This is the worst paranormal hunters' show I have ever watched. Feels liked I picked the lowest bid and I got what I paid for. His other show Expedition Unknown is much better.

I created an account just to review this show. I haven't been able to get past episode six of the first season. The host is the most pretentious presenter. He mocks every culture his visits, views everyone he meets in these countries as unintelligent simply because they don't share the same economic or educational background as he, and has no regard for the culture or customs of the people. In season 1 episode 6 (as far as I could push myself to watch) 'El Lobizon and El Pombero' they are investigating sightings of Werewolves. According to Argentinian legend, any seventh son born in a family of all boys is a werewolf and the only way to protect these boys is to name him a special name and have him baptized by the president. Well, they find one family who didn't do either of those things to their son, so they decide to stake him out for a night.That'd be fine... if he were an adult. But this is a 10-year-old boy. A boy who is already ostracized from the village they live in, so a bunch of rude American's drawing attention to him surely won't help his cause. This disregard for a local superstition that has the potential to ruin this little boy's life is disgusting. Then to top it off, in the middle of the night they sit the boy on a wooden chair, point a camera at him, and leave him there for hours to 'make sure he doesn't turn into a werewolf'. It's barbaric. This show is not funny. The host is rude, idiotic, and makes up for it by mocking everyone else so he looks superior. I won't even go into their 'investigative' techniques, as others have already done so. Needless to say, those are lacking as well.Horrible show. If you want to see the consequences of imperialism in action -- Western ideals mocking the traditions of Hispanic, Asian, or African cultures -- then this is the show for you. But don't expect to uncover any truth.

I loved this show from the get go. It just gets better each season. I wait impatiently for the next season every year. Josh is by far the best reason to watch. He's funny, adventurous and down right entertaining. His current crew is relatively new, so there's some "getting to know them time" that's necessary but typically, the crew seems to work well together. The show's not about absolutely finding what they're looking for (although they have found some interesting evidence that gained world-wide attention of the scientific community), but it's about the journey, visiting new places via the TV and interacting with new and different cultures. It's about the adventurous spirit for those who don't have it or the finances to travel the world looking for themselves. By far this is the best SyFy show and the best cable reality show! Those that don't like it probably have a poor sense of humor, adventure and lack the inquisitive nature of the human spirit.

Over-hyper rubbish made for the ignorant and superstitious.The presenter is a supercilious, self-important publicist who cares not a whit for the truth or even a destination unless he can get some gullible production company to subsidise his trip there. The editing is woeful and 30 years out of date and the use of cuts to bring an impression of drama is pathetic.These clowns have not, and will not, ever find anything interesting because if they ever did we'd have heard about it from proper researchers, not bloviating cretins like this crowd. The blatant product placement is yet another reason to find this insult to the viewing public reprehensible television at its worst.This is one of the worst things my TV has ever spewed at me.
