Alien: Earth crash-lands on FX and Hulu — the first Alien TV series from Noah Hawley, set two years before Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic.

Starring Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adarsh Gourav, and Timothy Olyphant, this series brings the xenomorph terror home.

But is Alien: Earth a bold new evolution for the franchise — or the worst idea since dressing a dog as a xenomorph?

We break down the good, the bad, and the “because the plot said so” moments, diving deep into the show’s visuals, pacing, and questionable science.From deep space to Earth, the Alien legacy continues — but is this one worth surviving?
