I've caught episodes now and then. It's quite fascinating what they are doing there.

Another fallacy the produces keep trotting up is "the curse." At the start of every episode, there is the narrative that one more person has to die before the treasure is discovered. Yet there is no evidence trail to show where that curse came from.

Reality TV is a balance between reality and manipulation for a better story. I'm not so sure the videographers always know where to stand and have their mikes on for those great takes. THere has to be some coaching. It seems the producers have found the right balance for Oak Island. .
