As they say, quality over quantity. Unfortunately, "Unsolved Mysteries" Volume 4 doesn't live up to this saying. Released more than a year after the last volume, this new installment is the shortest yet and, in our opinion, the worst in terms of quality and effort.
Three new tales of crime, mysteries, and more are presented, exploring a plethora of unexplained and unsolved murders and encounters of the supernatural. This volume revisits the infamous killing spree of Jack the Ripper in London in the 1880s and the Mothman, which now seems to be showing increased activity over Chicago. True crime aficionados can look forward to three tales of mysterious deaths and even a severed head. Can you help solve some of these cases?
Unlike "Unsolved Mysteries" Volume 3, which surprised us with strong paranormal episodes, Volume 4 lacks substantial material to stand out and be on par with its predecessors. Despite containing only five episodes, the first and last episodes were not as compelling as the others. The first episode tackles Jack the Ripper, a case familiar to any true crime aficionado. The episode doesn't present anything new or interesting to justify its inclusion. The last episode, addressing the resurgence of the Mothman legend in Chicago, was weak, with the time spent feeling wasted and filler material. There was an opportunity to be scary, but the presentation failed to creep us out with it presenting mixed visuals.
However, the true crime material in this season was the highlight. Episode 2 stood out with the gruesome and unexplained circumstances of a death in a basement - the plausible reality of the situation leaving a mark with viewers for sure. Episodes 3 and 4 were also strong, with stories that grabbed our attention and engaged us to think who could have done it. Unfortunately, the short length of this volume required standout cases in each episode, which was not the reality for Volume 4.
