Hopefully the producers will go down the route of their podcast: Narrator and much shorter segments.

I like the one-case-per-episode format. It’s perfect for binging. I agree that the episodes don’t need to be 45-60 minutes.

I just want the proper music back, not that slowed-down, ugly piano version of the theme. ��

A narrator or host would be good too, as would more mysterious cases. And cases with an actual focus. I love ghost segments but the Japanese tsunami ghost episode was HORRIBLE. They should have focused on one particular haunting instead.

The piano version of the theme was fine. It’s a different UM, so they can’t use the same (“proper”) theme again and again.

Bad memory. You should get some medication for that.

There have even been threads about individual episodes. It’s fairly inaccurate to say no one wants to discuss the new UM.

Read my post again please. I’m specifically talking about the podcast. The podcast is new, weekly UM content and no one wants to discuss it.

Maybe it’s fine for you, but certainly not for me. It sounds ugly.

It's not as simple as "Netflix UM is terrible" or "Netflix UM is great" because many of the criticisms posted on the other threads are correct...some cases don't deserve the full episode treatment, and drone footage is overused to fill that gap.

That said there are certainly cases on the new UM worthy of discussion. Ex. Joann Romain is an intriguing case with all of the elements of classic UM unexplained death cases (i.e. police refuse to pursue any leads which don't support their far-fetched theory of suicide, and nefarious family members are the target of suspicion). If they have more cases like this one, I'm looking forward to seeing them

From the show's Twitter account. Gotta wait til next Summer.

Surprised. I was hoping they’d have a batch of episodes ready for Spooky Season.

While you wait for Volume 3, now is the perfect time to catch up on the official Unsolved Mysteries podcast! Episode #29 just dropped today!

I wish them luck but I will not be watching.

I didn't get through all of the episodes.

The show simply is not good and does not remotely resemble the original.

They dropped the ball with no narrator and no segments. It simply seems like a run of the mill crime show. And the true UM fans know that UM was so much more.

I would rather watch On The Case with Paula Zahn than the new UM.

That's pretty ridiculous that it'll take them a whole year to make reality programming.

But On the Case is totally different because the mystery is ALREADY solved & they tell you at the end!

The new UM isn't so bad. You KNEW it would never be like it was with Stack & no one should've expected that!

It takes time to fabricate and twist the truth.
