Outback Opal Hunters

Season 1-4 was 'real', it was exciting & broadcast genuine people. Until Season 5! Adding pathetic actors, being "The Bishop & his wierd sidekick Scott" that just want to blow everything up, acting skills 2/10 🙄 & "The Opal Whisperers" are pathetic & the "Misfits" are just paid actors.

Why ruin a great show & try to turn it into yet another "fake reality" Very disappointing!! Bring back the old REAL cast!!

REPETITIVE to a degree that is ANNOYING even half-way through the first season and it gets worse every season. At the start of each episode ( which is 44 minutes long before all the garbage is added ), 5 minutes wasted on what we saw last episode....5 minutes wasted at the end telling us what we're going to see and ON AND ON throughout the endlessly boring episodes we hear the same stuff about how rare they are, how dangerous it is...., how they are made ...how the people who search for them are special ( hint...if you want to see THOUSANDS of people just like these go to Vegas....gamblers are a dime a dozen.) Occasionally they find something worthwhile but mostly there is a huge musical clue that something 'exciting' is going to happen and it isn't very exciting. This series would best be used as a university class on how to take an interesting subject and BEAT IT TO DEATH. Horrible waste of time.

Having spent some time down a few holes in opal mines, I can tell you that the vast majority of those who go chasing opals are nowhere near as lucky as the mob portrayed in this series. Funny that every team that ventured down in search of opal found it! If it happened to be as easy as that to find opal, the stone would be worthless.

Talk about manufactured garbage for the mass, dumb market ... this stuff is just about as believable as the television show "Married at First Sight" and the movie "The Blue Lightning".

It's the "opal" version of Deadliest Catch or Ice Road Truckers. And just like in the other series, nothing really happens. The voice-over tries to emphasize some urgency - running out of money or time - and creates some sort of tension: "Have they found a real big opal?" And - of course - they haven't. So the episode soldiers on from location to location, about 3 or 4 in total. At the end of the episode none of the lives has really changed - except for mine since I lost about 40 minutes of my time.

Cool to see real life treasure hunters doing there thing love the young guys giving it a go.
