Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries

[meremortal]

The original was a landmark show of its time. It was a series that as a little kid you'd pretty much be thinking about the episode for the rest of the week because many of the segments were downright terrifying. The eerie synth score was scary enough and Robert Stack's deadpan style and narration was perfect. The paranormal/supernatuarl segments were especially frightening to me and I often had nightmares from them. They had a really creative computer graphics department for the time and the episodes with UFOs, ghosts, aliens, etc. looked real enough to me then. Watched a few of the episodes of season 1 on Amazon and it was interesting because many of the 'actors' in the re-enactments were the actual people who the story was based on. I've wanted to watch more, but it's so time consuming to go through them; it'd take a while to even catch up to the time period when I was watching the show when I was a kid. Also kind of curious in the newer show since there would be some contemporary stories as well. And a final aside, Rescue 911 was also an interesting accessory show of the time that I haven't seen since it first aired.
