The TelegraphAnita Singh Jul 11, 2022
Season 1 Review: The series is bogged down by the convoluted film-making, which involves a crew in 2021 reporting on the work of a crew from 2014, and uses footage from both. Like Betzner himself, the film-makers think they’re very smart, but the end result is messy. Read full review

Season 1 Review: We feel that once you get past the first episode of The Invisible Pilot, the craziness of Gary Betzner’s story kicks in. But the first episode makes it a little tough to get to that point. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Invisible Pilot could have been cut down into something more clear-minded and propulsive or fleshed out into something more relatable and emotionally rich. It’s neither.
