Review: The Manhattan Alien Abduction
22 December 2025
Netflix's “The Manhattan Alien Abduction” was released in October 2024, a month shy of the 35th anniversary of the alleged abduction of Linda Napolitano from her Manhattan apartment. Unlike the more credulous alien abduction fare available to watch on streaming, the hook of this 3-episode series is that they had a skeptic on board who believed that the abduction was a hoax. That she was skeptical may be a ho-hum descriptor, and I would say that this person wasn't a skeptic in a way that our card-carrying members would understand it - as an approach to life. Rather, they had become skeptical of what had unfolded in their eventual home years before their arrival.
