The Curse of Oak Island

On Target is the latest episode of the long‑running adventure series that follows the Lagina family – mum Jess, dad Marco and their two teenage kids, Lila and Theo – as they chase down the mysterious tunnel that’s been hinted at since the first season. It’s essentially “the family‑trek‑through‑a‑dangerous‑cave” premise, but with a proper dash of humour and a sprinkle of old‑school special effects that feel a bit like a late‑90s BBC kids’ drama. In this instalment the Laginas finally get back into the Garden Shaft after months of grueling prep, and the tension builds as they navigate the twisting passages toward the tunnel they’ve been hunting all year. There are a few close‑calls, a couple of witty one‑liners from Lila, and a surprisingly emotional moment when Marco admits he’s scared of losing his kids in the dark. The episode keeps the mystery alive without spilling all the beans, so you’ll be left wanting to see what lies beyond the tunnel. Honestly, it’s not a groundbreaking piece of television – the pacing drags a touch when they’re just walking around the shaft, and the CGI tunnel entrance looks a bit ropy by today’s standards. Still, the family dynamics are solid, the jokes land more often than not, and the practical set work has a certain charm that makes it surprisingly good for a Saturday morning slot. Rated U, though there are a few tense sequences that could spook very young viewers. This is the first terrestrial broadcast of the episode, following a streaming‑only release earlier in the year, so if you missed that, now’s the chance to catch up. Fair warning: expect a mix of earnest adventure and a dash of dated production values.
