Even the most common, ordinary objects in the modern world and history may contain secret messages, steeped in codes and symbols. Brad Meltzer's Decoded is a show where the viewer follows a team of investigators who try to determine the meanings behind various symbolism, alleged secret codes and conspiracies that surround us everyday. In each episode, these credible researchers will travel far and wide to examine the clues and decode the hidden meaning behind these seemingly innocuous origins. They will canvas the darkest reaches of the world to connect dots toward revealing a deeper truth.
I love this show. I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist or a Conspiracy buff, I just enjoy watching shows dealing with Historical and unsolved mysteries. I agree with some critics that the show is far from being perfect, but each episode is full of interesting and fascinating information, and I've learned a lot while watching these episodes. Keep an open mind while watching this show, and don't take EVERYTHING they say too seriously. If, like me, you buy a lot of Historical documentaries on DVD then add this set to your collection, you won't regret it. The show is not perfect, maybe not for everyone, but it's definitely a fun show to watch. Enjoy ! :)
This set contains all 10 episodes from Season 1, each episode is 45 minutes long.
1. The White House
Brad and the team continue the 200-year search for the mysterious White House cornerstone. Supposedly laid down in 1792 by members of the secretive Freemasons, records are sketchy on the history of this stone which has been sought after by those such as Harry S. Truman and Barbara Bush.
2. Secret Presidential Codes
Brad and the team investigate the suspicious suicide of one of the world's greatest explorers, Meriwether Lewis, (of Lewis and Clark fame), who may have died while in possession of secret codes for president Thomas Jefferson and clues that his death may have been an assassination.
3. Statue of Liberty
Brad and the team study the iconic Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom and prosperity, or so it seems until they uncover symbolism on the structure that may reflect a more sinister meaning and its significance to the "power number" of "7".
4. The Lincoln Assassination
Brad and the team look into 150-year-old rumors that John Wilkes Booth wasn't killed 12 days after he assassinated President Abraham Lincoln, but escaped with the help of a look-alike and aided by the Confederate military to go on to live another 40 years.
5. Confederate Gold
Brad and the team try to decipher secret messages and cryptic maps left behind by the mysterious "Knights of the Golden Circle" who may have hid millions of dollars worth of silver and gold from the Confederate treasury in secret caches across America.
6. D.B. Cooper
Brad and the team investigate evidence focusing on suspect Kenneth Christiansen, that he may have been hijacker D. B. Cooper, who in 1971, bailed out of an airliner at 10,000 feet over Washington state, with $200,000 in ransom money and was never seen again - the only unsolved airline hijacking in U.S. history.
7. 2012
Brad and the team work to decipher the meanings behind numerous ancient prophecies, from the predictions of Nostradamus, to Hopi and Mayan legends, to Muslim and Christian texts, to even predictions made by an internet analysis program called the Web Bot, that supposedly warn of worldwide destruction in the year 2012.
8. The President's Inner Circle
Brad and the team look into the history and the people involved in the Culper Spy Ring - a covert team of ordinary citizens; shopkeepers, tavern owners and housewives - who played a vital role in helping save the United States by spying on the British during the Revolutionary War, over 200 years ago.
9. Secret Societies
Brad sends his team in to penetrate the Bohemian Grove - a secretive and tightly guarded gathering of the elite in a Northern California redwood forest, to pursue rumors of bizarre rituals, sacrifices and secret meetings said to influence the lives of everyday Americans. Joining them is conspiracy talk radio host Alex Jones who secretly video taped a grove ritual in July 2000.
10. Apocalypse in Georgia
Brad's team goes to Elberton, Georgia to investigate the Georgia Guidestones - a granite monument commissioned by a mysterious individual, "R.C. Christian", (who is suspected to be part of the Rosicrucian sect), whereupon multilingual messages are written that some suggest are plans to rebuild civilization after an apocalyptic disaster.

Many people bash this show for not being correct all the time and trying to get people to question everything around us. To me, this is what makes this show special! I mean even in the 9th episode or so the team got arrested for trespassing on private property! I hope there is going to be a season 2 because the information they provide on this show is awesome and it is very thrilling and entertaining to watch. Buy it!

Ok, before I review this, I have to say that I was already a huge Meltzer fan before I saw the show. That being said, the show is absolutely wonderful. The team looks at different historical mysteries and travels to talk to experts and find clues. The team is great - they all have such different opinions, so they each give something unique to the show. Meltzer, himself, is hilarious! Although he does not travel with the team, he provides many of the contacts while cracking jokes and analyzing the team's research. The History Channel produced the show, so you know that it is well executed.

Great Series
Yes, some of the episodes are cheesy but it gets people talking about history. I'm not sure if the series has been renewed for season 3. If it is renewed I'll be watching.

Slow
Too much hype and not enough genuine information. The information was presented in an overacted, faux dramatic fashion. Needed more meat.
