This is a show that makes you wonder what makes people
what a particular show on television.
This show has been on for six season and has not yet delivered
on the promise of the show. Finding a treasure, any treasure on
Oak Island.
Nearly every episode has six or seven of the same characters riding
in cars for a noticeable amount of time, having long meetings in a
building built for that purpose at the site, on the island, and the two
brothers Rick & Marty Lagina on camera talking about the latest issues
involving the hunt for treasure.
Those three things make up the majority of this show. In six seasons they've
found a small lead cross, a few old coins, some buttons and a bunch of old
wood, and some tiny pieces of human bone. That's it, that's six seasons worth
of discovery. Less than half, some times far less than half of each episode
actually involves seeing them actually doing anything, and so far. Virtually nothing
has happened.
I guess the same thing that keeps these men going back to this seemingly
barren island every year, keeps viewers coming back.
You've been warned. There's just not much here.
