Tricia L @Lowe45667 9h I'm actually happy they're taking the slow-burn approach instead of just throwing xenomorphs at us every five minutes. See more Lucia E @RT5689042217 Jul 16 The acting was stellar across the board... and the cinematography + soundtrack were a delight. See more Ollie A @RT56903175 Jul 16 The atmosphere is exactly what I wanted from Alien. Slow, unsettling, and constantly making you feel that something horrible is about to happen. See more Richard W @RT59273098 Jul 12 I struggled to even give this two stars, which I did purely for many of the performances. As for the writing, this is yet another example in a too long line of 'Lets have the characters make the absolute stupidest possible decision they could ever make in any given situation.' It is maddening how many times this happens, thereby rendering this show impossible to continue to watch. See more Dan B @RT68017002 Jul 8 It shows how out of touch porfessional critics are that this crap is on 94% when every normal viewer is crapping all over it. It's is by far the worst thing in the Alien franchise so far, even AVP2 is better than this. It completely craps all over the story as apparently Hadleys Hope wasnt the first encounter with the Aliens, this was, they were on earth all along with annoying synths who make the dumbest decisions you've ever seen. We have our main protagonist who can communicate with the alien via annoying mouth noises making it her little lapdog. We all know originally the aliens primary goal is to create more aliens, not here, it just kills everything, told to do so by annoying mouth girl whos very remorsless for a child in a synth body. She has no issue with killing everbody in her way. I somehow sat through the entire season and by the end, I wanted everyone dead, theres no a single likable character. I certainly wont be watching season 2. See more D S @dyseu Jul 4 I quite liked the first half of the series, despite some misgivings with the lost boys section of the storyline. The latter part of the season, especially the last 2 episodes, was just terribly written. The set up for the lost boys characters was wasted imo, and Wendy's motivations and powerset makes zero sense after a certain point (she was my favorite character at the start, alongside her brother, so that was extra disappointing). The series suffers from the usual issues that plague horror movies and shows: many idiotic but supposedly competent characters, illogical motivations, etc etc, but I can suspend my disbelief. Up to a point. Anyway, the 1st part of the season reminds me of both Alien and Alien: Romulus, while the 2nd part gives off major Alien: Covenant vibes. If you liked Covenant, you'll probably enjoy this. The 1st half of the season would easily get 3.5-4★ from me; the 2nd half would get 1.25★, again mostly due to the last 2 episodes.
