Darker Passages

DarkER Passages had some interesting theories this showing. Some of what was shown was enough to give me goosebumps. I also seen Dark Passages and although I liked it I didn't love it. For this continuation I think it was better then the original. Ghosts and Jim Jones and cursed things are all highlighted in these episodes and they just felt a little more interesting to me. The cast appear to be mostly the same with some new faces for good measure. I swear the person narrating this was the ghost of Robert Stack from Unsolved Mysteries. :D A good show if you're into creepy doc style shows. 7/10.

This was a pretty good show even if a little dramatic sometimes. Especially Mr. Connery. I can't tell if he is excited or angry but he is fun to watch. The show takes normal people and they talk about paranormal things like spirits and curses. They even have an episode about different cults and add a supernatural twist to it. I am in no way saying I believe everything in the show but it is a fun and interesting take on things sometimes. My favorite episode is probably the one about curses but the ghost episode is pretty good. If you are looking to just turn off your brain and watch this show is pretty entertaining sometimes. I also liked that the episodes do not overstay their welcome.

If you are wondering what this shows equivalent would be if it were a magazine or newspaper it would be the tabloids. The show picks a topic and goes to town with it. It can be a little. What I can appreciate is the information and amount of detail in some of these theories. There are some nice connections made for those poor souls who want to believe this. At best Dark Passages was mildly entertaining. At its worst points it fell a little short of the mark. This docuseries still filled some time.

Best episode for me was the one about the cults followed by the one about ghosts. Not a bad independent production but not a great one either.

I don't think this show deserves an 8, but it probably deserves a little more than a 7, so my actual rating is 7.5. Darker Passages will not change the world or expand your mind to unimaginable levels, but it is a pretty alright show. Its expansion on some things, like ghosts and cults, and its addition of a paranormal twist to things you would not expect are fun ideas. This show is pretty much the same ilk as the Unexplained or Ancient Aliens and fits right in to the current explosion of TV documentary series. I watched it over the course of a week and would recommend it to people just looking for some easy entertainment who like this sort of thing.

This second swing of strange and unusual stories and ideas comes out swinging and you quickly pick up that the production value was higher this time around. This is a continuation of 'Dark Passages' which I enjoyed.

The episode 'Are you my ghost' was an interesting take on hauntings and ghosts in general and the 'You watch you die' was creepy enough. All the familiar faces make a return as well as some new ones.

Much like Dark Passages 1 I'm not sure where I stand on if I believe everything they say but that is the point. Make your own decisions. At least what I seen was entertaining and pieced together expertly.

'History's Greatest Mysteries' 'Oak Island' and 'Book Of Secrets" fans should enjoy this non Hollywood showcase of the weird and unusual.
