    It's on Netflix UK at the moment. Really good

    What with COVID-19 grounding everyone at the moment, this is some great watching. Goes into all different top secret areas, each episode is a new theme. Documentary-style, with interviews with former FBI / Government Agencies who reveal what they can.

    Fast & loose with the facts

    The show is good fun, making the world around us seem a lot more interesting than it probably really is. In return, the show frequently strays from widely accepted history & reality. If you are the type of person that recognizes the things that are too good to be true (or at least spends the time to look it up to confirm), these kinds of shows are basically harmless fun. Unfortunately, and you can tell this from some of the reviews, many people assume that the material is true because this is "History" presented by academic-ish sounding people! I am as fascinated by area 51, fort knox, and the like as everyone else is...but the truth is sadly so mundane that if they made a TV series out of many of these things, almost nobody would watch!

    Historical fiction can be good fun.

    Not even bothering

    I only had to read the descriptions of a few episodes and watch 15 minutes of the first to realize this "docuseries" is nothing but a conglomerate of conspiracy theories, urban myths, etc. It's a shame what has happened to the History Channel. It used to be about historical events but has gotten totally dumbed down over the years. It would be great to have a really good History Channel or network. PBS does its best but runs on such a limited budget it's amazing what they are able to produce. Bring back the HC from early days of cable and let us see some in-depth, well-produced documentaries!!!

    educational and fun show

    This is a really educational and fun show. I wouldn't say most of it's really a secret, it's just a lot of conspiracy theory and odd type of stuff you don't hear about every day. To give you an idea, some titles of the episode are Secrets of Fort Knox, the White House, the mafia, the CIA etc. Most of it, as I said it stuff you may have read in the paper or seen on the news, but there are some juicy tid-bits thrown in each episode, enough to keep me coming back for more. If you are interest in American history, this is just the show for you. Unfortunately, I think there was only about 20 episodes or so. The History Channel has shows in this vein all the time though. I think there's one coming out called "The United Stuff of America"

    😳

    I am totally convinced that everything presented in this show is completely true.

    Not sure about some of the credits at the end though.
