Beyond Oak Island (2020)
A Roll of Gorilla Tape Will Quickly Fix Beyond Oak Island
Someone please Gorilla Tape Matty Blake to the boat seat. And while you're at it, put an extra large piece of it across his mouth.
Matty makes these BOI episodes extremely uncomfortable to watch. He just comes off as a total sycophant. Hey guys. Can we go diving yet? Can we? Can we? Can we?
When they finally do, you can see the trepidation in the other crew members when the divers hit the water and Matty takes the comm and becomes the man in charge. It's like these divers have been on the bottom for 10 seconds and Matty is already hounding them. Everything all right down there? Find anything yet? How's it going?
Diving is serious business. If I had some jamoke hounding me on the comm line every 15 seconds, I'd be very tempted to surface and promptly toss him overboard. TV show or no TV show.
Nothing ruins a documentary faster than a producer that inserts himself into the documentation. Give the basics of the story and then get out of the way and let the experts take it from there.
