I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I really enjoy this. I love watching the hunt. I love watching what they are going through to find this lost mystery. I love the documentary. I give this 10/10. You have to have a passion for things like this in order to give it a good rating. If you are a die hard for suspense and watching a hunt, then sure this is a great documentary. But if you are someone who rather just get it over and done with, then of course you're going to give it a bad review. IMO, 10 stars!

Let me be clear, I love this show. The people, the story, the mystery and all that follows with it, but there are things being done about this production and the episodes that destroys almost all the good that The Curse of Oak Island has to offer, and that is a big shame.What can be more intriguing than a possible mystery treasure buried under an intelligent construction on an island hundreds of years ago? Not much for me. But when we are in 2017 and we pretend that we can't analyse a hole in the ground and stop working on it as soon as we encounter bedrock and keep going away from SIGNIFICANT clues & indications that we should inspect as a step to uncover the full story of the mystery on Oak Island, all sanity stops. This is the clearest indicator that The Curse of Oak Island is entertainment, and not an exciting piece of ground-breaking history in the making. However the show attemps to be both, and as such it suffers a severe identity-problem.We are now 5 seasons into the show and yet it is always 2 steps forward and 10 steps back. This could had been the greatest treasure-show of all time, but it keeps repeating itself and baiting the viewers one episode at a time. Every week you hope something significant will happen, but more than 60% of the time they re-tell the same stories or talk about some kind of pottery found in the ground.Get real. Get moving. Figure out the mystery. We've had enough of history and what-if's by now. Sincerely, a genuine fan.

LISTEN UP! I live a stones throw away from Oak Island and want to call this to an end. I have NEVER heard of anything being discovered on Oak Island. Somehow after their recent trip to France they mysteriously discover a cross that looks like one they wasted all their time and effort on. Need I slay PLANTED!

I hope Marty and Rick find something substantial on Oak Island. Why? Because I love the kind of history that garners intrigue, exposes us to mystery and keeps us going with an interesting story.While there are great mysteries on this show, the story, i.e., the redundant episodes, are painful. It appears that little new is being found that proves a treasure awaits, evidenced by painfully redundant cut scenes and hopeful, intent-driven dialogue that I've heard episode after episode. ("I think this is GOTTA be the money pit," for example.)I've reached the conclusion that the desperate Lagina brothers will never find any substantial treasure on this island no matter how many holes they drill and how many millions they or their investors spend.. It reminds me of Geraldo's hyped up coverage of the opening of Al Capone's vault; the show was built up to a fever pitch only to reveal a barren vault. In the same spirit, viewing this program episode after episode is disappointing, but somehow I cannot resist wanting to hear the latest in their adventure because I do wish them well.With sincere respect to Rick, it's pretty hard to watch his desperation that Marty calls "optimism." It reminds me of the countless fortune-seekers with big dreams who journeyed arduously to the west during the Gold Rush with the intent to strike it rich, only to leave penniless with dreams dashed.I agree that this program could have been done in a single season, which would have left room for the great historical vignettes and eliminated the redundancies.In summary, it's just another 'Finding Escobar's Millions,' 'Hunting Hilter' et al where we watch some passionate investigators try to convince us episode after episode how close they are to finding what they're seeking. Clickbait for television, folks. After countless wasted hours watching, I've had my fill of these programs. Shame on you, History Channel, for jumping on the "investigative circle-jerk" wagon.
