Imdbilitated

Obviously this show was produced by the same people that made the "Mysteries From Above" series, complete with the same DEI "Science Communicator" wearing the crooked hat. I always wanted to learn history and science from a guy who looks like he didn't quite make it through the 9th grade. Thanks for making all my dreams come true!

Although their fake experts reading inane scripts aren't quite as overacted and intolerable as their 'Mysteries From Above" shows, it's still a fail. Great topics are presented through an annoying script that will exceed your patience for red herring filibusters and BS. If you want to listen to six minutes of obviously incorrect BS hypotheses followed by three minutes of correct analysis, this is your series. Repeat ad nauseam.

I've binge-watched every episode and I'm looking forward to the upcoming season. This ranch is full of mysterious events.

However, as a science-minded viewer, I'm a bit surprised that Dr. Taylor is so quick to jump to many incredible conclusions while observing the oddities of the ranch. Some of it could eventually be attributed to new discoveries of the natural world, metallurgy, meteorites, novel geologies, hydrology and even nearby human activities including potential pranks from others (flashing lights, night drones, etc.). There's insufficient evidence to rule these out.

Some things that frustrate me include the following:

They've observed dozens of orb-like "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" in the same patch of sky, spanning multiple seasons of the show. Yet, they still haven't set up a professional camera with a massive optical ZOOM to get better images! Season after season, we see them admiring the same pea-sized images of shimmering objects with no new information.

Also, they found an unusual canine carcass in the stream but saved only a jaw-bone for professional analysis. With all the talk about dead livestock, Skinwalkers and even extinct donkey-sized Dire Wolves, I was surprised they didn't hold their nose and bag up that whole carcass to give the experts more than a jaw bone for analysis. Biologists study rotting carcasses all the time, through necropsies, etc. This was another missed opportunity to document something potentially new to science. DNA analysis? Nope.

What about their camera that couldn't "crawl" into the bore hole in the mesa? Did they grab some pvc pipes and just PUSH it into the mesa? No, they gave up.

Lastly, their stalling drill rigs and ground-penetrating radars keep finding anomalies sometimes only a few feet deep, yet they still haven't put on their lead aprons, tin-foil hats and DUG the damn mesa to see what's there. This makes no sense to me. If the drill rig isn't getting the job done, use a backhoe. It's not that deep. Let's see what's underground, already. Then we can move on to the next mystery. There seem to be many on the ranch.

As someone who loves to watch documentaries, I was tricked into attempting this one. Each mysterious place requires a lengthy buildup of repetitious, rhetorical questions from a series of fake experts, followed by two or three garbage hypotheses before you're finally rewarded for your legendary patience for this BS..

My well-calibrated fast-forward finger was twitching the whole time, but to no avail. It was simply no match! The overly dramatic filibusters are impenetrable.

No matter how much you may hate yourself, it's not enough. You can't possibly finish this series. I dare you to try! If I were on life-support with this playing in the background, I would awaken to unplug my machines.
