The show also heavily plays with fable.

UFO sightings were a real common thing in Minnesota, so in the show a real UFO comes, because it’s people telling the story as they saw it. The true part is that people truly tell the stories, and in that sense, since they told this story it truly is a true story.



Stupid show. I watched the entire first season waiting for the guy to turn out to be an alien and then I find out it's in the second season and it's just a UFO sighting.


Did you watch the whole first season since I made my comment? Or why did you think somebody was going to be an alien in S01?


I saw a screenshot that showed a UFO in a review of the show and I figured it must have aliens in it.


The original movie had Steve Buscemi. He kind of looks like an alien. Does that count?


There aren’t UFOs in season 1 though.

Did you somehow watch season 2 without watching season 1?

I’m also not sure if none of the characters being aliens really makes the show stupid. That analysis would apply to quite a few shows.
