Unsolved Mysteries

I'm a big fan of the old unsolved mysteries with Robert Stack ane Dennis Farina, so I was definitely piqued when I saw this on Netflix.

But, the Netflix version of this show seems so much slower and doesn't have a host at all. The only thing that I can recognize being similar to the old shows is the music.

Overall, I'm not impressed. The original (older) unsolved mysteries would have had 3x or even 4x the stories in the same amount of time take as by the 6 episodes on Netflix. Also the original unsolved mysteries is just more concise and engaging.

The Twilight Zone and Unsolved Mysteries were two shows in the late 1980s that simultaneously enthralled and terrified me. Even rewatching old episodes of Unsolved Mysteries on Amazon Video as an adult still gave me an odd creepy feeling. Maybe its Robert Stack, maybe its the music, maybe its the fact that many of these cases still remain unsolved, but it still intrigues me today. So I was pleasantly surprised to see that Netflix has resurrected the series.

There are six episodes and all the old topics are covered from mysterious deaths, to missing persons, and paranormal experiences. This version however does differ quite a lot from what we got in the 1980s. The two big things are that there is no host, and there is only one case...

Never seen original, older version of this show, but saw this one and it was super interesting. I loved it. Definitely 10/10.
