There will probably only be one Lost Loves episode in the season, and I'm sure it'll be a doozy. It'll be something that can't easily be solved with social media.

I can’t see there being much in the way of lost loves.
One thing I have to say I am happy about the more I think of it is the single segment per show. The reason I say this is because so many documentary shows being made in the last 10 years or so that have more than 1 segment per show (not even talking mystery shows in particular, just documentaries in general), have the absolute most annoying approach. They constantly jump back and forth from case to case. So you get a few minutes of the first story, then the first few minutes of the next story. They then go back to the first story, then second, first and so on. Absolutely the most annoying presentation of a story I have seen. So with a revival of Unsolved Mysteries, I could see them going this route if it were multiple segments per episode, just because that is a current trend. So for me that is one saving grace for the single segment format. |

The more I think about it the more I'm happy about it as well.
I look at threads on this board, like Chaim Weiss as an easy example, and there's enough stuff to fill a 6 part documentary and it's crammed into 12 minutes. We'll get to have better information and a more complete narrative. |

As far as the viewer numbers, don’t underestimate Netflix. In 2018, it had over 148 million subscriptions worldwide. Of course not every single one will be tuning in to every show, but crime documentaries are insanely popular on Netflix. If they give it enough hype, it will likely do better than on NBC. At least in my opinion. Streaming is really the future of TV. While everyone may not agree with this, that is just how it is. Not to say cable is going away though. Cable will have its place for a while. Personally, my belief is cable as we know it now will be going away as it will likely become a hybrid of sorts with services like Netflix. But even that will be a few years down the road. |

It's a safe bet that it will premiere in October as a tie-in to Halloween.
And you're right. UM on Netflix will have a bigger audience than it did on NBC. |

There are 120 million U.S. TV households in the U.S. The latest figures on the news said about HALF of homes get Netflix. Out of those that do get Netflix maybe 5% will watch UM? Remember UM has a cult following on here but almost nobody in the public remembers it anymore. So there is NO way Netflix has the reach NBC had! |

To reach the high-watermark of UM viewership, 11.2% (16.6M) of Netflix subscribers would have to watch it. To match the low point of UM viewership, 6% (8.6M) of Netflix subscribers would have to watch it. Unsolved Mysteries (the '19 reboot) is being produced by the folks behind Stranger Things, which is a cultural behemoth that commands the attention of a large swath of Netflix subscribers (I'm guessing much more than 12% of subscribers). I'm also a believer that UM shifting their time slot from Wednesday nights to Friday nights significantly reduced viewership. With Netflix, you could just watch whenever you feel, "you do you". I'm also guessing that Film Rise's upload of the entire series to the "forbidden site" will significantly boost interest as well. |

All of the big hits people are talking about are not coming from network television. It's not 1987 anymore.

Not only was there no smartphones, tablets, or streaming in 1987 there wasn't even an internet yet! Quote a lot of people didn't even have a home computer either! |
