Title: Undiscovered TV Show
Post by: Jerry Organ on October 05, 2020, 05:54:43 PM
Discovery Channel has a new series called "Undiscovered". It premiered last night with "The Lost Lincoln". (Link (https://www.discovery.com/dnews/long-lost-photo-of-abraham-lincoln-on-deathbed-featured-in-new-d))

The show evaluates a surreptitious photo said to have been taken of Lincoln just after death, along with forensics and medical issues related to the assassination. Very good documentary, but the flash-editing and filler recapping took away from it. I watched it as a recording and would skip parts, but it was still intrusive.

    Host Dr. Whitny Braun is a professional authenticator.
Though not visible in the photo above, I noticed her
link-chart had a copy of the JFK back-of-the-head
autopsy photo. Maybe that's a future topic.

The channel has another good one coming up of interest to British Empire folk this Friday called "Everest's Greatest Mystery", about Mallory and Irvine. Please note that the channel sometimes draws backlash, most famously for the 2013 pseudo-documentary "Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives", and some shows are sensationalized.
