I can't believe all the bad reviews for this show! I just watched all 3 episodes with my boyfriend last night and they were all great. My boyfriend is more sciency than I am, and I know he had some problems with what they called proof on the show, but I thought that was the point. There isn't scientific documentation for a lot of these sites and that is what the show seems like it's trying to accomplish. To have people look at those sites closer. People who are qualified. I know one of the other reviews I read said they called him an archaeologist but the show says over and over he is a geologist, which is totally different. I feel like people want to be mad at this show because it's making them uncomfortable and they aren't necessarily paying attention so they make mistakes like that. Why are people so angry about Mr. Wolter looking at these places and doing what he can? All this talk of fake science seems like its a question of who is judging that. A lot of things have been called bad science over the ages and then were later proved to be right.
I gave the show a 9 because I don't like how sometimes the show just does things that are staged. I know that sometimes shows need to do this but this made it feel like too much at times. Writing access denied or something on a piece of paper seems like nothing a person would really do. Still, I found myself caring less and less about that as time went on. It feels like a new type of show to me. You have a lot of other shows where things are equally fake, but no one ever complains. At least this show seems to know it's doing that and is okay with it and is maybe even purposeful about it. Maybe this is where reality is going? So I don't care what the other people say, this is a fun show. Mr. Wolter is a good host and seems genuinely interested in the subject matter. There are moments when the proof isn't so great, but that is the fun of it people! The stories are interesting and say some really important stuff about how ancient people weren't stupid and could have come here. Don't let the typical audience of angry, white men who think they know everything tell you it's not a good program. Sometimes you need to stop looking at everything like it's black and white and accept that what you call science isn't the only thing that matters on a TV show! If that's the only thing you judge a show by then I hope you can find something good to watch because none of it will ever live up to that standard unless you're watching the science channel or something. Have a little fun in life.
