Cooper's Treasure: Un trésor vu de l'espace

Such a waste of do much time. They show so little real treasure hunting in each episode. The format is go over the content of last episode, talk alot about not much for most of the episode, then show a few minutes to entice you to watch the next episode. There is one episode that is all about bringing up the anchor to the surface. What a joke but that's the format all these production companies are adopting to stretch out content for many series.

How many times do you have to see the same footage from space, of maps, of his face, repeating and repeating the same things over and over? It's amazing that this is on the air at all. There is no excitement, tension, and most importantly, no pay off at the end of each episode, or even at the end or the season. It really stinks!

I was initially intrigued by the premise of this show, but it quickly became apparent that all was not as it seemed. From the outset something is off about Darrell Miklos, at times he can be quite charismatic but at the same time he's unable to communicate normally with people, he's always trying to force the conversation with stuff like "remember that time me and Gordon Cooper were best friends?" It feels like he's trying to insert himself into Coopers life after the fact.

The problems just continue to get bigger when he explains how Cooper got his information, his explanation requires an astonishing level of technical ignorance to be accepted. They claim he used some camera device designed to detect nuclear installations that somehow managed to pick up underwater wrecks on a craft with less technology than a modern smartphone. At that time a craft moving at 7600 meters per second with the available optics could just about identify an object the size of a city block. Two years after this using better equipment Cooper was unable to take usable pictures or provide data on where the pictures were taken, despite having a 2nd crewman to help this time. These facts are from NASA's own log files from the mission.

If that wasn't problematic enough, Darrell Miklos's father is a known scam artist who cons people into handing over money to fund treasure hunts at which point he disappears with the money. Gordon Cooper himself was involved in several well documented scams and shady business dealings later in his life, he also told a lot of provable lies and fanciful stories.

Didn't think it was possible but there IS a worse show than Oak Island. Why does Discovery make such horrible reality shows. Condense each season to 2 shows and cut out the crap and re-run scenes. All this info is already available on the internet. Didn't think it was possible but there IS a worse show than Oak Island. Why does Discovery make such horrible reality shows.

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.
