Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 Review: Reboot Fits a Flatfoot More Than a Bigfoot

This Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 review contains spoilers. Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 comes back even more serious than the first volume. The theme music may have a new arrangement which forebodes horrifying tales, but the telling has become even further removed from the overwrought drama of the original series which aired from 1987 to 2010.

Unsolved Mysteries Review (Spoiler-Free): True Crime With More Questions Than Answers

This Unsolved Mysteries review contains no spoilers. Unsolved Mysteries Season 1 The Netflix rebooted series Unsolved Mysteries could really use someone like Robert Stack to lead audiences through these mysterious cold cases. He may not have been the biggest named crime-fighting icon, but he brought his Elliot Ness from the original The Untouchables to the scene. He also brought his trench coat. True crime shows are coming from all directions, and most of them follow a similar pattern which was laid out by Unsolved Mysteries. What set it apart were that voice and that trench coat. Stack hosted the groundbreaking…
