Hearing we were getting a TV show set in the “Alien” franchise had me a little worried at first. As a superfan, I’ve always found the iconic sci-fi horror movies incredibly effective, especially in how much terror they pack into just 90 minutes of claustrophobic space. So, the idea of stretching that into eight hours of content definitely gave me some concerns.
But now, having seen the first six episodes, I can confidently say I’m genuinely blown away. I’ll admit some of my opinion might be a little biased, but I tried to distance my love for the franchise and be critical of “Alien: Earth” fairly. Even then, it still blew me away.
