UFOs

2021–2022 · 2 seasons

A wry, gentle workplace comedy about rationalists chasing the irrational, with a nostalgic 1970s French flavour and a quietly melancholic heart.

Overview: As the dreams of Didier Mathure, a brilliant space engineer, literally go up in smoke when his rocket explodes on take-off, he is transferred to head GEPAN, a unit specializing in UFOs. He is tasked with coming up with scientific explanations for the UFO sightings that are currently dominating the headlines. This is a nightmare job for a die-hard rationalist like him, and he is determined to find a way out as soon as he can.
How it feels: Whimsical, satirical, earnest and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Obsession, faith, identity, family
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
