'In Search Of' episode 4 review: 'Artificial Intelligence' proves to be surprisingly informative

An improvement from 'Monsters of the Deep,' the fourth episode still brings along with it some noticeable flaws
UPDATED AUG 20, 2018

History's 'In Search Of' has been quite the topsy-turvy ride. One could be forgiven for having high expectations of the show considering the gloried history. Its initial run between 1977 and 1982 had Leonard Nimoy as its host and was a cult-hit amongst science fiction fans due to his popularity as Spock in the Star Trek universe — as well as the fact that Zachary Quinto would be its new host in its second reboot.

Quinto famously took over the role of Spock in the 2009 'Star Trek' reboot and would be following in Nimoy's footsteps once again here, and while the 41-year-old has proved to be a more-than-capable host, the show itself has little redeemable value.

The first three episodes were accompanied by far more negatives than positives and 'Monsters of the Deep' was arguably the worst of the lot. First, the title proved to be a gross exaggeration; a click-baity aberration that attempted to oversell the premise to grab eyeballs.
