About this show

The River follows the story of famed explorer and TV personality, Emmet Cole, who's gone missing while on an unchartered mission in the Amazon. Will his family and friends find him alive during their search or will they discover something more sinister, deadly or even supernatural? From Oren Peli, the director of Paranormal Activity, this riveting new thriller takes you deep into the unknown, where the only thing darker than family secrets is the mystery at the heart of the Amazon.

The idea behind this show was good but very poorly executed. The appeal of the found footage genre is that it feels like actual found footage. Real found footage does not have background music, it does not have perfect camera angles, its audio is not seamless when switching cameras, people don't always have perfect hairstyles... What makes it even worse is that the acting is quite bad, the characters are cliches and the background music is excessive and ridiculous.
