I love this show. The acting is good, the characters are engaging, and the stories are fun. The hype was it's a combination of National Treasure and Indiana Jones. I agree, but also throw in a bit of Warehouse 13. Henry, Maggie and Jasper are the 3 main characters. Henry is learning to live in the US after growing up abroad with his anthropologist parents - he's adapting to civilization. Maggie is the brilliant, female of the group - logical, analytical - occasionally we get to her her show a wild side (the party planner and karaoke in "Speedle- mania" I hope there is a season 2 for this show. was great. Jasper (Henry's cousin and host) is the smart kid, working the system to get into Yale -I love it when he goes off to tutor his Math teacher.I am hoping for a season 2 to this entertaining show.
... View MoreI really loved it. It's hard nowadays to find a good history-fiction show or movie that doesn't take to long to get to the point.If you have a little background knowledge in areas in history here and there it's a lot easier to understand.It's educational, but kids don't notice it and turn it off.The scenarios are pretty unrealistic, but your so wrapped up in it at the moment you really don't care.The acting is believable and if someone hadn't told me they were special effects I'd think the characters actually could do that type of stuff.It's making a nice start, and I really hope that it stays that way. Disney Channel and Nickelodeon be prepared.
... View MoreFirst of all, this show has Indiana Jones written all over it (I don't think it's coincidence that the main protagonists Name is Henry). If you enjoyed the Indiana Jones Movies and TV-Series, you might enjoy this.Unnatural History follows Henry Griffin, a teenager who has traveled along with his parents, both anthropologist, around the world. After his Parents sent him back to America, he use his acquired skills to solve, with the help of Jasper Bartlett and Maggie Winnock, mysteries at his new high school.The acting is OK, it's somewhat believable, but nothing special. Since we saw just 3 episodes, it's hard to evaluate their performances.The Special effect are average as same as the scientific details, but if you can look over this, you should give this Show a try.It's a new Show, so only time can say how good (or bad...) it can get.
... View MoreI think this just might become a must watch for me. It's funny and well put together.I really liked the javelin through the football scene, and the dialog is catchy like the comment that there are perks and irks to being a professor's son.There is definitely a huge dose of Indiana Jones type situations that I find hilarious.The special effects are very believable.I had originally thought, Oh, NO not another teen show, idiotic, silly, and shallow (BORING), but the Wizards of Waverly Place could never catch my attention like this show has.Let's just hope it maintains this high level.It's definitely caught my attention.
