When Travis makes appearances on the show, even he has a "ahhh, sigh" look on his face when dealing with these guys. Do yourselves a favor and stick to the original show.
