Since there are 8 episodes you would almost need 8 separate reviews. Some I was very interested in, others were pretty boring. I think the one that fell into really boring is the one they showcase before you start watching. So that was weird. The little globs that fell from the sky on 3? Occasions. I started with that one and almost quit, but continued and watched all 8 back to back. The rest were better. The UFO ones were the most interesting to me, but others might not like them. There's a haunted lake and plantation. The plantation one was interesting, but too long as there wasn't a lot of mystery there. A mystery about 5 young men that go missing together was good. I wouldn't go into this thinking they are all going to be good because everyone has different likes and dislikes. Some I would rate low and others high so I settled on 6 stars.

The unexplained subject is not hard to delve into in show form . Unsolved mysteries with Robert Stack and more recently the unexplained series with William Shatner prove that. Those shows are on a level of their own with intriguing hosts that hold the whole thing together and amazing lot detailed accounts and research. The interviews feel real and not staged by paid actors. This show feels like it's a bunch of paid average joes recounting their dull recounts of unexplained phenomena with even more uninteresting lack of research and attention holding content . This show is like watching paint dry.

Instead addressing mysteries it's lectures on social justice especially the Myrtle's. It frequently turns into a word salad of all the buzz words of the social woes of the south.

Beyond that it drags, ideas are repeated frequently. Each episode has enough content to occupy about 5 minutes that they stretch into 40 minutes.

Lots of TikTok videos about the focus of the episode. Is that your source? Because we all know social media is the go to source for accurate and verified information.

Also, the Lake Lanier episode does as great job of lumping all of us Natives into one homogenous group who only have one thought, one speak and one voice. Tired of the same old trope of Indian deaths produce ghost stories. Ridiculous. Insulting. Garbage.

Several bizarre, unexplained stories, unanswered mysteries, including UFO sightings and apparent sea ghosts.

If ever a series disappointed me, it was this one, I was expecting something along the lines of Unsolved Mysteries, and for the most part, it feels like a series made my conspiracy theorists and cranks.

With every episode I felt my brain cells dying, there are very few voices of reason, way too many cranks.

I can deal with outrageous theories when they're delivered with a little bit of humour, or a tongue in cheek attitude, but we're made to thing that half of this nonsense is fact, it's excruciating.

It's funny that not one of them comes from Australia or The UK, or France etc, why do all the bonkers things only happen in The States, all I'm asking is why?

If I were reviewing two specific episodes, namely Missing Yuba County Five and Bizarre blobs of Washington, I would be giving a more moderate review, as both were really interesting, both held my attention.

Just watch the two mentioned episodes, skip the rest.

4/10.

I need some backstory on the person that is telling their story about their experience at that location or event. Did their Mother die Monday? Father died Tuesday? Brother died Wednesday? Sister died Thursday? Wife and children died Friday! Person went to mount Shasta or wherever, to ask for help from the spirits or unknown entities of the mountain or whatever it is? If they didn't get help within a certain time frame, they would kill themselves? Did They drink 1.75 liters of vodka that day? Did they smoke 2 joints? Do 5 lines of cocaine? Do heroin? Meth? Are they medicated on mental health meds or other? Taking their meds or not? Schizophrenic?

I need to know the details of the person telling the story, in order to Believe the story. And that goes for all storyteller's of the paranormal and Unexplained. Once I can believe the authenticity of the storyteller's STATE IS MIND, then I WON'T BELIEVE THE STORY. If a filmmaker can replicate this recipe, you'll have a Very successful career, show, movie, whatever and will be rewarded whatever You Desire!! Good Luck! That's what WE ALL WANT!!!?

Should a group of 10 or more individuals with clear minds, with no trauma experiences over 6 months? Year? Ever? Go to these places to document their experience at these locations? Should we send individuals to these locations? What will it take to turn All of Us Skeptics into Believers? I want to know so I can have the experience? What will it take?
