Much like the Xenomorph's life cycle, the "Alien" franchise continues to burgeon with the latest instalment, "Alien: Earth," which takes events to 2120 – two years before Ellen Ripley and the doomed crew of the Nostromo appeared in Ridley Scott's 1979 classic film.
Spoilers ahead! Created by Noah Hawley of "Legion" and "Fargo" fame, the show pushes the limits of horror and science fiction. Yet, it's the latter that proves to be the most intriguing in the series, as it showcases a version of Earth taken over by five major corporations: Lynch, Weyland-Yutani, Dynamic, Threshold, and Prodigy. The one which "Alien: Earth" dedicates the most time to is Prodigy, which is headed by Boy Kavalier (Samuel Blenkin), a young trillionaire and maverick genius who's equally allergic to wearing shoes and the consequences of his actions.
