I had the sensation of feeling stupid when I watched Episode 1, and I'm uncertain as to how to prevent this. Watching through a sideways squint with wrinkled nose did not seem to help; nor did watching over the top of my glasses with fingers pressed together. Part of it is certainly the cliche "ominous music" (as I'm sure the closed cation would say on Netflix) which is known to accompany any serious scientific investigation. The people in it seemed more like overpaid actors than investigators. And it made me go to Google to see if they had any credentials they were selling out. And I don't mean to denigrate the stories under investigation themselves.
But it's a shame, because I came to this series on the word of Chris Bledsoe, whom I find to be a sincere author and experiencer (whose property will be investigated in a later episode). I had read how Chris and his family were mistreated by a years-ago Discovery/MUFON documentary, which revealed itself to be a cynical sham for ratings. Well, based in this History show, it seems ratings are still king, though this time they may be targeting the gullible rather than the cynical.
