Very disappointed in this show. There may be a modicum of truth to it all, however its filled with the typical fillers and twists you find on most junk reality television. An example of this is a 4 minute build up which you know is leading to an ad break, then a 3 minute recap of the show so far after adverts. Multiply this 3 times and over half the episode is junk. If you make it to the second episode, you will also note in their second reunion, Darrell and his father are wearing the exact clothing as their meeting from episode one. Also, Darrell is an experienced treasure hunter, yet needs to seek experience from other hunters regarding "ships manifest". Man, theres countless holes in all of it. Its a shame because had they made this honestly, with integrity and kept out the smoke and mirrors, it would have made quite a decent short documentary or a 3 episode special.

We love the show...I mean, if your a person that wants treasure found right away, this is not for you. BUT...if you want a show that's realistic about treasure hunting...this is it. The ups AND the downs. The story of Cooper is fascinating as well. I don't get the bad reviews above, but to each their own. The only downsize of the show is Darryls Dad....what a complete asshole.

Can't click the 'spoilers' button, because there are no spoilers.This is about 15 or 20 minutes of total material, spread over 8 episodes. There is all kinds of fake drama (clearly faked, how do you surprise your dad when 2 or 3 guys with cameras walk in). Nothing exciting, nothing gets found, it's just boring. The 10 minutes of the 20 that are dedicated to Gordon Cooper are kind of cool. But you see that in the first episode. The other 7 episodes each add about 1 minute of new material, and rehash for the other roughly 39 minutes of show (discounting the 20 minutes of commercials).I wish everyone would refuse to watch this so they stop making these kind of shows. This should have been a 1 episode documentary, nothing else.People giving this a positive review are nothing more than fake reviews to get the ratings up.

First and foremost, I think this show is paced and edited so badly - which is probably the producer's hand at work here. There should be a solid documentary underneath this, but the style they have gone for is just all wrong as they have tried to spin a series out of something that would be much better more shorter and concise. This type of editing coupled with fake suspense and an over dramatic musical score, makes me think I am watching an episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA. Not a serious show about Treasure Hunting. It really annoys me when a documentary devotes far too much time to what's coming up after the commercials and then a recap once the new section starts. It's just watering down of the content and I just wish they would get on with it! Also way too much is reiterated in various different scenes over and over and over again - I get the point and don't need to be re-fed stuff. The scenes where he meets his father and just before he goes to meet him seem quite staged. I also think they've cut them to seem like they occur more than they actually did (the clue is in the clothing). There is so much here that is just being made unauthentic as the dad clearly loves and wants to help his son - but they have to spin an extra storyline out of this due to the format.Saying all that with my hand on the fast forward button I am just about able to get a good enough show from this. The thing that keeps me watching is I find Darrell Miklos a charismatic and likable guy with a good enough story and who I want to succeed. As it is so over-egged, if I do stop watching I will look for a book on the subject and then hopefully won't have to deal with the issues expressed.
