Keith G. @keggator75 Apr 24 Great show didn’t disappoint would highly recommend it See more Brett M @Brett42 Apr 20 This installment of the Alien Franchise did not disappoint. The premise of the show is great! A Wayland-Yutani deep space exploration vessel carrying multiple alien species crash-lands on Earth. The first 2 episodes involve soldiers searching the crashed ship. They are classic Alien. I felt like I was watching 2 minimovies. Excellent! Episode 5 is my favorite. It shows the fate of the crew and gives more details on the new alien species. This episode is right out of the original movie including a retro-futuristic ship. The new alien species especially the octo-eye are creepy. However, there are a few inconsistencies with the show. One is the androids with the consciousness of a kids uploaded. For a horror franchise that does not typically incorporate kids, this seems off. They do add some humor, but it feels misplaced in a serious show. Another is the alien's indestructibility. Highly trained soldiers can't take down 1 alien? Odd. Overall, the show is well done and enjoyable. See more Jeremy H @RT69242688 Apr 15 I'll start by pointing out that the cinematography, set design, costumes, and effects are stunning. That said, the show is a slog. I gave it three episodes to establish itself and draw me in, but as a property in the Alien franchise the world is already largely established by a bunch of good, medium, and bad films. By the end of the third episode, no characters have been developed enough for me to care that they're about to get Alien'd. Wendy seems to be the protagonist, but the only personality traits she seems to have are "child" and "used to be dying." I acknowledge that the rest of the series could pick it up, but after three hours of checking to see how much time was left in the episode, I'm comfortable cutting my losses.

Can't wait for the next season too many possibilities with so many aliens. See more Maurice S @Tungdor77 Mar 24 I could barely make it through the first three episodes of Alien: Earth. Yes, the visual effects are strong, and there are moments that genuinely deliver on tension and atmosphere. But beyond that, the show quickly becomes a slog. It leans far too heavily on drawn-out dialogue, forced drama, and a consistently heavy tone that drains the energy instead of building suspense. What’s most frustrating is the pacing. Scenes feel stretched well beyond what they need to be, as if the series is deliberately filling time rather than driving the story forward. Instead of a tight, gripping science fiction horror experience, it ends up feeling slow and unfocused and just plain boring. See more Smyles A. @Smyles Mar 24 Amazing. I've been watching alien films my entire life. My favorite genre is sci fi. This show dives into a different side of things and I'm here for it 😜 See more Read all reviews
