I enjoy Groff as a paranormal investigator. I like how he is open-minded about the paranormal, comes across as a nice fellow and is essentially fearless when it comes to investigating, ie he's willing to put himself in crazy situations, engage entities head on, sleep anywhere, etc. But this show is just plain boring. There's little to no post production evidence review, there's too many re-enactments and produced video and audio clips of ghosts, entities, etc. There's not enough assortment of investigative equipment (until Season 3). They're so reliant on the GeoPort and GeoBoxes (which aren't all that interesting) that 75% of every episode seems to be Nick walking around talking with himself through the means of audio pareidolia. It's not engaging. Little to no EVP, thermal, night vision, experimentation (until Season 3), etc. And please stop playing produced audio WHILE we are trying to listen intently to the raw investigation audio. We watch these shows to see and hear REAL evidence and ambiance, not highly produced clips of evidence or ambient noise. I though given Nick's chance to have complete control of his own show, it would be different and BETTER than most of these types of shows. But somehow they managed to make this the most boring PI show ever. Trim the over-production, keep it more raw and make the episodes longer. This could be great. But as of right now, it's not. I will say Season 3 is an improvement from the previous two. And also, Season 3 Episode 2 features a "ghost hand" that is literally just the connector cord from the handicam caught by the static cam. Two experts and neither of them caught it.
