"The Unxplained" Series Review: If "Ancient Aliens" Had A Baby... And William Shatner Was The Daddy



"The Unxplained" first aired in July 2019 on the History channel. William Shatner (of "Star Trek" fame) serves as the host. He's a great addition to the show. Various "experts" are interviewed in each segment. Some are also seen on "Ancient Aliens" (which was a gigantic hit for the History channel). There are six seasons of "The Unxplained" total.  Each season has a variable number of episodes ranging from 7 to 22.  

The entire series including season 6 is viewable on the History channel. Discovery Plus and Hulu each have the first 4 seasons. Seasons 2-3 are currently viewable on NetFlix. 

There is definitely lots of food for thought here. Many of these topics might not be novel but they are presented in quick and  entertaining segments. The production values are high. The show moves at a quick pace leaving you wanting more. Consider it mind candy. If something peaks your interest, feel free to research more on the topic. Example: Gobekli Tepe-- what's up with that place?  If it is really 12,000 years old (that's 6000 years older than Stonehendge and 6500 years older than the Egyptian pyramids) than we need to rewrite how old "civilization" is and what ancient peoples were doing. Doesnt look they were all running around in animal skins chasing animals to club in the head.   

Disclaimer: If you're interested in hard facts, this is not the show for you. "The Unexplained" devolves into pseudoscience and conspiracy theories at times.  But that doesnt bother me. I'm just here to be entertained. My favorite episodes include: abandoned places, lost civilizations, aliens, apocalyptic events, etc.
