=Buzzfeed Unsolved=

Buzzfeed Unsolved is a YouTube series that deals with both true crime and the supernatural. For the most part, the series falls into many of the same traps that your typical series concerning conspiracy theories, the supernatural, and aliens will fall into.

The show is chiefly intended to entertain and is quite self-aware but still gives way too much leeway to some pretty suspect reasoning when dealing with the "paranormal".

Format
Each episode, our hosts introduce the subject, like a particular haunted house or a cold case, then run through the specifics of the subject, usually by following a timeline of relevant events associated with it. Quite often the hosts are on location, though sometimes they're in a studio or on set. During this time, and throughout the show really, each host shares their own views of the information as it is divulged in humorous back-and-forth dialogue transposed on the screen. After the basics are covered they go over official investigations or popular theories on the subject, which can range from the reasonable and even likely to the completely absurd.

Hosts
Ryan Bergara (current) - The show's champion of the paranormal, ufology, and conspiracy theories. Ryan's been around since day one, scaring himself silly all the while. In the face of the most absurd, unbelievable nonsense he will often at least play devil's advocate.

Shane Madej (current) - The sensible one and noted non-believer of all things paranormal. He's open to the existence of aliens, though not like that ones Ryan believe in. Open to (plausible) conspiracy theories as well.

Brent Bennet (former) - Was the Shane before Shane and acted as the voice of reason in early episodes of the show.

Episode Guide
BU has split its episodes into two distinct categories with their own seasons, true crime and supernatural.
