Dr. J. Allen Hynek is a brilliant but under appreciated college professor who is recruited by the U.S. Air Force to spearhead an operation called Project Blue Book. He is joined by his partner, Air Force Capt. Michael Quinn as they investigate UFO sightings around the country. They use science to determine what really happened to cause the sighting, and some cases cannot be explained. In those instances, Hynek believes he's being duped by the government into a larger conspiracy that covers up the truth. It is set in the Cold War and atomic era, and each case blends UFO theories with authentic historical events.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Project Blue Book will likely intrigue fans of the paranormal with its loose adaptation of historically unexplained phenomena, but this buttoned-down series lacks the narrative verve to appeal beyond the true believers.

Judy Berman TIME Magazine Project Blue Book works as a paranormal procedural in the X-Files mold; the story moves quickly, the performances elevate the scripts and episodes strike the right balance... Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire Tries to coast by recreating the facts and exploring how a skeptic might come to believe, but the doc's journey is sorely lacking in ingenuity. Rated: C Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Caroline Framke Variety 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. Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Jim Schembri 3AW The show is essentially a straight-faced, high-gloss lark as two investigators look into various strange happenings with the aim of discovering a rational explanation and so quell the public hysteria about aliens. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 10, 2020 Full Review John Townsend Starburst Writer David O'Leary has created a stylish, slick and interesting take on a subject matter that has never lacked coverage in film and television. Rated: 8/10 Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Alejandro Rojas Den of Geek Even if the show begins to deviate from reality drastically, Hynek and Malarkey are such intriguing characters, and the mysteries sufficiently fascinating; that I think the show will do well.

Matthew P This is awesome, I randomly discovered it and have binged the whole season in less than a week. Great acting and suspenseful story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Ban V What a breath of fresh air. Rolling, engaging plotlines hearkening back to the simplicity and joy of an early X files. Characters are all great. Knows exactly what it is, doesn't pretend to be anything other, but does it magnificently. Really conveys some of the sinister undercurrents of the period while conveying the beauty of them too. Best show in years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Audience Member it is so incredible l can't say a word just enjoy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Daniel T Good cast of actors, good characters, good stories. An X-Files show in the 1950s. Highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/09/22 Full Review Audience Member Excellent show - hope to see it get picked up by another network soon. Storylines align loosely in many cases to actual events - it has always been difficult for any series that supports this subject matter to pull off the success this show has attempting to revisit various actual case files while blending in other storylines of the times - highly recommend this show if you have any interest in the subject matter and just enjoy the show without criticizing the loose dramatization of the cases. Sad to see it end - 35k viewers have signed the petition to keep it going to date! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review jenaro v No se que tan real sea su historia, no lo parece mucho, pero alcanza a entretener, los personajes no son los mejores pero no están mal, el arco de la esposa con la espía rusa se vio demasiado de relleno aburrido.
