Already on the planner to record, looking forward to and it has a reasonable cast as well.

I didn't know it was going to be on, just happened to be watching day after tomorrow before it, the wife was putting my son to bed to I thought I'd give it a go. I enjoyed it and have added it to the planner. Looking forward to next week.

I've watched five of these now and really enjoying them.
A definite feeling of X-files set in the 50's, and the production standards and effects seem pretty good.
I think they're a bit heavy handed on the 'mysterious shadowy men in black', but other than that it's been very good.
Aiden Gillen has been good as the professor.

I set a series link up for this when I heard about it, haven't seen any of it yet, glad it seems to be getting good reviews.

Does anyone else remember Project UFO from the 1970s, also loosely based on Project Blue Book files.

Saw the first episode last night, it was OK. It didn't blow me away as much as I thought it would, but it was enjoyable. Will be interesting to see how it develops.

Season 2 just started. Really enjoyed the first one. X Files in the 50's is a pretty acurate description ^^^ although it is more Mulder and Mulder rather than Mulder and Scully as sexism was still rife in the 50's laugh

Thanks for that. Just caught the first episode of season 2. Hadn't realised it had returned!

Is this on the same channel now? Hopefully I'll have it still series linked as I actually enjoyed the first season.

It seems to be following the X Files formula, even creating their own 'smoking man' in one of the Generals.

I'm hoping it can keep itself separate and not just fall into the well-trodden path of tv shows before it
