Very neat, natural phenomenal. Absurd explanations and overdramatizations.
maitreg17 December 2021
The real phenomena covered by this series *could* have made for a great show, if they'd just stuck to the facts, raw footage, and scientific explanations. But no. Like other Weather Channel series, this show's producers treat the audience like they are either small children or too dumb to appreciate science, so they augment all of the raw photos and videos with fake sound effects, stock footage of people running and screaming, clips literally taken from movie scenes, and interviews with a wide variety of scientists, pseduo-scientists, conspiracy theorists, and charismatic, uneducated individuals who offer nothing more than ridiculous, middle-school theories about what *could* be an explanation a small portion of a video clip that the viewer can see with their own eyes that the theory doesn't even match was was recorded.

I would love for them to have a made a serious show about these phenomena with serious scientific analysis. But instead, I can feel my IQ dropping while watching this. This is one of those rare shows that is more enjoyable by muting it and skipping past the discussions. They are that bad.

One of the Best I have seen
SasquatchLives12 February 2024
One of the Best Shows on TV in a long time! Love the reviews, final, if known, answer, dramatizations. Commentary by all are excellent. Great family show. Just good to see what I call as a Good Old Fashion Show! Not only does it teach our kids, and Grandkids, but I learn from it also. Amazing what you can learn from a TV show! Would Love to see this show continued, made to DVD's. I am going to check and see if I can look up previous episodes and start a binge watch on it. This is definitely one of the best science shows I have seen in a while. It os a must see for those that like weird things you may not normally ever see!

Horrible explainations

So many of the episodes just have the most ridiculous explanations. This show just tries to make everything so overly sensational. What a total sham so many of these are. Utterly ridiculous. Those "scientists" should be ashamed.

This is a great show
myphotojourneys7 January 2024
I don't understand as to why it's not on DVD? This show has shown stuff I haven't even seen before on TV. I saw this on a local station called "this" It's a great show it really breaks up and offers a program unlike all the other stuff on tv right now. I am glad it offers a possible reasoning too. They really need to put the reruns on DVD I would definitely buy them. And please if they do ...they need to advertise that the show is now out on DVD so I can get them. I think someone needs to make a show like this on either weird humans, or animals. I know I would watch it. Plus one on weird jobs around the world. OH! And weird Architecture!

Over dramatized conspiracies
pgilbert-815154 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Like others stated this show is sometimes less about the science and more about fear or spreading conspiracy theories. Talking about what took down planes decades ago and trying to put a spin on it like it still happens today. Or taking a jet trail in the sky and turning it into a government chemical missile to manipulate weather. Some of the segments are good, but others are just too wacked. There are plenty of better strange weather shows on the Weather Channel that actually focus on the science and less on the drama that no one wants. I don't watch this channel for drama and conspiracy theories and every day things like aircraft trails.

Breath of fresh air
imdb-reviews-12317 October 2021
Awesome visuals, good vibes in general, and all around just enjoyable to have on in the background.

Much better than a typical "cops" show, but with a similar mystery being solved, and much nicer visuals.

Absurd. Insulting.
Polly_Styrene7 April 2024
Echoing another poster, just looked up to watch a replication of a bridge that collapsed with no obvious reason. Ridiculous simulations with no bearing on the event, or bearing even on what they said they were trying to simulate. Did no one run the simulation BEFOR Ethey filmed it? I am a marketer but even I know that you can't simulate an underwater earthquake in a bathtub as the energy will be directed up due to the structure of the bathtub, instead of along the seafloor in a flat plane radius. This is not up to the standard of a high school science project and these people should stick to cosmetics reviews. I had such high hopes for the show.

Background Music Too Loud
bobwilsonexnuke19 December 2023
Background Music Too Loud So that the spoken words cannot be heard. We turn off the sound and read the closed captions. The post production editors need to be replaced. The actual video and subject matter is done well, but it is defeated by poor sound engineers. On another subject about some of the episodes is: Climate change is caused by natural warming since the last ice age. The other cause is overpopulation and illegal immigration. Please address the causes. Your description of disappearing beaches and natural solutions is incorrect. I can help you if you are interested. Beach sand is dynamic. It is placed and removed naturally. Engineered artificial solutions are the only way to protect and restore beach sand for bathers and surfing.
