'Project Blue Book' Season 1 Episode 2: The show's depiction of the '50s is what makes 'The Flatwoods Monster' a must-watch
History Channel's 'Project Blue Book' is off to a good start roping in around 3.1 million viewers, and a lot of the credit goes to the brilliant presentation of the jazzed-up '50s era the show is set in. Based on true incidents involving the United States' most daunting conspiracies on aliens, the show follows the real-life events of Dr. J Allen Hynek, played by Aiden Gillen, who is hired by the US Air Force to help assist Captain Michael Quinn, played by Michael Malarkey, to cover up the unearthly incidents that seemed to be at its peak during the 1950s.
The show extends far beyond what its content holds, and includes themes such as women's sexuality, discrimination, and probably the most selling theme of them all — a government ploy to keep the truth from civilians.
