Project UFO

Watched it all in a binge, felt engaged and made me want more.

Witty, intelligent and visually cool. Half of the actors feel like normal you and me people. The others are portrayed like cartoon figures, a pretty unusual mix.

70s vibe may be a bit overdone, orange everywhere, yellow cars, cigarettes and all, but who cares.

Old SF fan here, hate what Hollywood has made out of the Genre. "UFO project" feels more like a SF short story with obscure twists and turns and mixed in satire. Give it a chance my friends.

Nothing for viewers who dwell on the typical braindead action, good vs evil, the chosen liberator theme, and/or computer supported special effect. All done by hand by true artisans.

Show is very entertaining. If you're into period pieces it definitely is something different for us in the United States. The title is a bit misleading but not untrue. The show does revolve around chasing leads for a story about "Polands Roswell" but that's just the surface plot. There is way more going on. The set pieces, the music, and the atmosphere are really good. It is also not a "laugh out loud" comedy, although it does have a lot of dark and quirky humor. Don't listen to the braindead reviews for from people complaining about lack of aliens or comparing it to Stranger Things. I don't think they even watched the show. One admitted they didn't.

For me (and my wife), this is just such a benignly smart and media-literate series, full of artistic, meta(and pata)physical, colourist, humourist, surreal, and retro references, while reaching high and low almost simultaneously. (Noticed possible David Lynch and the Coens allusions.) Just started watching it a second time, and will probably a third. But I admit that so far on this second watch I am already missing the disorientation that my first watch produced. Cleverly, the story line is both literal and non-literal, so always had my attention. Who knew that Poland could produce such brilliancy! I just can't recommend this enough to those who have the imagination to appreciate it.

Wow can't understand the low rating on this one. I rarely ever write reviews, but when I saw the low score I had to set record straight. What a fun experience to be had. A well written, beautifully shot, unique show. Vibrant colors, nailed the 80s feel, quirky characters, interesting storyline, good acting, great dialogue, I mean what else do you want? Also a very cool soundtrack. I've seen just about everything under the sun, this was a refreshingly good time. I'm giving it a well deserved 8 out of 10. Do yourself a favor and check it out, then leave a proper rating so the IMDb folks out there don't overlook this one.

Like your Sci-Fi retro, with a light humour and quirky? You won't go far wrong with Projekt UFO on Netflix. Polish production, set during political upheaval in that country, a fading tv star and a UFO enthusiast haunted by his brother's disappearance, investigate Poland's Roswell. Beautifully shot and designed, with a great colour palette which somehow emphasises the bleakness of the times.

There's subtle nods to other shows and films about alien visitors, it even has it's own Smoking Man (with his own idiosyncrasy), but location and time it's set really make it original. I'm sure some will watch and want an English language remake, I thought myself that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost would cover the male lead roles, but a remake would be a mistake, missing out on the uniqueness of the Polish setting.

Great 80s style electronic synth soundtrack too.
