While the latest iteration of Unsolved Mysteries may have some of the DNA of the original it's so re-vamped it seems like a wholly different show. Here we have William Shatner as host/narrator and he's a good later-day Robert Stack bedrock from which, like Unsolved Mysteries, guides the viewer through a wide variety of mysterious and strange stories. More of the usual current crop of talking heads, some unique story specific experiencers, and, perhaps, fewer criminals make up the average episode. Still, it seems like the best current heir-apparent to the original beloved Unsolved Mysteries. A more serious and restrained Shatner and good production values (i.e. Tight editing reeling in the hovering paranormal aspect) make the show fairly interesting and entertaining.
