Lost Monster Files

This new scientific approach to locating zoological specimens that have yet to be identified or have been previously unknown to science is refreshing. From the opening of the show, it's was fast paced and covered a lot of ground. The researchers involved each bring different skills to the table to apply Ivan Sanderson's files in the hunt for these unidentified specimens. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the interaction between the researchers and the discussions that bring them to their conclusions. The eye witnesses definitely experienced something that is unexplainable to them. The research ties their stories together and brought a coherent conclusion to the evidence. Bravo. Well done.

To be honest, I was super excited for this, I love lore and myths so I thought to give it a go.

However, it felt flat for me really quick. I didn't buy the "actors" behaviors, it felt way to fake for me which annoyed me from the get go. I continued watching mainly for the stories, but just to realise that it's a show like most others where they talk about these "monsters", find eccentric personalities to go out and search for them just to find absolutely nothing at all. For me this show only works as a background noise when I have nothing else to watch, I'm quite disappointed and hopefully something better shows up in the future.

Love how professional the show is. Love the cast. Experts in their related fields , the guys Justin and Troy have over 30 years experience as animal / wildlife behavioral specialists . Showcases how they all have their own take on the subject whether skeptics or believers and discuss their points of view. The cryptozoologist has over 20 years in the field of cryptozoology and she's a Ufologist as well.

I love how this show takes on a real take of investigations with real people family members who live and breathe animals . They own and train exotic animals that live on each of their properties . This cast is the real deal.

Someone commented about a funny behind the scene with siblings goofing off and were offended by it. It was hysterical and genuine . To each their own, but they were extremely out of their minds with that comment . Just going outside their home they must be offended 🤣 Can't wait for the next episode !!!!!! Keep up the good work.

Like most shows of this kind, they go around the country investigating some of the creatures from folklore. Unlike other shows they use the library of research from Sanderson to Jumpstart their investigations. Most of the hosts appear to keep open minds during these searches. They interview witnesses, look for evidence, and delve into some of the lore of the creatures. While open to possibilities the cast mostly keep a practical and scientific eye, except one. Brittany, the cryptozoologist, constantly argues no matter what the evidence says that it could be a cryptid. While it is good to not write off other explanations, she consistently writes off everything and assumes all things are true and everything is really just a cryptid and they just didn't find it this time. She's obnoxious and you can tell at times the other investigators are quite annoyed by her. She's the only one who constantly seems like the dumb one and entirely out of place.

It's wonderful that there's a new cryptid show that highlighting the work and voice of Ivan Sanderson. Being able to watch and hear him while the cast explores his life's work is really something special.

The cast is an interesting mix of personalities. I like that there isn't consensus between them when discussing the animals and that they each have their own takes. Only the chupacabra episode has aired so far, but if it's any indicator of the quality of witnesses they bring on, I think we're in for a real roller coaster. The lady with the taxidermy was compelling and analytical while the rest were what you might expect at a local watering hole. I think that blend was perfect.

I have high hopes for the future of this show - great cast, compelling witnesses, and really well put together.

A good show for any fan of cryptozoology!
