In Search of... (1977–1982)
10/10
The Best Docudrama Series.
30 July 2013
I grew up watching this series, and having seen the DVD set( released at long last!)I still feel this series holds up remarkably well.

Leonard Nimoy hosts for all six seasons, and does a commendable job of presenting all stories seriously, and sometimes interacts with the people involved(like in 'Learning ESP') It is commendable how it presents ancient cultures like Native Americans or the Incas with respect and no condescension.

This series was directed, scored, and edited with skill, style, and care, and presents the subjects(like 'Ghosts' & 'UFOs') with palpable atmosphere that its modern imitators either fail at, or don't even bother attempting.

This show holds up, and will enjoy watching it many more times.
