Into the Unknown

"Into The Unknown" is a wonderful series! Narrator Cliff Simon does an extraordinary job educating viewers by simultaneously exploring folklore and legends, as well as the geography of the locations he visits. From the Louisiana bayou to California's infamous Mt. Shasta, you certainly dont want to miss these wild adventures into the wild and into legend.

I don't know why shows like this get purchased it's based on pure rubbish and just mumbo jumbo BS.. Look at the science not make crap up based on hearsay. Provide some evidence and an scientific explanations and it might be worth watching.

Sure, I'm interested in paranormal and all kind of mysteries. I had big expectations for this show, but it didn't live up to them.

The host is shown to be something like little arrogant wanna be superhero. That Cliff Simon I know is NOT like that. Or maybe I haven't seen that side of him before? I don't know if that was intended but that is the impression I get from the show.

Then the music that has put on the footage. No. It just annoying. Maybe it should create some tension or excitement, but the problem is that I don't know if the sounds I hear are coming from the "soundtrack" or do they belong to the actual footage. This makes the show look and feel phony. And editing is bad. They used same waterfall footage in two different episodes. In Brown Mountain lights and in the Night Marchers. Why? Come on, that's underestimating the viewers.

If this wasn't hosted by Cliff Simon I would have stopped watching after one episode. This is my honest opinion. Did not meant to be rude. Just constructive criticism.

I love the new Travel Channel series Into the Unknown with Cliff Simon. I always enjoy stories of mysterious places that could have a possible paranormal connection. Cliff is an excellent storyteller (and dreamy to watch I must add) and brings you through your TV right into his adventures! Now, there are times you'll think, "oh hell no", when Cliff journeys into some insane areas, and it HAS to be in the dark of night! Each Monday night, I'm left wanting more. Cliff, come to Texas and try to solve our weird mysterious places. I'll be your guide!

This is not some stupid, uneducated show that fakes or hypes evidence. This show is as much about the folklore, as it is about one man's JOURNEY to discover the unknown. This is not, "Finding Bigfoot (2011)". I think this might have been better on, "The Science Channel," because it is a bit more high brow, and focuses more on educating the masses, instead of what the Travel Channel does, which is dumb them down (also has NOTHING to do with travel anymore). People who say it is "boring" or lacking, should go watch something like Mountain Monsters (2013), it will be more their speed. Almost half of the show (like the old "Cacciatori di fantasmi (2008)" when Nick was still on) is about the history & folklore of a place. But people who don't understand or need the backstory, or more likely, can't sit still long enough to listen to it, won't like this. It's depressing to lose shows like this, with smart, adventurous people. I believe the host of this show died doing some kind of extreme sports. He was out living a real life, while the rest of us just sit and watch, with phones in our hands. We need more shows like this, and like Lost in the Wild (2019).
