Files of the Unexplained

Several bizarre, unexplained stories, unanswered mysteries, including UFO sightings and apparent sea ghosts.

If ever a series disappointed me, it was this one, I was expecting something along the lines of Unsolved Mysteries, and for the most part, it feels like a series made my conspiracy theorists and cranks.

With every episode I felt my brain cells dying, there are very few voices of reason, way too many cranks.

I can deal with outrageous theories when they're delivered with a little bit of humour, or a tongue in cheek attitude, but we're made to thing that half of this nonsense is fact, it's excruciating.

It's funny that not one of them comes from Australia or The UK, or France etc, why do all the bonkers things only happen in The States, all I'm asking is why?

If I were reviewing two specific episodes, namely Missing Yuba County Five and Bizarre blobs of Washington, I would be giving a more moderate review, as both were really interesting, both held my attention.

Just watch the two mentioned episodes, skip the rest.

4/10.

The unexplained subject is not hard to delve into in show form . Unsolved mysteries with Robert Stack and more recently the unexplained series with William Shatner prove that. Those shows are on a level of their own with intriguing hosts that hold the whole thing together and amazing lot detailed accounts and research. The interviews feel real and not staged by paid actors. This show feels like it's a bunch of paid average joes recounting their dull recounts of unexplained phenomena with even more uninteresting lack of research and attention holding content . This show is like watching paint dry.

These series have a nice title and decent thumbnail and that's it.

Looks like it was made in a hurry. Like creators had two good stories and added a few terrible ones just to fill the series quota as fast as possible.

To me personally the worst part is that woman's voice narration in an annoying ,,housewifes series,, style. Like she's literally trying to bore viewers out of their minds. Just so unfitting.

It doesn't deserve to be even close to Unsolved Mysteries to which everyone is comparing it to.

I have to say I wouldn't recommend watching this.

Oh and also the direction is very bad (lots of missing information, nonconsistency..).

Episode 1 is 100% as authentic and real as you can get, I've studied UFOlogy for years. We need to start listening to people and believing them. So to the skeptics and non believers, I genuinely feel sorry for you. I've woken up. Let's stop living in The Matrix. To Calvin, I believe you. I know too much already. I've researched about your story for years. You're so incredibly brave. The shadow government will probably sadly delete this comment one day. They don't want us to wake up and maybe there's good reason, I honestly don't know. If anyone ever calls anyone else 'crazy' or 'mentally unwell' after they talk about their experiences, you need to have a good at yourself, and you are most certainly not welcome in my life. Let's watch, listen and learn, and have a heart. This world is too divided it's truly heartbreaking. We need to come together as one and create a better world through unity and harmony.

Instead addressing mysteries it's lectures on social justice especially the Myrtle's. It frequently turns into a word salad of all the buzz words of the social woes of the south.

Beyond that it drags, ideas are repeated frequently. Each episode has enough content to occupy about 5 minutes that they stretch into 40 minutes.

Lots of TikTok videos about the focus of the episode. Is that your source? Because we all know social media is the go to source for accurate and verified information.

Also, the Lake Lanier episode does as great job of lumping all of us Natives into one homogenous group who only have one thought, one speak and one voice. Tired of the same old trope of Indian deaths produce ghost stories. Ridiculous. Insulting. Garbage.
