We see agents flashing badges, couples hugging each other for comfort, and footsteps over crime scenes mixed with photos from the police files. The reenactments are back, though muted, in Volume 2. The new version of the investigative series saw a major improvement in production quality, but at the cost of its individuality. The first volume episode investigating the death of Alonzo Brooks prompted the FBI to reevaluate the incident as a hate crime. Viewers have also been calling tips into the website. The six new episodes profile fantastically mysterious happenings and tragic events in the hope a viewer holds the key to solving the cases. But the Netflix series is almost too forensic in its unraveling, and it doesn’t even rely too much on the science itself. The crimes are exactly as promised, they are mysterious and open. I have to admit, I miss the cheese of the gravelly melodrama which host Robert Stack exposed from under his raincoat. 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. Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 comes back even more serious than the first volume. The remaining six Unsolved Mysteries episodes will premiere on Netflix later in 2020.This Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 review contains spoilers. I still don't know about that UFO episode, but E.T., if you're watching, phone home and explain what your 1960s cousins were up to. Businesses in my region may still be closed, jobs and stocks may be uncertain, but leave it to Netflix to remind us that somebody out there always has it worse - with the added benefit that ordinary viewers might be able to turn detective and help a grieving family get justice. Unsolved Mysteries is another perfect show for those of us spending most of our time at home due to the coronavirus outbreak. And like Tiger King, Unsolved Mysteries instantly soared to the top of Netflix's most-watched list upon release. Like many, I fell headlong down the Tiger King rabbit hole in April, when a quarantined world discovered Joe Exotic and his menagerie of messed-up pals. A photo of longtime host Robert Stack, who died in 2003, floats like a benevolent ghost through the opening credits, and the memorable and spine-chilling theme music is updated but still recognizable. Kudos, too, to the show for paying homage to its past in a classy way that doesn't feel like a desperate nostalgia grab. And Redditors have come up with a variety of theories about the murdered French family, a truly haunting episode that put me in mind of 1971's infamous family killer John List, who was eventually caught thanks to another TV show, America's Most Wanted. Brooks' case was even reopened by police in June, Dunn Meurer told Variety. Producer Terry Dunn Meurer told USA Today viewers started sending in tips on the various cases within 24 hours of Netflix premiering the new show, specifically about the Brooks, Rivera and Chapin cases.
