Oro y codicia: En busca del tesoro de Fenn

This show is awesome!! I highly recommend watching! This show kept me on the edge of my seat. Just when you think you have the outcome figured out, the plot turns upside down! It was non-stop excitement. The ending was really a surprise. I cant believe what some people went through to find a chest worth millions! This was defined a unique documentary on an unusual event. I've never seen anything like it. I also highly recommend reading the book Beyond The Map's Edge to find the next treasure! I really hope the author writes more books. Hopefully I'll be able to go hunt for this new treasure soon! 5 stars!!!

An interesting docuseries about Forrest Fenn and his buried treasure in the Rocky Mountains. I have no problem with Mr. Fenn. He seems like a genuinely good person and I give him credit for the life he created for himself.

My problem is with the arrogant, mind-numbingly stupid people who call themselves treasure hunters. The ignorant hillbilly Hurst family. What a joke these people are. They really believe they're intelligent, important individuals. This couldn't be further from the truth. They thought Mr Fenn would leave them something in his wiland were crying when the lawyer said he had no idea who they are. The Hursts are the perfect representation of what's wrong with America. Too much ego, no brains.

The Meacham woman is basically an admitted whore. She's disgusting.

Justin Posey is a spoiled rich brat who surrounds himself with things to make him look smart, but unfortunately, his ego gets in the way, just like the others.

Good docuseries if you can stomach the ignorance and ego.

This show is one of the dumbest that I have ever seen. It's the new, "Tiger King". Characters that you love to hate but still watch. I felt embarrassed for almost everyone. And I had no knowledge of the entire thing.

It is an incredibly sad story. There are so many mentally ill people involved in this mess. It's also sad that media were all over this. They promoted the madness.

I can't say whether or not someone should watch this or not. If "Tiger King" intrigued you, then watch. It's a similar feel. And why in the world IMBD requires such long submissions is beyond me. Maybe not all shows need a lengthy review.

Okay. So I love documentaries and especially weird documentaries and this certainly falls into that category.

It's about a treasure hunt that goes spectacularly off the rails... including causing the deaths of four people.

That's assuming this is, in fact, true. I do have my doubts.

Seriously, the people we meet are so bizarre one almost has to wonder if this isn't scripted. The doofus rednecks, the tough retired woman, the obviously wealthy dude who has a lot of time on his hands, the upright 747 pilot with his upright family.

That's not to mention the crusty old creep who buries the treasure the others are trying to find.

Thank god I don't have that treasure hunting gene. I saw it in action when I was growing up in St Paul during the "Winter Carnival" when they would bury a medallion and put clues in the newspapers. But I digress..

On a serious note, this is a bit long. It could have easily been shortened to one or two episodes. It gets a bit boring and slow.

But it is watchable and entertaining. The "characters" I mention above are interesting if over-the-top.

AND... AND THIS IS IMPORTANT. You need to watch the ending. The very ending. And then decide for yourself... is it real??? It is quite a thing at the ending and it took me by surprise.

You will need to decide for yourself, and if you ARE one of those people who has the treasure hunting gene -- beware.

I started this thinking I'd get a quirky treasure hunt tv show. What I got was a front-row seat to the slow, painful meltdown of logic. People sobbing over rocks, detonating boulders like they're in a low-budget Bond movie, and treating vague poetry like gospel. I swear, every minute I watched, a brain cell packed its bags and left. This wasn't a hunt for treasure-it was a televised mass delusion. By the end, I needed a map just to find my will to live. If common sense was buried out there, nobody found it. But hey, at least now I know how not to read a poem. X marked the spot where sanity died.
