'Project Blue Book' could be 'The X-Files' of this generation, provided it doesn't insult its fans' intelligence

There are no green Martians with antennas and oddly oversized eyes walking around in 'Project Blue Book' and that is reason enough to call it the extraterrestrial watch of the year
UPDATED JAN 10, 2019

History channel is on a streak again, dropping some epic truth bombs in the form of its recent show 'Project Blue Book,' and just with its pilot that premiered January 8, the show established it's going to be a serious, no-nonsense ride into the alien genre and the underlying truth about them.

Viewers are in for a treat about the secrets and cover-ups of the titular project undertaken by the US Air Force back in the '50s after a sudden surge in 'alien' and 'UFO' sightings in the Washington DC area. The announcement of the show and its concept was enough to get fans buzzing about how the show might be similar to the '90s Fox thriller 'The X-Files,' and just one episode in, it has been confirmed it could be very much 'The X-Files' of our generation, provided it continues treating its target fans as an intelligent audience, the way it did with the pilot.
