The quest begins with a lead that points the treasure hunting team to an old and long-abandoned Jesuit monastery. To get there, the team must travel through Yungas Road, infamously known as "Death Road" because it has more fatalities each year than any other road in the world. Mere miles before they reach their destination, a landslide forces the team to stop dead in their tracks and reroute their journey to safety. Will this end the team's trek to the treasure, or will their knowledge and expertise take them through to the end?

nekkidnorman An absolutely terrible show. The Legend of Croc Gold was another horrid gold show and this is no better. Fake. Made up drama. Scripted parts. Too much recap and very little substance. "Experts" behaving like idiots and assuming that the audience is naive and gullible.Don't waste your time. There are better gold shows (Gold Rush, Bering Sea Gold, White Water, etc. all are/have become pretty formulaic but they're still miles ahead of this drivel).
gabyroes A show which clearly jumps to the most (il)logical conclusion that ANYTHING found on the island MUST be related to hiding treasure (as opposed to the thousand of other more practical reasons), is made for the idiots who believe it. The saddest thing is that budding archaeological aficionados (like my 6 year olds) may believe that this is how science and theory works - fitting every finding to your conclusions. As far as filming goes, it's godawfully slow, with implied cliffhangers before every commercial and way too much recapping, to hide the lack of content. All the stars are probably interesting in their own rite, but are cheapened by the inauthenticity of the program. Utterly flawed, if not entertaining for that very reason. Have a little self-respect Discovery Channel.
grizzledgeezer Jacques Cousteau's National Geographic specials were popular forty-plus years ago when I was still in college. One of the guys in the dorm, Russ D, was an avid diver and a major fan. (He later worked for Westinghouse in an engineering position that required diving -- Br'er Rabbit in the briar patch.)We were looking forward to Cousteau's search for Inca gold, and eagerly gathered around the color TV of a dorm member whose father owned an appliance store.It turned out that the lake supposedly loaded with jewelry and other artifacts was sorely lacking in gold. But it //was// full o'frogs. For the rest of the hour, we were treated to a show about giant frogs. "Frogs, frogs, frogs, frogs. Glorious frogs, marvelous frogs." (You can learn more by Googling "In the Land of Giant Frogs".)Russ nearly had a fit. "I don't want to see a show about frogs!"I can't help but think of that episode when watching "Treasure Quest: Snake Island". Given the way Discovery (and other cable networks) have created despicably dishonest "documentaries", one wonders whether someone had the brilliant idea of a series in which people visit an island infested with (supposedly) poisonous snakes, looking for treasure that never existed.In fairness, the thing looks legitimate. Mehgan Heaney-Grier is a real free diver (best-remembered for her shows with Manny Puig and Mark Rackley), but I suspect she's present mostly as eye candy in what would otherwise be an all-male program. The other participants don't seem to be acting.The first three episodes have been nothing if not attention-grabbing. The explorers have quickly located significant clues to the treasure's location. Whether they'll eventually find it...Assuming this is a legitimate story, I predict they will. Cork, et al, wouldn't let the series be aired otherwise, as it would allow their unfinished work to be exploited by someone else.My nine-star rating is strictly for entertainment value. Discovery has so badly poisoned the reality-TV well that one has to be suspicious of //everything// it shows.
Lauren Gee From the trailer for Treasure Quest: Snake Island to the episodes themselves, you will not be disappointed. The team will bring you up close and personal, first hand adventure on this search for sunken treasure. You will also gain much knowledge each week as it relates to the expedition, both step by step and behind the scenes.As each team member is an expert in their own field, they bring it together to reach their goal. An exciting and fact gaining experience for all.There is excitement that will pull you in to see how the next episode will pan out. Tune it to find out.
