4/10
Interesting idea, poor execution: only titles, nothing more
5 October 2021
Like someone else's review title says: "like a bad youtube video". All that's missing is the robotic voice. This is a spectacular idea, dealing with fascinating topics. Like yesterday they were talking about secret cults like the Bilderberg Group etc But they don't dig, they do no research, they just name names ("titles") and leave you to do your research. Shows last 30 min. Very unsatisfying. I wonder how many more they can make like that. Right now they're having the Jack the Ripper one and they casually just showed gruesome photos of the crime victims, some with their eyes missing. Why? They wouldn't do that with nudity! NO warning given. To make matters worse, the graphic close-ups on some of those pix are displayed at IMDb's homepage for this title! No everyone is an insensitive robot!

Some of it is idiotic like "who is the tank man from the China footage?" Who cares!? He was a protester, not a celebrity. What does it matter what his name was? He stood for the people. It's no mystery to be solved, really!

Travel Channel has taken to airing only 2 shows in the early mornings, before their usual boring fare of ghost hunting shows. Anyway, can't they give these ideas and these titles to a crew and producer who is not completely inept? Why go thru the trouble of recreation footage if there's nothing there?? Sadly I rate it at 4/10 and I see I'm way too generous compared to the other reviews on first page. (I was giving it 5 but removed one for the graphic pix.) I look fwd the one about how long can you live without food.
