Les Enquêtes extraordinaires

Someone commented that the revamped version of 'UM' reminds them of "Dateline," which I find to be an apt comparison. Though I will say the first and fifth episodes are exceptions; the latter for more obvious reasons. The former episode was great and reminded me of the original series. Yes, it was a whodunit, but other aspects were brought in. For example, how was the victim killed? It was under very unusual circumstances and shrouded by mystery, oh and the Freemasons!!! Despite them going down a more "Dateliney" path for most of the other episodes, I still enjoyed the program overall and give them kudos for trying something different. 7/10...Good, not great.

No narrator was a disappointment, couple of the episodes where grueling long feel like they could have made each story 30 mins.

Can someone help me to understand why they blew out s4 like this with horrible boring old story and a moth man ?!??

Like there is no real crime happening in the world ?!! So they had to dig up a case from 1977 and interview a bunch of stupid people about a mothman? :))) By the way I'm always wondering why all these supernatural stories happen in the us ? Is it the level of intelligence of average people or what ?!? From UFO, Big food, shape shifter or whatever mystical creature are all been seen in the united state ?! But Mothman ?!? It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard ! And why none has a picture of any of these ? Or a video ?! Fortunately everyone has an iPhone nowadays.... Soooooo disappointing....

Not here to compare the old with the new. Obviously the prior speaks for itself and is iconic. That being said, the newer version still delivers the mystery, suspense, and Eerie experiences each episode. I recommend approaching the new installment with an open mind.

An interesting watch, I find this kind of storytelling quite strange, maybe because I'm British, but the thought of sensationalising real life crimes does seem somehow distasteful, but I'm sure we'd all want answers to questions concerning the death of a loved one, particularly when those answers aren't available.

The crimes are all fascinating, the first few in particular truly had my attention, the UFO story was BS, and felt really out of place here.

Entertaining as someone looking from the outside, but I feel for those on the inside, apart from the one guy, who has guilt written all over his face.
