Le Mystère d'Oak Island

The narrator is a living meme. "A rock...?! 78 feet below the surface...?! Could this be the key to the fabled treasure...?!?" Other than the stretching things out waaaay too long and the broken record narrator, the show is interesting and fun, and I like most of the characters. Just ready to see it wrapped up, for Pete's sake. 😉

I absolutely hate all of the follow up narration. It just isn't necessary. Please stop!!! I would watch more often, IF you didn't have the annoying guy talking over every scene.

Please please please don't cancel the show because I am addicted to the story and really like the guys on the show. They obviously are very passionate about what is buried on the island and how it git there and I hope the best for them.

What The History Channel needs to do though is stop repeating the same story of the curse - we get it, stop telling me what's coming next after the commercial and then recapping what I saw just before those commercials- if you think I can't remember that far back then you're airing too many commercials, and maybe combine a few episodes into one so I feel the team has accomplished something or give more details in place of the same curse chants so it doesn't feel like I wasted an hour watching 15 minutes of actual content.

Do not cancel it, fix the damage The History Channel has done to it.

I do very much enjoy this show. The story and possibilities are intriguing and cause you to wonder what could actually be found. The characters on the show are likable and enjoyable to watch. The cons are the constant repetition of the story during each episode and my biggest annoyance is the narrator. You can bank on 2-4 times during each episode when they will find something (Coin, piece of metal, etc) and the narrator will say something to the effect of..."piece of metal?!?! Could it be part of an alien space craft from long ago?!?!" Obviously I exaggerate, but you get the point.

Hideously slow, repetitive garbage built around some possibly interesting history.

These "treasure hunters" dig and gouge their way through Oak Island, instantly assuming everything they find is Norse or Roman and another clue to the treasure they seek. Each episode has a nugget of story stretched out to fill a 1-hour time slot. They stand around and talk and talk and talk.

There's an old cross, an old coin, a concrete wall, a mysterious cavern, a rock with "carvings," etc. With every "find," they jump to an array of conclusions that always hark back to the mythic Roman or Norse explorers from two centuries ago. Nothing is ever substantiated. The "experts" they consult add nothing to the endless blather.
