Review by txriverotter

The main host is Nick Groff. Nick learned at the feet of Zac Bagans, who is not a paranormal investigator of any kind, and not a good showman. Nick's overuse of hackneyed cliches, trying to look cool and be some sort of paranormal superhero, is very hard to watch. It's so obvious he's trying to come off as badass.

But Katrina seems serious about her craft, and I don't understand why she's on his show and not her own. She's a much better as an investigator, in my opinion, and doesn't exaggerate everything. She's also empathetic with the living and the dead, and doesn't treat what she does solely as a form of entertainment, but rather trying to help people.

They've gotten some really interesting evidence and some amazing contact, and it's unnecessary to go overboard trying to make it more exciting. It's already exciting, and better when it's real.

I wish Nick had left Zac Bagans, and also left his "style" behind when he went out on his own. Instead it seems he took all the worst parts of Zac's ridiculous stunts, and has incorporated them into his show in a slightly different way. I'm waiting for him to get "possessed" like Zac does in every episode of his show.

Something else that bothers me is his constant mansplaining to Katrina. I know they explain what equipment they're using in every episode, so people who may be new and haven't watched previously will understand, but that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm referring to almost every time Katrina explains something, whether it's about some evidence they've captured or some history they've learned about a location, Nick will repeat exactly what she's just said back to her, but in slightly different terms as if he's giving her new information. It's just annoying af.

Also, he does a LOT of I, me, my when narrating or talking to the camera, as if he's the only one doing any of the investigating. And the way they're listed on the show is, ttderhe's the Host and Katrina is the co-host. Why aren't they both listed as co-hosts? It's all about ego.

I don't understand all the adoration for Nick in these reviews. He's not a bad guy, but he seems much more about entertaining than investigating and getting answers, or helping people.

I wish Katrina and Heather Taddy would get a show, with Michelle Belanger on every episode as the team medium. And I know Travel the Dead is on YouTube, and it's good, but I mean a show on regular television. I would watch every episode.
