The Alaska Triangle (2020– )

The premise of the series is that a mysterious force is behind the unexplained disappearances & disasters of persons/aircraft/vessels navigating waters or airspace in an area of Alaska, as in Bermuda Triangle mystique. Sooo, a few episodes allow for a brief parallel but it quickly erodes into a paranormal arena that neither "requires" any particular location nor is the show enhanced by trying to connect geolocation to certain events. The burned cabin was a disturbing episode to say the least, even if it was shown as part of a ghost busters program. A murder victim buried under a house? Haunting aside, where are the authorities on this cold (sorry about the pun) case? Worse and utterly unconscionable, what are they doing attempting to excavate the body of a young woman, a presumed homicide victim, on public television?! What about the family? How does one sit through this without considering the legalities, the ethics, even the morality of such insensitivity to human life and family or friends connected to the victim? There is no place for this on any show. I am appalled. Sensationalism is a cheap way to try to buy an audience but when disregard for human dignity is abandoned for the sake of airtime it should not be overlooked by the audience, or in this case, authorities.
