    I really love this show. The actual Project Blue Book was published when I was in High School, but watching the events dramatized is so much better. My only criticism is that many of us who are over 50 have hearing problems (maybe we attended too many concerts or were on too many firing ranges), but either way, the background music overwhelms the show and makes it difficult to even hearI really love this show.

Tone down the music so we can hear what is being said!… Expand

    This show is trash. If it were about fictional characters, it might be OK. The problem lies with this being broadcast on the History channel and being about actual people. Taking poetic license with historic figures, as all historic dramatizations do, is expected -- but this goes beyond poetic license and into the realm of malicious misinformation.

Taking poetic license with historic figures, as all historic dramatizations do, is expected -- but this goes beyond poetic license and into the realm of malicious misinformation. Nothing like these events happened to Hynek. He disagreed with the government being so quick to dismiss UFO sightings, but only because their science was sloppy -- not because he encountered actual aliens when investigating.

    This show takes the already out-of-control urban myth that Project Bluebook was a cover-up and cranks it up a few more notches, feeding the paranoid and misinformed more nonsense.    … Expand

    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.

    Even if the show has trouble finding its sea legs, it’s a perfectly fun bit of distraction that could find an admirable groove if it proves willing to take a step back and make some calculated adjustments.

    Project Blue Book feels like “X-Files” Lite, only with a whole lot of indistinguishable men--and all the women are stuck on the sideline.
