Review of History's "Project Blue Book": UFO Propaganda as Turgid Drama - Jason Colavito Blog

Jason Colavito accords the new History Channel tv series Project Blue Book, scheduled to premiere on Tuesday, January 8, two out of five stars, for numerous reasons he details regarding accuracy, acting, dialogue, settings, and guiding intent (other than to make money). Paste Magazine's Film Editor Matt Brennan takes a wider, more charitable view of at least the pilot episode, even while saying the series "isn't much more than The X-Files in period clothing" and noting issues like "the dreadful B plot." Brennan's article suggests that Project Blue Book offers a new way forward for the network. However, what is meant by that and Brennan's more positive "spin" on the new program seem very much a relative comparison to other recent History Channel offerings such as Ancient Aliens. That series Brennan terms "the most ghastly fraud on television this side of Fox News, a conspiratorial Reddit thread brought to life and piped like carbon monoxide into the homes of its viewers." A characterization Jason Colavito himself might wish he had originated. (WM)
