'In Search Of' episode 6 review: 'Sinkholes' shows us the human side of disasters
History's second reboot of 'In Search Of' proved to be quite disappointing so far, getting off to an inauspicious start with its first three episodes. Though they had a few redeeming elements, poor production, over-dramatization, and excessive fluff meant that it didn't hold up to the high standards of its Leonard Nimoy-hosted predecessor. That being said, episode 4 and episode 5 have proven to be significant improvements, with Zachary Quinto and the team taking a more scientific approach and thus managing to make the premises more gripping.
The series' last episode 'Time Travel' did not get off to a good start. To tackle a topic that had been at the crux of science fiction for well over a century and had intrigued some of humanity's greatest minds, the producers decided they would interview Andrew D. Basiago, a man who claimed he had time traveled multiple times. Quinto, to his credit, expresses his skepticism at Basiago's claims and, after that nadir, it was smooth sailing.
