Interesting enough. Didn't enjoy it as much as other expedition shows I've watched.
These people were extremely rough with the antiquities. I was quite surprised at how impatient and bull-in-a-china shop they were compared to other shows I've watched where the experts move slowly and with very delicate hands.

This is a 5 part documentary and it's so good. It really addresses today's climate in what can and can't be joked about these days. And for comedians, they pretty much feel everything is fair game. And I agree with them.
Do I laugh at every joke? No. Do I laugh at every comedian? No. Do I think some jokes cross a line? I do. But, don't censor creative content. Just because I might not find something funny doesn't mean the next guy won't. And an offensive inappropriate joke does not mean someone is going to lose their mind and soul and buy into it.
We can all appreciate the seed of a joke. It doesn't mean where the comedian takes the joke is true or even funny sometimes. But, Freedom of F'ing Speech people.
I turn the channel. I turn the TV off. I walk away. I have power over myself and what I choose to engage with and what I don't.
I can list a ton of comedians that people find hilarious that I think are stupid, offensive, untalented. And my list is going to be different than yours. And someone I hate you will love. And that's how the world goes round.
I'm a cry baby extraordinaire and not sure I want to spend a couple hours choked up.
I didn't realize it was so short. I'm actually a little surprised at that, I thought they were these grand sea creatures who lived close to human senior citizen years.
So, yes, this is going to be The Yearling all over again. Love, attachment, friendship, support and boom! Dead.
I'd be snotting all over myself.
Still, I may give it a go on one of my I-am-woman, I-am-strong days.
A whole mythology surrounds this guy from Naples, Florida. He has slapped Wrinkles stickers with a phone number all over town. It has an actual phone number that you can call. I dare someone here to call it and report back. Easy to find on Google. I'm too afraid. bwhoaheohaaa!
In the documentary, an old man is portrayed as Wrinkles, but he was an actor who was hired by Wrinkles. Wrinkles has gotten so many death threats.
He does hire out. Parents will hire him to scare the crap out of their kids. Which is a bit deranged. But what's really disturbing, parents will call the number and leave a message on Wrinkles's answering machine saying stuff like, come get these kids because they are being bad. And the language they use, the horrible mental game -- the kids are in the background just begging and sobbing, promising to be good. Just don't bring in Wrinkles, please. These are little kids. Sure, hire the guy to scare your teenage azzholes, but little kids. No.
It's quite sick. As a parent, you are supposed to be the person your child can trust and come to without fear of anything. And you purposely traumatize your kid into thinking that you will do something awful to them at any minute, at your whim. Totally sick.
Now, that's not saying we haven't scared our kids. Sure we have. But in fun. And definitely age appropriate. This Wrinkles stuff is just total child abuse.
He's going to scare the wrong person one day and get shot.
This is the story about a guy who was adopted seeking his birth parents. And he believes his father is The Zodiac Killer.
It's a 4 part documentary. And as documentaries do, they totally have you believing what they want you to believe until you get to the end and can't believe it anymore.
It's like reading a whole book with clues withheld to sway you to believe something and then all of a sudden, you are given the facts and realize, this whole time, you were being led on.
Still, very interesting and food for thought.
