There's a certain amount of repetition--as in right before a commercial break and right after a commercial break--in this apparently made for television documentary. The voiceover narrator seems to be trying to find a balance between stating the facts and making it sound dramatic, without going overboard. It's a "nearly there" effort, but not quite there.
Think maybe I miss Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.
I've heard worse (overly dramatic), and I've heard better. This one isn't bad. As for the information, it's interesting enough. I just don't see what the dramatic tone and script writing adds to the show. To me, it doesn't. But the information was interesting enough to keep listening to and I don't think I'd ever heard any of it before. If an investigation of the Bermuda Triangle sounds interesting to you, this would be a decent enough update on it for you. It focuses mostly on the science--fact through most of the show with theory near the end--more than any catalog of lost vessel particulars. They include only 3 or 4 vessel particulars--just enough to serve as examples for the science. The rest focuses on the science--and attempts to dazzle you with computer graphic displays. And I suppose you have to show the viewer something while you talk.
