    Fantastic Show

    This is a great show!! Look forward to watching it every time it comes on!! Keep up the great work Mr. Englund!!

    Had high hopes

    Such a disappointment. I'm a huge cryptozoology fan and I had such high hopes for this show but it failed so badly. Cheesy doesn't even come close to describing how poorly these stories are presented and the fact that the details of the stories don't even match historical accounts is really slack. Just sensationalised entertainment being passed off as something more.

    Boring AF, takes place in 1800s Old West, tedious to watch, I keep looking at the time and pausing the show because Robert England's narration puts me in a stupor

    I'm sorry fans of this actor, I'm sure he's otherwise lovely but his way of delivering his lines here, his voice and the rest of this show puts me to sleep! There's only been 1 episode that I found interesting, so I tried to watch more, but the fact that it's divided into 3 stories doesn't even help to pick up the pace: stories are slow-paced, some of the actors are over the top but I think the most boring thing here is that it takes place in the old west; we're talking 1800s and I have zero affinities for that history! ZZZzzz you can be sure I never had any past lives over there LOL

    in conclusion I'm glad it was canceled.

    Really like it!!!

    I really like the show!!! I'm not sure if I'm dreaming but I thought this should be season 2??? I watched a bunch of episodes last year... Not sure what the tv networks are doing? Anyone else confused as I am? From what I see it is new episodes though!!!
