Great premise: Gather a group of experts and have them review videos that supposedly claim to be paranormal in nature.
Unfortunately, the execution is so piss-poor. Their experts, save for the psychologist, are not the type of people who have the ability to prove or disprove the videos. They are paranormal investigators, so their opinions will skew "this is proof" over "there's an explanation for this that's grounded in reality." Where are the video and photo editors?
The psychologist is the only one who actually suggests the proper way of determining whether a video is proof of paranormal activity, but because following his advice will disprove the videos, the show doesn't do it. Instead, they go with hokey and pseudoscientific methods.
I'm not going to expect serious science in a show that's already established to be fluff and for entertainment, but they aren't even trying. At least debunk some of the clips and then leave a few others for viewers to form an opinion.
