Expedition Unknown Season 1 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Expedition Unknown Season 1 has the format that countless others have tried to copy since. Armed with a degree in archaeology, a quick wit and a hunger for adventure, Josh Gates investigates the latest developments in each unsolved legend before embarking on a fully immersive exploration. To separate fact from fiction, Gates inserts himself in different cultures to understand the world as they do. Whether he's trekking through Fiji in search of Amelia Earhart's remains or diving the deep seas of Panama to locate Captain Morgan's pirate ship, Gates' authentic roughshod adventures lead him one step closer to finding the truth. Josh Gates leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2015. Expedition Unknown Season 1 understands the difference between manufactured drama and the real thing, and leans on the latter. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

If the format appeals to you at all, Expedition Unknown Season 1 is one of the stronger examples of it. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. The format has been copied endlessly since Expedition Unknown Season 1 first appeared, which is the most honest tribute the industry knows how to give. Impossible to watch casually.
