Galileo Mystery was an offshoot of Galileo magazine . Like Galileo, it was produced by the German television station ProSieben .
concept
Galileo Mystery has been broadcast at irregular intervals on Fridays after a feature film on ProSieben since January 19, 2007. A total of 68 episodes were filmed. The broadcast format was discontinued in 2009. Story House Productions, a 50 percent subsidiary of Spiegel-TV, took over the production .
In contrast to Galileo , the program accompanied by Aiman Abdallah does not deal with topics of everyday life, but with historical or mystical events or people. In some cases, the theme of the previous feature film was taken up, so the first episode after the feature film The Da Vinci Code was titled Da Vinci Code - In Search of the Holy Grail .
Aiman Abdallah and his team, journalist and historian Jochen Voit as well as psychologist and science journalist Sibel Balta , traveled to alleged locations of important events and searched historical records in search of new facts.
The voice from the off, who formulated the questions of the programs, was mostly Joachim Kerzel , the dubbing voice of Jack Nicholson . In some cases, however, Klaus-Dieter Klebsch can also be heard.
Almost every episode a tension-creating experiment on this subject is carried out. Comparisons are often used (e.g. in episode 3 - Ninjas : A ninja is compared with a modern elite soldier or in episode 56 - Gladiators : An ancient gladiator is compared with a modern police force).
criticism
The broadcast format was criticized by Spiegel Online , for example , which accuses Galileo Mystery of, among other things, a "lurid" and "pseudo-documentary style". It is also criticized that despite the initial announcement of the discovery of previously unknown secrets, in the end no new findings are revealed.
The result of the question is often underpinned by extremely questionable pseudo- evidence, which is supposed to prove, for example, the existence of the hereafter (episode 22) or the power of the Bermuda Triangle (episode 46). Often, comparisons are used, they are often only illuminated from one side and the point of view then obtained is presented as the only truth or the final outcome is seen as given. Today, for example, very little is known about the fighting techniques and strategies of gladiators, which makes a comparison almost impossible and not obvious.
The acting performance of Abdallah was also criticized. The Tagesspiegel reports that the historian Jochen Voit only checked the partly prefabricated texts for correctness before he presented them. Among other things, Galileo Mystery is parodied by Switch reloaded , where Bernhard Hoëcker , Martina Hill and Michael Kessler lead the team and its way of working into the absurd.
