The real phenomena covered by this series *could* have made for a great show, if they'd just stuck to the facts, raw footage, and scientific explanations. But no. Like other Weather Channel series, this show's producers treat the audience like they are either small children or too dumb to appreciate science, so they augment all of the raw photos and videos with fake sound effects, stock footage of people running and screaming, clips literally taken from movie scenes, and interviews with a wide variety of scientists, pseduo-scientists, conspiracy theorists, and charismatic, uneducated individuals who offer nothing more than ridiculous, middle-school theories about what *could* be an explanation a small portion of a video clip that the viewer can see with their own eyes that the theory doesn't even match was was recorded.
I would love for them to have a made a serious show about these phenomena with serious scientific analysis. But instead, I can feel my IQ dropping while watching this. This is one of those rare shows that is more enjoyable by muting it and skipping past the discussions. They are that bad.
