Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

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

kchiasson-77464 It is yet another over-glorified, over-hyped reality TV show. What else would you expect from Discovery network?As others have mentioned, you could easily condense the content into 1 or 2 episodes. There is so much repetition, that I feel like I'm being taken on an 'idiot ride' and I can't take any of it seriously. Especially the mapping from space, using such old technology to detect underwater objects from very far away, while traveling at high velocity.Search for written documentation instead of this time-wasting trash and watch something else on NatGeo, for example.

brtdog Didn't think it was possible but there IS a worse show than Oak Island. Why does Discovery make such horrible reality shows. Condense each season to 2 shows and cut out the crap and re-run scenes. All this info is already available on the internet. Didn't think it was possible but there IS a worse show than Oak Island.

raggoyute First and foremost, I think this show is paced and edited so badly - which is probably the producer's hand at work here. There should be a solid documentary underneath this, but the style they have gone for is just all wrong as they have tried to spin a series out of something that would be much better more shorter and concise. This type of editing coupled with fake suspense and an over dramatic musical score, makes me think I am watching an episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA. Not a serious show about Treasure Hunting. It really annoys me when a documentary devotes far too much time to what's coming up after the commercials and then a recap once the new section starts. It's just watering down of the content and I just wish they would get on with it! Also way too much is reiterated in various different scenes over and over and over again - I get the point and don't need to be re-fed stuff. The scenes where he meets his father and just before he goes to meet him seem quite staged. I also think they've cut them to seem like they occur more than they actually did (the clue is in the clothing). There is so much here that is just being made unauthentic as the dad clearly loves and wants to help his son - but they have to spin an extra storyline out of this due to the format.Saying all that with my hand on the fast forward button I am just about able to get a good enough show from this. The thing that keeps me watching is I find Darrell Miklos a charismatic and likable guy with a good enough story and who I want to succeed. As it is so over-egged, if I do stop watching I will look for a book on the subject and then hopefully won't have to deal with the issues expressed.

patrickbatty Just like I mentioned in the title, Cooper's Treasure has everything viewers should enjoy in this type of adventure program.Darrell Miklos has a file of documents assembled by one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts, Gordon Cooper.In 1963, Gordon Cooper flew "Faith 7" and orbited the earth 22 times and was in flight for over 34 hours.It was the longest one man flight in US space history.In his time in space beyond just moving the needle forward in the space race, by logging so many hours and conducting experiments, there was allegedly another more clandestine purpose.As discussed in Cooper's Treasure, Cooper took thousands of photographs of earth for the purpose of locating Soviet military installations and missile silos.In the Caribbean, Cooper noted a number of anomalies and kept notes of locations. He suspected these were ship wrecks.He spent years researching and documenting his findings, and prior to his death, shared his findings with Darrell Miklos and his father.Darrell has determined to continue the research and hopefully find the treasure.That's what this series is about.The anticipation, disappointments, and thrills of the hunt is in full force in this series.When you add the tension that Darrell has with his estranged father (who also has some of the charts) you have real drama.We don't know if they can put their differences aside and work together, but money talks, so I expect somehow it will be worked out.But I also expect there will be some real tense times ahead.Will they find treasure... who knows?Will we enjoy the hunt, along side them?Absolutely!
