    Overdramatic drivel.

    Interesting subject, but way too americanized and overdramatic show. Ridiculous narrator and music, who tries to make everything sound dramatic as F.

    Outback Opal Hunters S.5

    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!!

    The music is horrible

    I like the premise of this show. Are the opal finds staged...? I think probably. I have a hard enough time understanding Australian English. The most horrible music overplays the dialog...thus I give 5* out of 10. Lose the music and this would improve the show. However that will never happen with immature direction. This is what happens when you let children run the show.....

    Boring and incredibly REPETITIVE wannabee 'reality' show

    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.

    Unsafe in any language

    Wow, cannot believe how dumb these people can be. Most wear no safety glasses/goggles. They dig out under overhangs inviting collapse and drive into obvious bad road situations.. Avg IQ must be in the 50 range.
