The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I would watch it for the knowledge you can gain and the warnings. However it is odd and more unnerving than need be. Overdoing and dragging out the drama, trying to make cute or clever segway and summaries, repeating scenes and lines over and over. With a little change this could really be my of tea.

Like many of the reviews already here, I found this show to be a (slightly) more tasteful version of the American show "1000 Ways to Die." I did enjoy the overall presentations of the events and circumstances of each individuals demise. In most cases the performances were respectful, if a bit over dramatic, and the science and explanations of each event were well presented and quickly became my favorite part of the show.However; like my fellow reviewers, I found the show's minor attempts at dark humor were entirely unnecessary. Unfortunately this isn't the reason as to why I have given the show such a low rating. My biggest criticism comes from the reporting of various facts and details regarding the individuals featured in the program. After hearing about one of the cases featured in the show, I would often try to learn more about them. A quick google search would allow me to read on about the case, and usually exposed a facet or detail that the show had gotten wrong. Changed names, wrong locations, or misreported circumstances were a frequent discovery while I was watching this show, and the primary reason why I cannot rate it any higher.

This seems to be the Canadian equivalent of 1000 Ways To Die, which I used to watch when i was younger. It has the same dark humor that seems inappropriate when talking about deaths. Now, I am all for making light of heavy topics; however, in some cases it doesn't seem... respectful. This is one of those cases. Everyone does have a different opinion of when they think its appropriate, and that is okay, but for me it seemed disrespectful towards the dead. I had the same issue with 1000 Ways To Die when I watched that. I also found the use of cheesy jokes annoying as opposed to entertaining. However, if you're bored and need a distraction or background noise, season two is on Netflix for your viewing pleasure. And, if this show interests you, check out 1000 ways to die (if you haven't already).

"Curious and Unusual Deaths" is a creepy Canadian television series that is currently streaming on Netflix. Not surprisingly, it's not a show for the squeamish, as it's all about death. However, in a morbid way it is fascinating and very watchable. Each episode consists of several deaths being described and re-enacted along with experts discussing the unusual deaths. The deaths in each show all have some sort of similarity (such as those about sports in the first episode and do it yourself projects in the third in season two).While I enjoyed the show, the quality of the research seemed iffy at times. Without even trying to find mistakes, I quickly noticed two. In episode 1, the narrator talked about a guy trying to catch kingfish and walleye in the Gulf of Mexico. Well, I live along the Gulf and would LOVE to catch a walleye...but can't because they are freshwater fish and are found no where near the Gulf. Also, episode 3 talks about a strange death in New Carrollton, Maryland---a town I lived near for over 20 years. Yet, oddly, they mispronounced the name at one point and no one seemed to catch it. These things certainly did not ruin the show, but made me wonder why the mistakes weren't caught by someone associated with the show.UPDATE: Since my review, I've seen some more episodes. The fifth one of season two is problematic, as the murder of Rasputin is clearly overstated and filled with myth. Sloppy. And, in the next episode, they repeated a myth about British pilots and carrots. REALLY sloppy!
