History's Greatest Mysteries

I can't believe all the negative reviews. I wonder if they have the attention span or desire for knowledge to absorb the information. I find this show captivating. A summary of past findings,followed by new info and possible breakthroughs. Excellent television in my opinion. And Laurence Fishburne is the perfect narrator.

Usually, I don't leave a review if I don't like a show. And this show isn't so bad that it made me leave a negative review... It just seems like it didn't really try very hard.

I watched the first 4 episodes. I usually love shows like this and have watched many of them. But, as others have said, this show offers nothing new. And, more importantly, it finds a way to make the rehashed subjects less interesting.

The show is very well produced , keeps you wanting more, and Lauren has the required voice and charisma Congrats for a great work

Of course we all love Laurence Fishburne, his epic voice and calm informative demeanor lend alot to this show, he's a great host! He just needs to keep his face shaved lol. White scruffy whiskers do nothing for no body lol. The show covers all kinds of very interesting topics in a thorough and interesting way because they explain all kinds of scientific theories and opinions and how things could be based in reality and then sometimes beer into the more eccentric narratives with aliens or mysterious supernatural phenomena which I also appreciate. I just wish they would stop hiring some of these gay men to do interviews..i do not want to listen to that or look at their crazy ugly outfits. Stick to the real experts and jouralists.

I just found this episode online and I'm working my way thru the first season. The episodes are just too long, boring and stretched out. Who came up with the 2 hour format? This series would be a 7-8 star at an hour. But 2 hours an episode? The stories are stretched out to the point of becoming boring. To me, a fair rating is in the 4-5 star range, depending on episodes. I feel like I'm being generous going with the higher number.
