The Real Review

It's a divisive show where people are pretty much split on whether it's fascinating or nonsense. The central premise, asking if aliens visited ancient Earth, gets a lot of discussion, though much of it is negative, with specific claims about the pyramids or Stonehenge getting slammed. The show is largely carried by its personality, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, who is the most talked-about thing in it, even if the talk isn't exactly kind. The narration and presentation are polished, which some find funny in a good way, but the core "story" and theories are widely panned.
