The premise for the show is interesting.But the Host and central figure (besides the Astronaut Gordon Cooper) is Darrell Miklos. A man who is in need of some help from various people to proceed with his plan to find sunken treasure ships...This man is a terrible communicator. Within the first 2 episodes he must ask the help of 2 people, and the way he approaches his request for help is so faltering and coming from the wrong direction that it's no wonder he is not successful.I am not done this series and am not sure whether I shall continue...

I was initially intrigued by the premise of this show, but it quickly became apparent that all was not as it seemed. From the outset something is off about Darrell Miklos, at times he can be quite charismatic but at the same time he's unable to communicate normally with people, he's always trying to force the conversation with stuff like "remember that time me and Gordon Cooper were best friends?" It feels like he's trying to insert himself into Coopers life after the fact.The problems just continue to get bigger when he explains how Cooper got his information, his explanation requires an astonishing level of technical ignorance to be accepted. They claim he used some camera device designed to detect nuclear installations that somehow managed to pick up underwater wrecks on a craft with less technology than a modern smartphone. At that time a craft moving at 7600 meters per second with the available optics could just about identify an object the size of a city block. Two years after this using better equipment Cooper was unable to take usable pictures or provide data on where the pictures were taken, despite having a 2nd crewman to help this time. These facts are from NASA's own log files from the mission.If that wasn't problematic enough, Darrell Miklos's father is a known scam artist who cons people into handing over money to fund treasure hunts at which point he disappears with the money. Gordon Cooper himself was involved in several well documented scams and shady business dealings later in his life, he also told a lot of provable lies and fanciful stories.

How many times do you have to see the same footage from space, of maps, of his face, repeating and repeating the same things over and over? It's amazing that this is on the air at all. There is no excitement, tension, and most importantly, no pay off at the end of each episode, or even at the end or the season. It really stinks!

If this guy was so close to Gordon Cooper that they shared a man cave together, and upon his death he received this large bundle of documents from Gordon, why would Gordon leave the most vital parts out so you had to scavenge them? It doesn't add up. A more likely scenario is upon Gordons death, he rushed over and grabbed the documents that were lying around and that's why the best, most vital part is missing! Because that wasn't lying around their man cave for him to scarf up.I'll tell you what is legitimate treasure, the stuff he rifles through in Gordons garage! Those items in that garage are potentially worth millions! If his wife was smart she'd auction off the contents of that garage on EBAY! That would be quite a sum, I'm sure! I'll bet the US government might even want to throw in a $100,000,000 to keep that stuff away from the public.As far as all this data from 1963 that was probably the best then, but the Earth is now surrounded in space by 1000's of Satellites with really modern high powered cameras, so these maps, if even legit are comparable in quality to what they can see nowadays to you getting excited about having an Early Cell phone that came with a large box beneath it and cost $3 a minute to make a call on. And a little kid walks by holding a galaxy 8 and laughs at you.I'm was sure MODERN treasure hunters do use satellite imagery and I looked it up and Viola.. https://www.gislounge.com/using-landsat-imagery-find-shipwrecks/ What do you know, they did and do! So basically...this is all romanticized hooey!
