Misterios de las profundidades, con Jeremy Wade

I've been a fan of Mr. Wade's programs from day one and he and I have exchanged a few emails about fly fishing, tying flies and Percy Fawcett.

This program is a huge disappointment. We occasionally see him standing or sitting on various rocks talking us through real life sea mysteries that have been discussed for years on other programs. Don't these people watch educational television? So far, every single subject has been raked over by other 'explorers' many times.

This, literally, looks like he's doing the program because he needs the cash, he just can't tear himself out from the front of the camera or his die hard women fans don't care what he talks about as long as there are plenty of 'up his nostrils' close ups.

Mr. Wade, it's time to retire or be a little more careful what jobs you accept. Sir Attenborough you are not.

As a keen watcher of Jeremy in his river monsters series I had high hopes for this. Sadly he's just the front man really. You get Jeremy intoducing the "mystery" (he's always standing on a rock in what looks like Cornwall) then you get the usual regurgitated, endless done to death Discovery type mystery story. You wont be much the wiser for watching this series, and you wont see much of JW either. It's ok if your bored, but if your hoping to to learn anything you'll be better off watching something else.

He is so calm and knows how to present whatever he wants to present... alot of the bad ratings is only based on old viewers... dont forget that there are alot of young people watching these kind of information programs who does not know about these things... Apart from David Attenborough, Jeremy Wade is next on my list of favorite TV presenters... everything today is a copy... its all about how you do the job and if you get out to the new and younger crowd... and Jeremy does that perfectly... yes he is not as involved in this as he is in his other work like River Monsters etc. But it was also his dream to be able to teach about freshwater monsters and the environment. Mysteries of the deep is awesome!

Nothing new or compelling here. It's all been done before and better. This is just a money grab, as they know there are people that are easily led. If they liked Wade in one show, they will watch him wipe his backside. River Monsters was very interesting and watchable, if overly melodramatic, and with way too much loud music. His other show, Dark Waters, though not close to River Monsters, was even better than this thing. Too much repetition within the show, too many "experts". They quick cut from "expert" to "expert" and allow each one to utter one sentence before moving to the next. The "experts" do not seem like "experts". Should stick with River Monsters format, as there are thousands of "presenters" out there that can review historical events and speculate.

I love this show. Don't get me wrong. But it tends to lean towards sensationalism much like the national enquirer. After watching several episodes I have noticed That facts are often left out. They kept showing a "famous" picture that has been long scene proven fake. But wasn't mentioned during the show. And survivor under water. Air bubble.
