If you thought "Most Haunted", "Ghost Adventures" and all the other ghost hunting shows were one-trick ponies, then you ain't seen nothing yet. This has to be the most scientifically illiterate show on television as three people run around various inaccessible bits of American wilderness in the dark to try and find Bigfoot. Given that the cameras never stay fixed on one point for longer than two seconds, it's a surprise that any of these people could find their own feet, never mind a secretive wild animal. The "experts" in the field are heavy on exposition, regularly stating with a straight face that "It's here", or "We're not alone", or "There's something large out there", or "It doesn't want us here", before deciding that nothing has happened for 30 seconds so it's time to give up and head back to camp. The clowns on the ground are marshalled by a credulous leader who goes out and listens to any old BS stories or conspiracy theories about government interference that, by series three, people from across the States are lining up to repeat to him. Discovery used to make serious documentaries, but this is a true stinker, a real embarrassment, and the nail in the coffin of my subscription to Discovery+.
