Mysteries of the Abandoned (TV Series 2017– )

Mysteries of the Abandoned: With Steven Kearney, Dominic Selwood, Michele Mitchell, Kasper Michaels. Scattered around the world are long-forgotten engineering marvels, decaying cities and empty factories that once stood on the cutting edge of design and construction. Today they are discarded, dangerous, and some of them are even deadly. “Mysteries of the Abandoned” reveals why these engineering triumphs were built and how they were left to crumble. In each hour long episode, stories tell of who originally designed the structure, its historical significance, and why it was ultimately no longer viable. California’s Goat Canyon Trestle railway, Pennsylvania’s Kinzua Viaduct steel bridge, the Grand Goulets Road in the French Alps, and Hashima Island, a once thriving and now deserted Japanese island, are among episode subjects.

“Iu0026#39;ve been watching episodes all along of Mysteries of The Abandoned, and find this to be a decently interesting show (if less interesting overall than the similar What On Earth? on the same network.) Too many former war sites and bomb shelters feature throughout but…I guess thatu0026#39;s just how the human race has been spending a great deal of its time ruining the planet and leaving messy, uncleaned dump sites on earth. Because apparently weu0026#39;re still up to the moment living tribally with Hatfield and McCoy mentality, even though itu0026#39;s supposedly the modern age.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, today while watching a newer episode of MOTA, I see that Discovery Channel not only leaves their network logo in the bottom right of the screen for the entire episode, NOW thereu0026#39;s an intrusive eyesore banner in the upper right corner of the screen simultaneosly as a promo for the Bering Sea Gold show. This also never goes away while watching the entire episode.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYouu0026#39;ve GOT to be kidding me, right ?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith the glut of networks and all the FREE entertainment alternatives around as well, donu0026#39;t think for ONE second Iu0026#39;ll keep watching this non-essential show if youu0026#39;re going to put an eyesore in the top right corner for future episodes. I have no interest in Bering Sea Gold. I will never watch it. No amount of reminding me of that show is going to get me to watch it. Or whatever other annoying banner ad you want to foist in my eyesight. I resent MORE advertising being shoved in my face, to watch your so-so Abandoned show. So this is a message to Discovery Channel if they read these reviews: LOSE the insidious advertising creeping or consider me DUMPING watching this showu0026#39;s future episodes or re-runs. Keep that crap up on your network on other shows and itu0026#39;s bye bye for them, too.”
