Project Blue Book Season 1: The show doesn't always stick to the facts, and is all the better for it

The show tries its best to stay accurate to historical facts; but what also makes it interesting are the digressions it chooses to make from the true story
UPDATED JAN 12, 2019

History's latest release, 'Project Blue Book' premiered January 8 and has already created a significant impact on viewers, with most of them upholding it in the league of the 90's hit, 'The X-Files.' While the similarities are aplenty, both in terms of characters and intelligent executions of the aliens and UFOs genre, the biggest contrast between the two shows is that 'Project Blue Book' is based on a real phenomenon.

Based on the real-life titular investigation undertaken by the US Air Force back in the 50s, the show tries its best to stay accurate to historical facts; but what also makes it interesting are the digressions it chooses to make from the true story.
