I understand Americans do not have a good relationship with facts, wisdom, history and general knowledge but this History Channel is driving me crazy. Somebody should shut them down.
They have invented a method to mess with history, sensationalize it and worst of all reproduce facts and present it as 'new'.
This series follow the same poisonous method.
1) Take a historical figure or story 2) Find some conspiracy halfwits that want to be on TV 3) Add a Hollywood touch by inserting some low self-esteem ex military or secret service people who have absolutely no pride or self-worth. 4) Narrate it using a deep sensational voice 5) Shamelessly claim known facts to be new facts 6) Do not hesitate to disturb a person or grave if it serves the sensationalizing agenda. 7) Don't conclude anything until you reached 7 to 10 episodes. The result is not important.
They pulled this horrible scam with 'Hunting Hitler', a long hunt with no conclusive results. Just sensationalized BS. Everybody knows about Argentina. They simply had the audacity to disturb people who have been suppressing these horrors for decades. Ultimately the History Channel added ZERO to history. Shame!
Then they turned to Earhart. The female Pilot who crashed and got captured by Japs. What they did with her is simply compile known statements by a whole lot of people, but found nothing new. For fun they disturbed some grave. Essentially making a documentary about nothing. Shame again.
So now the mess with Jack the Ripper. I have seen two episodes and already know that the end will be inconclusive, no new facts will be added and the last sentence will be 'we will never know for sure'.
The History Channel is an insult to History.
