The script writer has committed a crime
12 November 2022
This is stunning work by the camera crew. The factually incorrect script, filled with blatant lies and misdirection turns this into a work of poorly researched fiction.

Everyone involved in this show would be aware of the fact a wolf pack had 2 mothers give birth and 1 always stays at the den while the others search for food. Trying to make it seem like a den raiding was about to occur was nonsense.

Most "facts" were wrong, or obvious lies to push a narrative.

I wish these shows would emphasize the actual issues our planet is facing, such as habitat destroying and pollution everywhere. Climate has always changed on every planet that has ever existed. Storms and heat aren't the problem. Destroying animals source of food through developing nature into human habitat, and polluting the rest is a real issue we could actually all solve. Making storms regular is not a thing anybody can personally do anything about...So why waste time preaching about nonsense.

I'm a huge Will Arnett fan, but I hope he's properly embarrassed he was tricked into reading these lies. We all get fooled and make bad decisions sometimes Will.

Has stand up comedy died??
5 July 2022
I spent the whole time wondering how this could have been released as a finished product.

The only thing I came up with is that he has a big name, so every time he practiced this material he got laughs leading him to believe it was funny.

Is the 2 drink minimum making comics think their material is way better than it is?

Netflix keeps raising prices, canceling quality shows and pumping out garbage comedy and terrible reality TV.

I rage cancelled my subscription after seeing this attempt at a "special".

Some interesting information, but a chore to watch.
24 November 2021
It's truly a chore to watch documentary after documentary shot and edited in this "ancient aliens", repeat everything over and over, style.

Gone are the days where shows are created for people just looking for an informative show. No longer do they count on having something interesting, and then letting it stand on those merits. It's mystery, intrigue, drama, and repeating phrases over and over like the viewer needs to be reminded this is interesting.

If you watch this, be prepared.

So very disappointing.
9 June 2021
Filled with facts I learned well over 10 years ago. Sprinkled in some very rare new information, along with some director's idea of cool shots of people walking and totally unnecessary B footage.

It's like they took 1 episodes worth of info, and spread it out over a series. Then they sprinkled in some agendas, and bewildering choices of footage.

I was very excited to watch this, but ended up tapping out, and skipping ahead for most it in search of anything interesting.

Drain the Oceans (2018– )
3/10
Have I taken crazy pills?!
30 March 2021
I went on a binge of all the current "documentaries" on Disney+ recently and they are all basically unwatchable. They literally annoy you the whole way through. But you sit and deal with it for the few minutes of interesting information each episode.

I would easily pay to see these edited by a sane person. Music GONE. Repetitive narration, catchphrases GONE. Recapping what you just watched over and over GONE (and punishable by prison time).

It's like every documentary has this cookie-cutter template. I simply can't imagine anyone enjoying how they chose to edit these.

If you're up for some brutal punishment to see some interesting stuff, dive in, and have your trigger finger hovering over the fast-forward button, so you can keep skipping ahead.

...and don't forget to "Drain the Oceans"!

Who is making these?
30 March 2021
I would be so disappointed if I was one of the experts in this documentary, when I was showed how they edited it.

Are they making a Soap Opera or a documentary. The music made all of us watching laugh the whole time. The voiceover was like a parody of American Idol or something not related to this kind of topic. They just keep repeating the same "mysterious questions" that might get answered...and then of course it just ends.

There's about 5 minutes worth of interesting footage included, the rest is beyond filler. You know they had enough footage to pull from, that in the right hands, could have been edited to a proper documentary.

1 hour Documentary stretched to 3 hours
30 March 2021
Every scene is repeated about 6 times. Some to the point it was comical.

It could have been a nice, well edited, concise, amazing 1 hour documentary. But a simple 30 second scene is stretched out, repeating the age of 2,600 years over and over and over and over and over as an example.

I'm sure someone made this choice that wasn't part of the creative team...and shouldn't even be involved. Someone in the office, that needs to justify the existence of their position had their hands all over the editing.

I recommend fast forwarding constantly, you won't miss anything. It's not worth investing 3 hours of time.

This duo unfortunately got divorced last year
5 March 2021
The chemistry you see on screen that makes you feel uncomfortable, is from the secret only they know about...an inside joke if you will.

Now in 2021, the groups secrets are out, the duo split. Callen does a happy little Conspiracy show with a grifter, and Brundan Swab rotates in guests of whoever won't be embarrased to be a guest.

Here's hoping for a reunion for tFATk 4D!

Olympic Fund Telethon (1952 TV Special)
10/10
This was great!
5 March 2021
Definitely deserves a better rating here. I enjoyed it much more than Brandon Schwabs comedy experiment. Telethons are where it's at.

Hopefully there will be a reboot of this show, I could watch an updated version. Maybe starring Jerry Seinfeld, man that guy is great.

Doesn't feel like English is his first language
5 March 2021
Anyone know what his first language is? I could almost follow along the basic premise of most things...but the language barrier was a real obstacle.
