Beyond Oak Island

I'm excited for this show, i really love these old crazy men and the history and the stuff they find. I really hope they actually do find some sort of treasure! They gotta make that money back from oak Island lol! The only thing i don't like is its only usa stuff and considering they are on Canadian soil for most of the year and oak Island is all about Canada and is in Canada they should include stories from Canada or from around the world. And they don't mention women from history. The first episode was about pirates and there was several well known successful female ones and no mention at all about them..

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.

I actually, maybe foolishly, thought they'd be delving into the mysteries and trying to solve some stuff but nope. They just go over the history of each treasure-mystery, then for about maybe 10 minutes end up going to the site and look around and ponder, maybe do some metal-detecting, look at some rocks, find a rusty bullet-casing or carving and go "Oh! There must definitely be something to this mystery if we'd keep digging!" and then they leave.

Major disappointment. Major bore.

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

Someone please Gorilla Tape Matty Blake to the boat seat. And while you're at it, put an extra large piece of it across his mouth.

Matty makes these BOI episodes extremely uncomfortable to watch. He just comes off as a total sycophant. Hey guys. Can we go diving yet? Can we? Can we? Can we?

When they finally do, you can see the trepidation in the other crew members when the divers hit the water and Matty takes the comm and becomes the man in charge. It's like these divers have been on the bottom for 10 seconds and Matty is already hounding them. Everything all right down there? Find anything yet? How's it going?

Diving is serious business. If I had some jamoke hounding me on the comm line every 15 seconds, I'd be very tempted to surface and promptly toss him overboard. TV show or no TV show.

Nothing ruins a documentary faster than a producer that inserts himself into the documentation. Give the basics of the story and then get out of the way and let the experts take it from there.
