chunter76422 I would rather watch 10-year-old Anthony Bourdain shows rather than hear one more irritating tenor-filled nasal-ly syllable from Josh Gates mouth! This show like all his others is completely ridiculous. There really isn't anything interesting about the travel locations because Gates ruins it with is stupid comments on everything.Don't waste your time with this or any of Josh Gate's 'shows'! He's nothing more than two-bit hawker.

Bruce Wilner I find Destination Truth to be profoundly disappointing. My first complaint is that they must be addressing an audience of ignorami, as the lion's share of the "little-known mysteries" that they examine are quite well known among fans of cryptozoology or paranormal (e.g., haunting) phenomena. I find the main guy, Josh, to be overwhelmingly arrogant and pseudo-knowledgeable: I'm not sure whether it's his mispronunciation of words that's more annoying to me than his corrupted citations of almost-facts. The specialty of the show is what I term the "red herring cliffhanger": we are introduced to a "Holy cow!" situation that introduces--guess what--a COMMERCIAL and is immediately followed by a letdown. The attempts at detecting evidence of, say, ghostly phenomena are about as childish as, "Whoa, did you see that?" "O.K., guys, I'm getting creeped out," "Oh, it just got colder in here," and that old standard, "Did someone or something just touch me?" The simulated, nonsensical terror--ALWAYS dispelled and resulting in a zero-lessons-learned mission--reminds one (and this is FAR from a compliment) of "The Blair Witch Project" with a touch of bachelor's-degree-level biology or ecology.

scottgilesmusic-1 A romping travelogue full of fun facts, comedic turns and the occasional monster! And who doesn't love monsters?! The fist two or three episodes are a little rough, with the intrepid host coming off a little more mean- spirited than he ever does again but after these initial tender attempts the show takes off just fine, finding its unique voice.If anything, Destination Truth is a kind of hip Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. So do they ever find anything? Well, that would be telling. Lets just say that some things remain undiscovered simply because nobody seriously looked for them.And you should look for this show. You'll enjoy it. And mysteriously, for all its cleverness and adventure, it is somehow very comforting.

dogglebe Having watched the first two episodes of this show (a la Netflix), I get the impression that this is more of a failed parody of a paranormal hunters' show, than an actual paranormal hunters' show.Each episode has the DT team searching for two creatures. After two episodes, the team fails to provide any real proof that their creatures exist. In searching for a dinosaur, the only proof we have are tree branches being moved. In a haunted cemetery, we have a scraping noise on one of the microphones. In the end, all we have are Josh Gates' lame comments. Everything else might add up to footage, for other similar shows, that would've ended up on the cutting room floor.
