A compelling viewing that will delight those with an interest in, and maybe even illuminate a few non believers. Go to Full Review
Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) 11/08/2021
In the Abrams series, some of the people who are the most confused and uncertain are also the most compelling. There is genuine pain in being so thoroughly disbelieved... Go to Full Review

Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice 08/12/2021
Abrams and his team of directors have made an insightful four-part study of the whole UFO obsession ranging from cases to what it means culturally. Go to Full Review

8/10
UFO left me wanting to more of its smart and insightful investigations, and with two episodes yet to come, the docuseries makes a strong case for further exploration. Go to Full Review

11/26/2021 Neither the show nor the people in it are new or have anything new to say. But that isn't the main reason why I give this Documentary a low rating. It really is done bad. Cut scenes are wild and confusing, jumping topics - if you aren't in the UFO scene you get lost - and it is only focused on the US. "95% of it is BS" - George Knapp, I agree 100% See more Jerad W @JeraBear 08/29/2021 The age old 'VISITORS/UFO PHENOMENON' (yes, for all you normies out there, there have been reports of Visitors & Flying Silent Craft since before Medieval Times......e.g. they even show up in Old Religious Paintings) deserves better than a Jar Jar Abrams & Bad Reboot Treatment.......especially when that treatment brings absolutely NOTHING new to the table in terms of Evidence, Background or Revelations to the Cause of Proving -or- indeed Disproving the age old question: ARE.......WE........ALONE?* (* For all you Normies out there, it has been stated by top scientists that due to the sheer number of stars & planets just in our Galaxy alone, it is virtually mathematically impossible that we are alone in the Universe.......put that in your Vaporizer & ';Smok' it) See more Bill H @Bueno469 08/16/2021 The series doesn't prove nor disprove anything. And while I wouldn't expect that they necessary could answer the myriad of questions surrounding UFOs, etc., I did have hope that it would at least be interesting or entertaining. The series is just a grand waste of time. See more 08/15/2021 This is just a repackaging of professional fantasists from previous decades, pathetically peddling the same old nonsense for a new generation of suckers. It is especially disturbing to see J.J. Abrams et al giving credibility to that disgraced Harvard crackpot John Mack, who led people with serious psychological problems to believe they had been abducted by aliens. Absolutely irresponsible. See more 08/13/2021 This was a good documentary. It felt current and delved into some areas I was not already familiar with. It felt somewhat disorganized, but that's forgivable because of the subject matter, and I was hoping for some sort of a-ha moment that never really came, but again...completely forgivable. I recommend it even if you only have a passing interest in the subject of UFOs. See more Patrick F @Sigma_Fish 08/13/2021 It's ok but mostly stuff people already know See more Read all reviews
