So when I heard about this series and how it's a spin-off of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, I thought I need to see this! I seriously enjoy watching that series.
But watching episode episode 1 of Beyond Skinwalker Ranch was a cold shower. I binged two more. I just felt it didn't have what the Skinwalker Ranch series had. I felt the Skinwalker crew was just introduced so now and the to piggyback off of it's succes.
I left a 2 or 3 star review and I was done with it. I thought about it a couple of weeks later again. I figured it can't hurt to watch one more maybe and I had spare time. And this time I felt completely different! Episode 4 was far out! YES!! I was so happy about that. I had 5 more to look forward too now.
I'm halfway episode 5 now, and it's actually growing on me. But you must have gathered that much already. I just had to stop and write a review before I forget it. Probably will edit this review in the end but I was so happily surprised that I decided to give it another try.
I've heard about the episode with Chris Bledsoe, episode 8 I believe. And that's the one I'm curious about most. I've seen many podcasts and interviews with him and he just strikes me as this kind and honest man. And he has such a beautiful and exciting story. I'm 100% convinced he's telling the truth. So I don't need to see them testing his statements but I do just want to see more about him. He mentions being in this series on History Channel quite often and how he's happy with it. Discovery Channel did a docu about him back in 2007 or 2008 but they edited it so that it made him look like the town clown and it pretty much ruined his and his family's live for 5 years or so. The town's people mocked them and they got excommunicated from the Episcopal Church of which they were a member. Just all kinds of nastyness. Discovery Channel did a real number on them. I looked that docu up and he's right. It didn't make him look good. So unfair as he thought he could tell others about these events this way. So this on History Channel made it good. Haven't seen it yet but he mentions it so often in interviews. He also wrote a book called UFO of God and that's on top of my to read list. And they'll be making a movie of his live. Good stuff.
I digressed a bit right there but bottom line is, give it a chance. Don't expect exactly the same as The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. Go in open minded. Don't stop after episode 3 because it will get better.
Cheers.
