The first two episodes are outstanding, and I'm completely hooked. It's 100% the Alien you know and love, but very much it's own thing too... Hawley clearly has a strong vision for how to expand the world as is needed for this to work as a TV series; adding real narrative depth, interesting characters, and excellent world building, yet all the while keeping it intimate, claustrophobic, delightfully gory, and creepy AF. Production design and cinematography are excellent, and surprisingly the sound design is absolutely top notch too... Something that a lot of TV fails to get right. All in all this is the easiest 5 star I've given a TV show in a long time.
First Episode was a bit slow.
Second Episode already had some payoff.
YES, there is a lot where you could say "carbon copy", but the same was true for the From Dusk till Dawn Show and I loved that.
Also nice that the show while maintaining a relatively diverse cast it doesn't cater to any political spectrum so far (except maybe being a bit critic of capitalism, but alien always was that).
Best show of 2025 unreal!
Refreshingly different but still Aliens.
Loving the pace of the show and ideas.
For me this is perfect so far, but let's see how the series plays out.
It's hard to continue watching with all that bad acting...
5 stars of 10
I don't know what happened in Ridley Scott's head, but maybe he wanted to do a ghost in the shell show without paying for the license.
However, it's a primary ghost in the shell Kindergarden, with an alien sidekick.
the alien has multiple scerose which why it suddenly lacks of strength. it can't even beat the shit out of a android anymore. In all the movies the alien smoked the artificial humanoids but now it's weak. Also the story is slow, too slow.
the plot so far is disappointing and episodes were boring and often not logical. the alien once was clever, now it's stupid. Wendy alone could work. but the other kids should have died. they are just annoying.
the production itself is triple a. but that alone won't save the day
alien earth is an epic fail, especially for alien fans.
Show is lame. Boring and doesn't have the sense of danger. the deaths are more camp than horror at this point
Jesus that was a waste of time, VERY slow paced and a terrible choice of cast. Disney is plastered all over this. The trailer really gave me high hopes for this but incredibly tame and watered down.
Watching the first episode I honestly thought put on the wrong show ,what a load of crap , second wasn't to bad will give it a go see if it gets any better
The sets are very well done and consistent with the movies, and the dialog and acting isn't terrible, but somehow they managed to make the show boring and entirely uninteresting. There's no character backstory or development, and there's no driving story. The "thrilling" scenes are all completely forgettable, there's no suspense ever.
