Alien: Earth TV Series

SPOILER FREE

I just saw the first two episodes of Alien: Earth. It was… OK. Like all the recent Alien movies, the characters do stupid things. The Xenomorphs look very good and are vicious. Some of the other alien species are silly. I didn’t think I’d like the synthetic people storyline, but it was actually pretty interesting. I like the lead female character. The episodes seem long, and there’s a lot of wasted time showing people walking around looking left, right, up, down and being casual like its Sunday in the park instead of being in a life threatening situation. As for production value, it’s right up there with Alien and Aliens. Gore factor is mid level. I’ll keep watching it to see how the story plays out.

How did you get early access?

I have no idea. I had my DVR (YoutubeTV) set up to record the show and when I checked this morning the first 2 episodes were available for viewing.

I just realised Disney are again doing the USA release the day before the rest of the world. Annoying for fans outside of America who wake up to an internet full of spoilers for MCU shows and now possibly Alien Earth for anyone who is a big fan.

I will likely watch at least the first episode tomorrow.

I just realised why have I have little interest in Alien's the franchise anymore. Apart from the discovery/introduction (Aliens1-2) everything else is flawed because the main character is essentially a bug, bug hunt etc.

It's not even a cool monster or a decent protagonist like the Predator character in said movies, essentially they are killable bugs. If you compare the Predator creature, there's at least the interest of their history, home planet, how they live etc...with Aliens it just bugs....again. I don't think I'll even bother watching it.

I could be wrong...but I doubt it.....
