    Wow!, love this! So it's seems so far like X files meets the Americans... BUT REAL! Love that at the end of each episode, they break down the facts of what actually happened to piece together this well put together drama!

    I got to see the first two episodes and I am really excited to see where they take the season. The casting is brilliant - you can't go wrong with Aidan Gillen - and the script is believable and witty without being too much or silly. The cinematography is gorgeous as well and really on point. It seems like they budgeted everything well too because there is a nice balance of realistic propsI got to see the first two episodes and I am really excited to see where they take the season.

It seems like they budgeted everything well too because there is a nice balance of realistic props and set, which give it a genuine feel for the 50's without being too much, and also believable CGI. Very well done for a tv series. All the little extra plots and twists have me on the edge of my seat and eagerly awaiting next Tuesday!… Expand

    Pretty good show but while the cases are based on actual events as they are described in the Blue Book the story and some other things are completely fictional. Anyway the show is entertaining enough and it's a good X-Files alternative but i wish it was more historically accurate

    Big production value period setting is part of the allure of this episodic procedural based on true cases while the larger continuing science fiction mystery backdrop is the real reason to keep tuning in.

    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.
