It is yet another over-glorified, over-hyped reality TV show. What else would you expect from Discovery network?
As others have mentioned, you could easily condense the content into 1 or 2 episodes. There is so much repetition, that I feel like I'm being taken on an 'idiot ride' and I can't take any of it seriously. Especially the mapping from space, using such old technology to detect underwater objects from very far away, while traveling at high velocity.
Search for written documentation instead of this time-wasting trash and watch something else on NatGeo, for example.

I haven't seen enough substance to warrant a rating yet! Is this show going to continue? Will anything ever be found? The premise had some merit, but apparently neither Mikos nor any of his "experts" can read maps or understand any of Coopers research?!?! C'mon guys, Coop went to a lot of trouble to document a couple hundred sites, can't you honor him by finding at least one? If y'all write yourselves into a corner and can't figure a way out, let me know and I'll guide you to a couple of them.
First and foremost, I think this show is paced and edited so badly - which is probably the producer's hand at work here. There should be a solid documentary underneath this, but the style they have gone for is just all wrong as they have tried to spin a series out of something that would be much better more shorter and concise. This type of editing coupled with fake suspense and an over dramatic musical score, makes me think I am watching an episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA. Not a serious show about Treasure Hunting.
It really annoys me when a documentary devotes far too much time to what's coming up after the commercials and then a recap once the new section starts. It's just watering down of the content and I just wish they would get on with it! Also way too much is reiterated in various different scenes over and over and over again - I get the point and don't need to be re-fed stuff.
The scenes where he meets his father and just before he goes to meet him seem quite staged. I also think they've cut them to seem like they occur more than they actually did (the clue is in the clothing). There is so much here that is just being made unauthentic as the dad clearly loves and wants to help his son - but they have to spin an extra storyline out of this due to the format.
Saying all that with my hand on the fast forward button I am just about able to get a good enough show from this. The thing that keeps me watching is I find Darrell Miklos a charismatic and likable guy with a good enough story and who I want to succeed.
As it is so over-egged, if I do stop watching I will look for a book on the subject and then hopefully won't have to deal with the issues expressed.

Can't click the 'spoilers' button, because there are no spoilers.
This is about 15 or 20 minutes of total material, spread over 8 episodes. There is all kinds of fake drama (clearly faked, how do you surprise your dad when 2 or 3 guys with cameras walk in). Nothing exciting, nothing gets found, it's just boring. The 10 minutes of the 20 that are dedicated to Gordon Cooper are kind of cool. But you see that in the first episode. The other 7 episodes each add about 1 minute of new material, and rehash for the other roughly 39 minutes of show (discounting the 20 minutes of commercials).
I wish everyone would refuse to watch this so they stop making these kind of shows. This should have been a 1 episode documentary, nothing else.
People giving this a positive review are nothing more than fake reviews to get the ratings up.

This is just a cunning series with almost no content and totally disrespectful to viewers. many of the episodes in both season 1 and two are completely reruns !! This is movie material verdict could have been told in 2 hours !! Just so poorly made. Find something else and look! That's my advice
