Can't click the 'spoilers' button, because there are no spoilers.This is about 15 or 20 minutes of total material, spread over 8 episodes. There is all kinds of fake drama (clearly faked, how do you surprise your dad when 2 or 3 guys with cameras walk in). Nothing exciting, nothing gets found, it's just boring. The 10 minutes of the 20 that are dedicated to Gordon Cooper are kind of cool. But you see that in the first episode. The other 7 episodes each add about 1 minute of new material, and rehash for the other roughly 39 minutes of show (discounting the 20 minutes of commercials).I wish everyone would refuse to watch this so they stop making these kind of shows. This should have been a 1 episode documentary, nothing else.People giving this a positive review are nothing more than fake reviews to get the ratings up.

I really really enjoy this treasure hunt. I definitely will continue to follow it and hope he finds everything he sets out for. I like that it's an hour long and I believe a lot of people can relate to his father's lack of a decent relationship with his son even though at 40 something, Darrell still longs for a connection. I would probably give it 9-10 stars except there is an awful lot of footage from space. I understand adding the backstory at the beginning of the season, heck, throw it into the "previously on Cooper's treasure" segment, but is used far too much as filler and unfortunately, I'm not interested in that footage after 6+ episodes. I was also shocked and felt like I was left hanging after episode 6 when I haven't seen any other scheduled episodes as of yet. I enjoy it. Needs more hunt, less space footage.

How many times do you have to see the same footage from space, of maps, of his face, repeating and repeating the same things over and over? It's amazing that this is on the air at all. There is no excitement, tension, and most importantly, no pay off at the end of each episode, or even at the end or the season. It really stinks!

Just like I mentioned in the title, Cooper's Treasure has everything viewers should enjoy in this type of adventure program.Darrell Miklos has a file of documents assembled by one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts, Gordon Cooper.In 1963, Gordon Cooper flew "Faith 7" and orbited the earth 22 times and was in flight for over 34 hours.It was the longest one man flight in US space history.In his time in space beyond just moving the needle forward in the space race, by logging so many hours and conducting experiments, there was allegedly another more clandestine purpose.As discussed in Cooper's Treasure, Cooper took thousands of photographs of earth for the purpose of locating Soviet military installations and missile silos.In the Caribbean, Cooper noted a number of anomalies and kept notes of locations. He suspected these were ship wrecks.He spent years researching and documenting his findings, and prior to his death, shared his findings with Darrell Miklos and his father.Darrell has determined to continue the research and hopefully find the treasure.That's what this series is about.The anticipation, disappointments, and thrills of the hunt is in full force in this series.When you add the tension that Darrell has with his estranged father (who also has some of the charts) you have real drama.We don't know if they can put their differences aside and work together, but money talks, so I expect somehow it will be worked out.But I also expect there will be some real tense times ahead.Will they find treasure... who knows?Will we enjoy the hunt, along side them?Absolutely!
