I never thought I'd dislike something so much as to give it a one-star rating, but in this case I had no choice. This "documentary" is little more than a string of stock-footage and public-domain shots of rotating radio telescopes, NASA control rooms, TV-news animation backgrounds and home-brew CGI, with a droning voice-over that could've been---and probably was---compiled by lurking around a few of the cheesiest alien-conspiracy websites. The production values are so bad, and the lack of substantial content so profound, it baffles me how anyone was persuaded to have anything to do with it. But what's REALLY incredible is that I saw this on Netflix. Netflix! They were actually showing it! Why? Well, I suppose it couldn't have cost much to license. It's awful, though. Really.

The narration is very monotone and sounds hypnotic in a rather creepy way. Like some one has stated early, the video clips are not original and used over and over again. I completely lost interest early on when they did the voice over for Nikola Tesla; a Serbian man. Whilst talking about a signal he received, the show went and used a voice actor putting on the accent of an English peasant. Honestly, what the hell!? The guy sounds like a bad actor in Eastenders or something.
Wow.. definitely intended for the dumb

Is anyone even supposed to believe this crap?
The majority of "facts" in this documentary can be easily debunked with 3 seconds' worth of googling. Eerie music and "scary" backgrounds just make this documentary even more hilarious to watch. Genre should be changed to Stoners Comedy.
Utter Twaddle!

Unscientific data and unconvincing claims

There are a couple of nice space pictures (and a lot of bad animations too), but next to no convincing data. Not even the distance issues are discussed. Just the "sound" effects "created" by the planets of our solar system are misleading and actually not explained properly. There is lots of speculation and besides the slow and monotone speaker, there is no real scientist putting all those observations into perspective. Sorry, but I had to stop watching this after 20 min. Save your time.
No, no, no, no, no, no!!!!

The first few minutes seemed to be ok but then it just went downhill... fast. The narrator was truly awful, his accent was terrible, his pronunciation of words was irritating, for example, 'Pho - bo ws' ... instead of 'Pho-boss' and the amount of grammatical errors (for a narrator) was UNBELIEVABLE.
If you remember the kiddies sci-fi books that had bits of totally unrelated information and the reader, obviously a child, would be saying, "Wow!", well, this documentary was a version of that except I was saying, "WTF! ha ha"...
Steer your intergalactic spaceship clear of this alien BS and watch an episode of Star Trek with Jean Luc Picard instead.

This is an offense even to the most basic intelligence

I usually like far fetched quasi-documentaries, but this is simply idiotic. First 10 minutes seemed visually infantile but I thought it could be fun regardless. When the narrator said 'Nikola Tesla, the inventor of radio' I knew this is not going to go well AND THEN they put in Nikola Tesla's report in a british accent. I mean why? Why not make it in normal English? Or if you insist on accents, make it on Balkan accent then. Or any Slavic accent. And further down the line it only gets more stupid and borring.
For crying out loud...
Million Dollar Budget?????

Feels like a Youtube one man video on steroids...

Wow, I tried to watch it. I really like this kind of stuff, and thought "hey, a documenttary about aliens on Netflix, it must have interesting questions commented by cool people!"
Nah-ah. It's only one guy talking about a bunch of stuff without much support, with a rythm that made me sleepy. There is no one else commenting on what he tells, to corroborate or aknowledge what he is talking is true or just ramblings on conspiracy theories... A waste of time...
More lies!

It's a very dark documentary, which I like; kind of eerie. I felt like as much as it had alien hoax elements to it, it also had a lot of true science to it as well. It's a good space documentary if you are also inspired by the unknown. Plus, the best part about the alien "hoaxe's", is that we don't really know, so it makes it interesting. If you're like me and sci-fi, alien conspiracy, theoretical physics and the unknown are your thing, then this documentary is definitely for you!
