Why do I put up with Curse?
I HATE so-called reality shows. They're coached and staged... conversation is stilted, people are told where to stand for the best light. I tire of everyone shaking hands ever time they meet and Rick or Marty ending a meeting with... "let's get back to work". The coaching involves trying to get the actors to explain things in a way to create a narrative. The camera crews also have to be off screen... only seen at times in reflections of glass. I saw the shadow of one of the drones once. They slipped up on that one! Then there's the insipid narration... "Could it be that this piece of rust Drayton found was placed on the beach by the aliens help who helped the Templars safely cross the ocean with the Holy Grail?"
The job of the editors must be harder to piece together all the raw clips to fine tune a narrative for each scene. Sometimes it barely holds together. Then to make it worse there's all the repetition... what's coming up after the break so people stay tuned, and then after the break a review of what happened... presumably so channel surfers get hooked. Each show is about 15 minutes of content stretched into a 45 minute show.
But.... unlike reality shows done on the cheap... like Civil War Gold, the Lagina's are spending millions to get to the bottom of a mystery that's intrigued me since I first head about Oak Island back in the 60s.
So I'm as hooked as I am repelled.
