The problem I have with Mayday is that there is only about 10min of footage repeated over an hour (45min + ad breaks). Most of the time is filled with summaries (after ad breaks), suspense (obtained by temporarily truncating explanations), questions and hyperboles. Also, it's very US-centric, as if no citizen of other nation were as competent as US ones. Multiplied explanations for the same fact feel like they think I'm 5, and the repetion feels like brainwashing. I come out of watching feeling like it would fit in 2 minutes, even though the original non-repeated content is probaboy more than that. I'd love if they could do a cross-season episodes: "It has been found that (spoiler alert) flight XYZ failed because of reasons A, B and C. The cause A happens over 3 accidents, let's study the 2 other causes. C happened when landing the space shuttle too and in the building collapse in another country. (etc)"
- protomyth 10y agoThat's pretty common and makes the show way cheaper to make. Discovery did a what if dragons were real "documentary" which probably had a whole 10 minutes of footage stretched in an hour. The constant repeats after every commercial were hideous.
