Adam G It wasn't bad entertainment but clearly a hoax. It just didn't even ask the obvious question that other reviewers have already posted. Also Linda went a bit far claiming the FBI pulled her off the street to count her toes to check she wasn't half alien. It became laughable at that point. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Dan R Netflix's 'The Manhattan Alien Abduction' is a very confused documentary that never really feels like it knows what it wants to be. SYNOPSIS: 'A woman claims to have been abducted from her bedroom in Manhattan. This docuseries explores whether it was an elaborate hoax - or proof of alien life.' Is this an alien abduction story or more a story of a personal dispute over who was telling the truth or not? I don't know and I don't think its creators know either. It's a bit of a mess, which is unusual for Netflix, but the stories are entertaining however farfetched they might actually be. Disappointing. 4/10 Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Phillip A Took so long to tell the story but missed so much detail of this story. The lady claimed to have been kidnapped by the pope in the pope mobile and then asked to be the Vaticans representative to aliens. That is just one of the details that are not even mentioned. There are so many more details which considering they were given 3 hours they didn't even mention. I think had many of the other details been brought up it would have been a better story. Otherwise it comes across as balanced and have the filmmakers almost saying "you make the call". Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review J B It drip feeds crumbs of what could be an interesting story over the span of three hours when if you took out the filler rubbish you’d have about 2 -3 minutes of entertainment. Interesting ideas are floated without ever going into depth and quickly abandoned. They say there were 23 witnesses to this abduction and yet you’re telling me they didn’t try to speak to a single one of them to corroborate this story? They also didn’t get detailed physical descriptions of the so called aliens from the people who were claiming to have seen them multiple times in their home. It’s quite frankly infuriating Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Kathy W A smear job on one of the most important alien abduction researchers we had in the field, by a bitter and jealous ex-wife, when the man is no longer alive to defend himself or his work. The abductee has never wavered in what turned out to be one of the most famous abduction scenarios of all time. The fact that some witnesses refused to go on the record and that the government agents could never be found is, in fact, NOT evidence of falsehood, but rather typical in abduction stories. What Netflix and the ex-wife are trying to accomplish with this hatchet job is beyond me. A great disservice to the field. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review George L This really seemed like the whole documentary was phony. Who was shooting all this? What about this blackout? Is that documented. Did this stuff happen at all? By the way, there was one phrase the son used that the mother used that seemed a candidate for coaching. The thing he said about his mother standing there while he was being taken, does she live me. That’s what you would be thinking while you’re terrified? Then she said the same thing in her interview.
