Spoilers below for the Season 1 finale of Alien: Earth, so be warned if you haven’t yet streamed it via Hulu subscription or Disney+ subscription.
After eight dense episodes exploring the foibles of humanity in the face of superlative technology and extraterrestrial beings, Alien: Earth is now in TV limbo, awaiting to learn its fate from FX execs. The franchise’s first small-screen entry has been a rousing success by and large, with earning praise from Sigourney Weaver, Stephen King and plenty of other genre hounds. Some viewers, however, have been more eager to complain that the show puts more emphasis on the “Earth” than the “Alien.”
