Nostradamus: End of Days

Extensive cutting, very tiresome to watch. Terrible. Showing the same clips over and over again. Stopped watching after the first episode. If you want to have seizures, start bingewatching season one.

Where do I start? Nostradamus writings were so poorly translated in these programs.

Nostradamus is French, in France, making predictions from France 500 years ago, in his world, from his perspective, ( and he didn't even know the United States existed ) But these programs make out that almost every single thing he predicted happens somewhere in the United States.

For example, the place of theatres, if you are to look from nostradamus perspective, that would be Greece or Rome, not Hollywood. This program in incredibly frustrating to watch.

I was looking forward to this, especially since they're factoring in stuff from the recently discovered "Lost Book of Nostradamus" (there's only been one show on that a few years ago, which didn't go over many of the drawings). But this series is scientifically sloppy and ignorant, making absurd statements - such as one volcanic eruption being able to trigger a whole series of other volcanoes along the ring of fire (no, every volcano is totally individualistic), or that a Kilauea eruption would effect California (oh please, Kilauea eruptions barely effect the city of Hilo on the same island; also Kilauea magma is runny not highly explosive). This series is full of breath-taking poorly reasoned claims and seems more interested in being sensational than being intelligent. I also don't like the Nostradamus experts they have, except for Victor Baines. They're too much from the woo-woo brigade. This is disappointing because I know there are intelligent Nostradamus researchers out there who can explain how they arrive at their conclusions instead of just making grand declarations. For instance, why they think that "New City" is generally considered to refer to the US (what? I thought everyone considered that to be New York City - but no context or reasoning is given). They all think they know *just* what Nostradamus was thinking, and almost never give us reasoning how they got there. I'm still watching this for the very few of Nostradamus' quatrains and very few drawings from the "Lost Book of Nostradamus" they do refer to. But I have to put up with a lot of sensationalistic crap to get at these few interesting scraps.

I was tolerating watching this show until episide 2. I'm a fan of Nostradamus but his prophecies can be manipulated to match certain events. My problem with this episode is the section about Russia's Poseidon missile system attacking New York. Granted it would destroy the city but do these idiots believe the United States is not prepared for an attack like this???? If Russia were to attack, our nuclear missile systems would obliterate Moscow and most all of Russia. A Russian nuclear attack would cause the end the entire world! C'MON MAN!!!!

But what really gets me is they have 2 psychic mediums commenting on his predictions (Chip Coffey and Michelle Belanger). Uh, shouldn't they be able to "see" this? Not sure if I can watch any more of this series.

This is so hard to watch, basic story follows a man from 500 years ago that wrote down some riddles, sure there may be the coincidental happenings in the real world, but there is nothing to suggest that Nostradamus wrote of these events.

He wasn't a prophet. He says so himself, so why watch these doom and gloom wanna-be presenters that claim they know what these quatrains meant?

Nostradamus was clearly very well educated and there is that outside chance that he was a prophet, but there is nothing in his quatrains that suggests anything near what this show is claiming.
