    Even if it’s less nuanced than The Americans and a bit cornier than The X-Files, Project Blue Book has a pulpy energy that carries it over its rougher patches. Whether it has legitimately grand truths to uncover remains to be seen, but for now, it recognizes that concrete answers aren’t nearly as entertaining as mankind’s enduring (and tantalizing) quest to comprehend the great unknown.

    Too often “Project Blue Book’s” approach makes “Dora the Explorer” look like a work of subtlety. Government coverup? Check. Conspiracy? Sure. Shadowy men wearing fedoras? Why not? The truth may be out there, but is it here? With a series like this, it’s best to indulge your own inner Scully.

Could Laura Mennell's character be any more clueless? Can her new Russian Agent Friend get access to secure areas of an airbase that easily? There are so many groups to keep track of yet none of them seem to be doing anything other than just being in the background of each episode. The two generals are unrealistic, Neal McDonough's character gave them the project assignment and then gets furious when they do their work, which isn't much of any accomplishment... why?

The useless introduction of men kissing and the seduction of the wife by anotherThis second episode really has taken the show off the rails. The useless introduction of men kissing and the seduction of the wife by another woman is just that useless. There is enough UFO material from the 50's to keep this show afloat but the main story lines are not about UFO's. They seem to be an aside for the Men in Black intrigue running through the show.
    Come on! Give us some real writing like the X-files had.    … Full Review »
