Good movie but grossly overrated

Fresh and Exciting

Beautiful, moving film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I've watched some episodes of this show, and it seems that like all the other shows with the same premise, whatever it is the host is looking for never, ever gets found. Yeah, there's great scenery, and lots of interesting information, but it becomes very irritating, show after show, when there is never any payoff. "Reality" TV is such BS anyway; I'd rather they just present it as a documentary.

Apart from the slight educational aspect, this show is frankly a total waste of time. An intriguing mystery is presented, a long and sometimes disjointed hunt ensues and the end result is.... absolutely nothing at all.I certainly haven't seen every episode and I won't see any more, but the six or seven I have sat through all ended up with a fat lot of nothing. Nothing exciting found, nothing new found and no new knowledge gained.I suppose that if you knew nothing about the subject matter to begin with, you'd at least be a tiny bit wiser by the end of the programme, but watching a traditional documentary would have taught you a whole lot more in the same time.

So happy Josh and co are back. Love the show. I look forward to his adventures and silly nature. Keep up the great work! Love all the info you uncover.. research that we as viewers would never know. Getting the local folks involved is a great way to learn more about a subject. I"m glad the show is strictly Josh an not a bunch of other tag a longs that have no personality like on destination truth. Josh is likable and makes the show fun to watch while learning about history. So far this season Robin hood was really fun to watch unfold! King Arthur was just as interesting. Genghis Chan.. not so much But I will keep on watching as I really enjoy the show. Travel Channel did itself a favor when adding Josh Gates to the lineup

Gates must be one of the more personable hosts on TV today. The premise is basically the same as his former show Destination Truth on SyFy; insofar as as with Destination Truth the show starts with some spurious rumour and homemade 'newspaper article' relating to some 'lost' artefact or place (as opposed to a mythical creature in DT) followed by Gates heading off around the globe in search of the artefact or place, followed closely by Gate's goofing around while he gets down on the the more serious track of the legends, which he then hunts down in the most annoyingly melodramatic ways possible. All in all while the content is hokum in the extreme, overly melodramatic in parts, as a travelogue to some pretty interesting places conducted by an intelligent, well travelled, funny and entertaining host.
