Oro y codicia: En busca del tesoro de Finn

Tells you more about the contemptible attitude that the aforementioned company has for its perceived demographic . To look at the characters ( mainly in the whole ) who chase this nonsense around the same area you , can see that the perpetrator is having many perverse episodes watching this mayhem unfold . There is nothing surprising about how low ( individuals with low IQ's ) will demean themselves in pursuing these whimsies . Some of them are arrested for trespass , stalking , threats to life , etc . Then you have the guy ( who wears a professional uniform in his career ) get bit in the face whilst goading a snake ?!

The race to the bottom begins here folks .

As much Moby Dick as Treasure of the Sierra Madre, this is one of those spellbinding docs that expands its canvas the further it gets. Starting as a real, life treasure hunt initiated by a narcissistic, old man in an attempt to " stay relevant" in his old age, the story quickly evolves into one of human obsession, imagination, hope and, in the end, reconciliation. It is the story of America and her sense of destiny, desire for something better, determination and heart as big as Montana. Easy to dismiss as the foolhardy misadventures of a bunch of sad, delusional misfits but that would be a mistake. Each of the four " hunters" we follow have their own personal reasons for putting themselves through the trials they do. Their stories are crazy, delusional and utterly admirable in some ways. An extraordinary and compelling series. Highly recommended.

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.

A not-put-together-very-well catalogue of how far some people went to find buried treasure in the hopes of improving their lives. Particularly the family of 3 men who spent two years trying to excavate a boulder. I couldn't watch them recount their experiences, but I couldn't look away either. Overall my heart was sad for them because you could actually feel their train-wreck determination, followed by the pit of despair.

Much was left unsaid, especially by the aloof family members of Forest Fenn. You couldn't help think they were full of BS.

Perhaps I dozed off with sheer frustration, but there is a big gap in the the facial-recognition guys offer being accepted by the auctioneers, to it not. Huh? Yet the dragon bracelet and other things were in HIS re-hide box? Wtf?

It was poorly filmed, and had many nut jobs akin to Tiger King. It's the kind of thing that by the end you want kick yourself for watching the whole thing.

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.
