Have been marathoning this show for the last month and I just love it. You can just tell that they were just three regular dudes in the beginning and that's when the show was at its best. I feel like Zak definitely has a strong personality and he is so serious which comes across as so funny all the time. The way he talks I feel like we all knew someone like him in high school. He just reminds me of a 16 year old who never grew up. They are all just super average dudes and I adore them. Everyone is too hard on Zak, I think that's just who he is. It's his personality and it doesn't change too much throughout the show.
I think a lot of their evidence is pretty compelling and they try their best to explain what they are doing. I like the realism of just having a few people with cameras instead of a huge crew. They were kinda cutting edge with the technology of the time. The show loses a little bit of its realism as time goes on and they add dramatic scenes and "creepy music" that kinda takes away a bit of the vibe but it gets toned down again later.
Sometimes I wonder if these spirits are at these locations or if they just follow the crew around. I feel like Zaks blood is made of ectoplasm.
Anyways, goofy dudes, some compelling evidence, lots of lols over Zak and some of the cringe stuff they say to spirits. It's a good time and a little spooky. Sad to see all the hate. You put too much expectation on these regular dudes it's not like they are scientists they are just out there trying to learn about the afterlife and trying to collect some evidence to prove something does exist. And they definitely have done that. Their episodes of the Goldfield hotel when the rock is thrown and the communication with the little girl spirit are some really good examples. And the Apparition captured at Bobby Mackeys. There are so many good ones I should have made a list. Maybe I can come back and edit this sometime.
