Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It was 2am, I was going to bed and I decided to put this show on for background noise. I'd come across it before, but kept searching as everyone knows a prime 3 star review is the equivalent of a Netflix 1 star. I'm not knocking prime, they're my default and I despise video 88 *ahem* Netflix, but prime reviews are crassly generous. The first episode was gripping, spine-tingling, mysterious, exciting...sucked me right in. I really felt like I was embarking on this amazing adventure. I decided to binge it, and pull an all nighter. Then... nothing. It goes from 100 to zero as the focus goes from this super exciting alien conspiracy with super creepy documented proof, to grasping at straws with a spirit box! Episodes 2-4 are spent watching four people nonsensically weaving together alien theories with the spirit realm, spewing the same whacko rhetoric at each other over and over, as if repetition would somehow make sense of this erratic, purposeless journey into nothingness. Three of the five episodes... Talking, and talking, and repeating the word "synchronicities", which at first sounded like an interesting concept but now hearing it is right on par with sticky, wet chewing noises. Oh, I nearly forgot about the Spirit box session they held on the porch of the cottage they were staying at, 30 minutes away from where they were supposed to be investigating. No worries, though. The ghost of the goblin-slash-alien who is also the mothman found them. kinda like how Santa would if you weren't home for Christmas. So that was kewl.... Perhaps if they'd actually investigated ANYTHING, they'd have found what they were looking for? Litterally, almost zero investigative work in the mines or caves. They set out to find goblins or aliens in caves, but during their two week (?) Stay spent ONE HOUR sitting in the opening of one of what we're lead to believe are HUNDREDS of mines! One hour. Sitting. At the opening. Then it ends. But not before they celebrate all the "weirdness" and experiences they had, that we, the audience, were clearly not privy to. And then more talk about the price of rice in China. Could've at least faked some kind of cool ending, sprinkled a little B.S. in between, SOMETHING to compensate my all nighter and inevitably miserable next day. Trickery level: Decepticon Touché
