UFO Cowboys

A person can NOT not know this is fake af from the trailer. That doesn't mean it can't be entertaining but like others I'm kinda annoyed it's listed as "reality". Even though we all know "reality" ain't reality...when you have someone in a "reality" show completely surprised by X person showing up at their door WHEN THEY ARE BEING FILMED BY 5 PEOPLE it's not "reality". That said their are now differing levels of reality whereas on my scale anyway at the very bottom are the bad ghost hunter shows. Yet even those aren't just blatent blatent fake. It's hard to describe but ya'll know what I'm gettin at.

It's a case of semantics, why they couldn't have called it something else or just plain leave out the classification I don't know but judging by the reviews they've just hurt themselves instead of being crafty.. People don't appreciate it, I don't appreciate it and I'll be damned if I know why but it's annoying.

All that said again, I got something out of it by learning of the creators other project "Mountain Monsters" through this show, I'd never heard of it and it's hilarious.

Long story short the cast IMO just doesn't work like Mountain Monsters and one thing I've learned in 1/2 century CASTING CASTING CASTING. Casting doesn't mean person A is a bad actor Casting means Person A as Person B doesn't work with Person C as Person D and so on. Sometimes you get a cast that jells totally sometimes a little and sometimes it just doesn't work.

This is the latter sadly for me and the other stupid thing of labeling it's a no.

I think people are trying to take this show too seriously and that's why they're disappointed. It's just supposed to be a fun, chaotic, farce to entertain us for a little while.

The Straub brothers, who created this show, also created Mountain Monsters - further proof that this is just meant to be a fun, silly show. (Actually Mountain Monsters was even more ridiculous than UFO Cowboys, if you can believe it! Lots to laugh at! But with a nice crew. And this crew of UFO Cowboys seem to be nice, too.)

Just relax and enjoy laughing at it. Makes a nice break from the news and all the other doom and gloom pervading our world.

Watching this video I feel like either I need to lose intelligence to understand what they are doing, because every time they say we should not be out here at night, then the next scene is the next night, and of course they are out there by night. Is it because viewers will have an atavistic fear of what they can't see? Well they certainly dramatize the hell out of that with video that flashes from one scene to another, with lights flashing, and low frequency and high frequency sound effects worked into the sound track. Of course they are also doing that in the day time shoots, with limited camera angles and cuts from one chase scene to the next to get adrenaline worked up. If they were trying like heck to dramatizing nonsense so no-one could make heads or tails of what is happening then they achieved that, "With Bells On". They should be embarrassed.

Where do I start? The shown has Hollywood filming and vibes thoughout. It seems highly scripted and seriously lacks credibility in an already questionable genre. These so called trackers and experts can't seem to make a single logical conclusion and immediately jump to the "aliens" narrative. This program is bad, even by reality tv standards. It's really sad to see that range riders can't distinguish the sound of a pig from something "alien." How can you be an expert in something you've never seen nor have a shred of proof that it's real. It's just a bunch of guys in cowboy hats getting scared by their own shadow. This might be the worst "alien" show yet.

UFO Cowboys presents itself as an unscripted reality style show that takes place somewhere in the American west. However, it doesn't take long for you to realize you've been hornswaggled. The show follows a group of "cowboys" who call themselves the UFO Skywatchers, area ranchers (and maybe farmers too) who work together to observe and investigate the many reported strange occurrences that happen in this mysterious part of the country. While it doesn't take long to realize someone's pullin' your leg, you have to admit UFO Cowboys provides some entertaining, silly, corny fun. There's mystery, suspense, and B-movie acting, and the production values are pretty darn good for a show you stumble across for free on the Roku channel. My recommendation is to set back, put your boots up on the coffee table, dial down your critical thinking to about 52 percent, and enjoy a little escapist adventure with these good ol' boys.
