A series that embodies the flavor of X-Files, the legendary TV series that had us hooked week after week. It was a very American series, where ordinary people were put in extraordinary situations related to UFOs.

A documentary that knows how to handle the pace in each episode, narrating the story and making it believable all the time, as if it was (and it is) a true X-Files case.
On the cinematic front, it’s super entertaining, almost excellent: A genre series that takes us into the realm of abductions and paranormal phenomena, knowing how to illuminate scenes, create the appropriate ambiance, select the right music for each moment, and control the pace.
Perfect within its genre, designed for the delight of enthusiasts of these stories, and it always leaves us with the same series-inspired question: Do these phenomena exist?
