hostedbyrobertstack · 07-02-2020, 11:22 AM

Just noticed this on Netflix, number 1 out of the top 10 for all of Netflix in US. Pretty crazy!

Sweet!

It's about time. People have missed UM.

So many strange cases in the last 20 years.

Welcome back.

It’s #1 in Canada as well. Netflix may have a hit on their hands!

I'm glad. I'm in various FB true crime groups and they're all buzzing about it. Hopefully, Netflix will produce more episodes.

Even though I don't consider this new show as something that scratches my itch for UM, I'm glad it's doing well and I hope they keep producing it. At least I have Prime now for the old shows.

Does taking the #1 spot on Netflix pretty much ensure that a second season will be produced?

No. But it’s a good indication that lots of people are watching it right away. The first weekend is very crucial for Netflix shows.

Delighted to see that!

Some news - tips are already coming in and confirmed - more episodes coming later this year, which makes sense because if you watch the trailer you see plenty of footage that was not shown in this first run of six episodes.

So far, Meurer says "Mysteries" has received three tips it passed on to the FBI related to the death of Alonzo Brooks, whose body was found a month after he disappeared following a party in rural Kansas in 2004. Tips also came in relating to the cause of death of Rey Rivera, whom Baltimore police said died of suicide, and the disappearance of Lena Chapin, who was supposed to testify against her mother in her stepfather's death.

In another measure of the unscripted program's enduring appeal, "Mysteries" ranked as the No. 1 TV show on Netflix in the U.S. on Thursday. (Six more episodes will be available for streaming later this year.)

I hope my theory about the next batch of episodes being released in October/Halloween season is true.

I bet a lot of people feel more comfortable giving tips through the Unsolved website than directly to law enforcement. I know I would.

I am thinking more unsolved murders for the next batch of episodes, although I would like for them to tackle the case of the Sodder Children.

great news, there is a lot of genuine excitement from the mainstream. it's best tool is helping law enforcement solve cold cases, as well as helping expose corruption in our society where there have been cases of malpractice.

It's great news! Hopefully they use it to their advantage to put more cases in each episode, since there have to be thousands of unsolved crimes and missing people.

No.1 in Australia too!
