Unsolved Mysteries

Unsolved Mysteries has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and Hoopla, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and fuboTV. Every one of its 14 seasons holds up. 149 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Dennis Farina's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Unsolved Mysteries earns its spot. The plotting gives Unsolved Mysteries its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. Combines four to five segments of dramatic re-enactments, interviews and updates of real human and paranormal mysteries. An audience interactive call-to-action request allowed viewers to call in with tips to help solve the cases. Dennis Farina leads a cast that never lets the mystery feel thin. The series ran for 14 seasons (1988–2010), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. Unsolved Mysteries is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find Unsolved Mysteries proves them wrong. The tonal similarities to Evil are real, though Unsolved Mysteries carves out its own identity quickly. The 14-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. Dennis Farina carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

Unsolved Mysteries wrapped up in 2010, created by John Cosgrove and Terry Dunn Meurer — and 14 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
