Think The Blair Witch Project meets Fire in the Sky meets The Da Vinci Code: Kentucky meets Catfish meets Ghost Hunters.

That's basically Hellier in a nutshell, a 2019 digital docuseries I had never heard of until late last week, but am now slightly obsessed with. So far, 15 episodes have aired across two seasons, I've seen the first six, and it's just the creepiest, most ridiculous, most addicting thing ever.

It's about a group of real-life paranormal investigators, who come across as good, level-headed people for the most part… but are also so high on their own supply, treating this case - one that brings them to Hellier, Kentucky, aka the Sh*thole Capitol of the World - like the most important paranormal investigation in history, partaking in some of the goofiest paranormal experiments I've ever seen (but also might be genius, for all I know), and will NOT shut up about "synchronicities," when it's so laughably clear that a number of them are anything but.

Still, the series apparently has a big cult following (no pun intended), and as maddening as this group's beliefs can be at times, I can't stop watching because the case itself, even if it ends up being complete baloney, is so twisty and creepy and compelling, that I have to see how it all shakes out. For what it is (a super-low-budget docuseries), it's incredibly well-done, if not a little too drawn-out and indulgent at times, but overall I can't help but recommend it for anyone who might be interested.

All 15 episodes are currently on Amazon, and I'm definitely curious to hear what others think…

Just a very weird show, but I really enjoyed it. I hope we get a season three.

I don't know how I completely missed it in 2019, seeing as it's right up my alley. Glad to know someone else here has seen it, though.

Freaking weird show but it's a lot of fun

Remind me to quit watching these episodes at night.

I finally finished both seasons yesterday, and while, on one hand, it remains one of the creepiest, most disturbing series I've ever seen, when you take a step back and consider events on the whole... not a lot really happens. As compelling as it can be at times, the series essentially amounts to nothing more than stories being told and emails being read. That's really it. I concede that there are a few compelling "synchronicities," which do, indeed, seem undeniable, but if ever there were a classic case of people ultimately seeing what they want to see, hearing what they want to hear, and connecting dots that likely aren't there, this is it.

Don't get me wrong, it's still worth watching just for the lore and the vibe alone - it truly is unlike anything I've ever seen, and I do think there could be *something* to all of this - but man, these people can get so caught up in their own nonsense, despite how sincere/likable most of them are.

All that said, when and if they ever get around to it, I would absolutely watch a third season, and this whole thing has definitely made me want to research this particular case/phenomenon more, so it's certainly a success in that regard.
