Unsolved Mysteries (2020)

"Paranormal Rangers" probably freaked me out the most of all the episodes in Volume 3. ... "The Ghost in Apartment 14" starts out as the story of a haunting, but somewhere in the middle, it becomes an unsolved murder mystery as well. Even if you don't believe in ghosts, this story will captivate you — and probably make you squirm a little, honestly.

The mysteries this new version discusses are fascinating and the episodes are well-researched with good storytelling. We just wish they named it something else.

It would have been interesting for Unsolved Mysteries to get the authorities on record. But according to a postscript, those agencies denied a request to speak.

The types of cases profiled on the new Unsolved Mysteries are also consistent with its ’80s and ’90s incarnation, albeit leaning more toward mysterious disappearances than paranormal phenomena. And the stories told by the victims’ loved ones are indeed compelling. ... Some of the cases are less mysterious. ... The alien episodes are still fun.

Unsolved Mysteries manages to satisfy both its old and new audiences and deliver at least one case that’s as unique as it is baffling. The rest of the half-season is weaker, but “Thirteen Minutes” gives fans plenty to work with.

Bloated and still inconclusive, the new “Unsolved Mysteries” benefits from Netflix’s usual high production values for nonfiction programming, but there’s no reason for these episodes to drone on as they do; there’s not enough story to support their running time.

The biggest unsolved mystery behind Netflix's reboot of Unsolved Mysteries is, "Why bother?" This new incarnation has almost none of what made the original memorable, substituting generic cases and limited style in stories (episodes run less than an hour) that are too dull for a miniseries and too meekly investigated for a newsmagazine.

Not just the US but Europe, Not just murders but missing persons and a rather odd UFO encounter. Some are more fascinating, others not so much, a couple are deeply heartbreaking. It's done very well without narration but naturally, you are led to believe a certain path of course. The unsolved nature of the cases will annoy those of us used to closure so be prepared to be frustrated if you have that mindset.

This show is basically a call from the deceaseds' grave, begging the world to take their murders seriously. In the first episode, Rey Rivera needs the police to convene a grand jury to find out who from his company, a company owned by his shady White American best pal, called him at 6:13pm immediately before he disappeared. How many people could have still been at the office at this time? Who was the switch board operator that evening? Why was such a simple thing left undone by the Baltimore PD? Next story is a woman murdered, and all people think it is her White American husband. Nobody else had malice or motive. End of show comes around and after saying g how he would sleep in bed with her precious cremation ashes while fake crying, the investigator asks to see them. They are in a coat closet in a box, never been unsealed, on the effing floor with the dirty shoes!! Basically, if you are a woman or a minority, you only hope that somebody watches this show and forces the authorities to ask some HARD NECESSARY questions of the most likely white American men who seem to be getting another privilege and/or pass they are happily unaware of getting. Yuck.

It's mediocre and monotonous. They could've given it a completely different name. It's nothing like the original.

I understand the original post has passed away. I wish I would have kept the same layout of the show. We have too many crime shows like this already. I was very disappointed.

Ok at best. Most episodes are really stretching things to find a "mystery" in what tends to be a fairly straightforward case.
