Critics

Audience

Two FBI agents investigate marginalized, unsolved cases involving paranormal phenomena, strange crimes, and other unexplained events. One is an open-minded believer in aliens and the supernatural, while the other applies skepticism and scientific reasoning, creating a tense partnership as they search for answers.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy eerie investigations, paranormal mysteries, and a believer-and-skeptic partnership, especially shows such as Fringe; Not for you if you dislike slow pacing, repetition, or unresolved questions.
