Project UFO

This is not as bad as the other review suggests. True, there is a bedroom scene and brief views of a woman's rear and breast, but they are very brief and integral to the plot.

It is not really science-fiction. The story is more about the competition among the media in covering a UFO story. It takes place in Poland during the Cold War, so politics are involved as well.

I found it amusing. Some characters are quite quirky, and the acting is good (I am assuming, since I do not speak Polish),

While I do not mind reading subtitles, parts of the plot were a bit confusing to me, thus the 7/10 rating.

If you do not go into the show expecting alien abductions and such, you might enjoy it.

Project UFO is set in 1980s communist Poland, where competing media personalities are on a quest to find evidence proving the existence of aliens. Interest spikes when stories about a possible "Polish Roswell" begin to circulate, and the growing body of evidence suggests the event might actually be real. But under a communist regime, nothing is that simple-various individuals within the system have their own interests and motivations to get involved.

This mini-series, with four episodes in its first season-and no confirmation of a second season-features a cast of unique and quirky characters. We follow a handful of people from the village where the UFO sightings originated, as well as government officials and media figures, all of whom operate under the influence of state interests. Much of the series revolves around relationships, secrets, and the ongoing effort to uncover the truth behind the incident.

I thought the acting was solid across the board. Since this is a Polish show with voice-over dubbing, I can't fully evaluate the original performances, but everything looked convincing to me. The cast included plenty of small gestures and subtle moments that, while not essential to the plot, showed a real commitment to quality. There were even a few characters that felt straight out of The X-Files. I also appreciated how the series constantly keeps you guessing about whether the UFO incident was real or not.

I learned about this show from tweet from Hideo Kojima(creator of death stranding and metal gear solid) where he praised it.

The story, acting, set design, cinematography and basically everything about this show is 10/10 and feels very fresh. I enjoyed absolutely every second of it.

I really wish marketing for it was handled better , because I would have missed one of my favorite shows, if i haven't opened twitter randomly that day.

Reading the negative comments here, after watching the show, they feel more hilarious, than infuriating. Its beyond me how you can completely miss the entire point of the show and be so confident. Its like Colin Robinson wrote them.

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.
