Beam me up when it's all over...
11 November 2024
After two years of whining and begging by my children, I finally subscribed to Netflix. Of course, it's quite clear that dad watches a lot more than the kids. Also, now that I have a wide and versatile catalogue on the screen in front of me, it's perhaps the right time to step out of my comfort zone and watch something I normally never would. Like a true crime documentary about alien abduction, for instance!

Big mistake. I have never been so bored in my life. "The Manhattan Alien Abduction" revolves around story of New York housewife Linda Napolitano who, in 1989, got lifted out of her bed, and floated over nightly Manhattan for a while, before brought aboard an extraterrestrial spaceship. Believers claim Linda's ordeal is the ultimate proof that alien life exists, because allegedly 23 different people witnessed how she floated over Manhattan.

If you are open for the possibility that extraterrestrial life exists, and that the aliens desire to examine the earthlings via random abductions and probes, well then "The Manhattan Alien Abduction" will strengthen your beliefs. If you are a skeptical person and assume the only rational explanation for what happened is that Mrs. Napolitano suffered from psychosis, then "MAA" also does nothing to make you doubt. Worst of all, it's unimaginably boring. I fell asleep three times and wasn't even tired.
