Beyond Oak Island

Too scripted, with Matty being such a blatent brown-noser and the two Lagina brothers so full of themselves, it's difficult to take seriously.

I had it at 4 stars, but while writing this, decided to drop to three.

Only seen the first episode, but it seems to be padded out even worse than the Curse of Oak Island. They are using the same contrived reactions where anything they need to emphasise shows the same reaction (sharp look sideways to whoever is nearby). This is boring now. The Oak Island series feels overstretched now and this feels like a step too far.

I know. This is on the HISTORY Channel and should be about history, but I was expecting the folks to spend more time in the present 'digging' up history. In the second episode, they spent almost 30 minutes talking about the exploits of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (and even the Dalton Gang), but less than 15 minutes of Gary Drayton being on location searching for anything. Seems like they need too much filler material in the episodes somewhat like they do with The Curse of Oak Island and fill it in with old material from previous seasons

THEIR business plan. Not YOURs. On paper this makes sense.What started as a simple search for treasure on Oak Island, supposed to last a season or two, has become a multi-year never-ending story. In the BUSINESS of syndicated TV, the only way to cash in on that is to spin-off something with the same actors, crew, producers etc. Big bucks. As long as the customers ... err ... viewers ... go for it ....?

I watched the first episode of this and I have absolutely no desire of ever returning to it. Everything felt a bit like padding and there was no actual treasure hunts until the end in a place called Hendrick's lake. But the worst part is that it didn't have a bloody ending. They all got excited over what they think could be a wagon full of silver at the bottom of this lake, saw irregular shapes on a solar scan and a diver found a part of a wagon wheel but they couldn't investigate further because a random storm suddenly happened that apparently they knew about before but didn't mention. And then, it ended. They literally said they'd go back in a couple days but no, there was absolutely no resolution. They didn't even just pull up a bit of junk, there was nothing to close it off. It was just like, oh, we can't do it today? Okay, I guess we end the show then. I really don't recommend watching this, just watch something better. There are probably better things exactly like this on the history channel, so watch those.
