From the colour grading, to the engaging intros and cliffhangers, to the original OST by Thylacine, OVNI(s) has been my most-enjoyed show of the year.
It blends genres of humour, espionage, with that rare-but-powerful feeling of gently touching the true mystery of unknown things. It all unfolds in its own time, so that each reveal and development feels natural.
I was so pleasantly surprised that it avoided falling into many cliched tropes. Throughout, it felt like its own original thing, without ever feeling like it was losing steam or its character. I also enjoyed how the relationships developed between the characters, though it did get a bit painful at times to watch them struggle to navigate their feelings.
