    I think the best part of this show is that it wasn't just some cgi money grab, and was actually put together so well, great mix of visual effects and cgi, its almost the original movie's just modernized in a great way

    The thing I like the most about the series (and it's been very good so far) is that they close every episode with incredible, legendary rock songs. Didn't knew about Mob Rules what instantly recognized the others

    The connections to Peter Pan are the grossest points about this show. Not only the usual using properties for which they don't have to pay, but also including clips from the classic animated feaure film disgusting (former Disney Studios employee, including Animation)

    Honestly as an Alien fan. This series sucks. Research spaceship team with no safety protocols, rescue unit crews with no hazmat suits but oh wait we need to carry guns, and you send a bunch of kids with no training to help?!? Hollywood writing sucks.

    The show is neat and promising, but since it's a prequel to the franchise, it has problems of coherence, as in the whole 3 first movies, it is implied that xenomorphs are unnknowned to humans, and except Burke in the second movie, and Bishop in the 3rd, everybody else is trying to prevent them from reaching earth… It's all contradictory…🤨

    10 things I missed in Alien Earth so far (in no particular order):
    1) Suspense
    2) Horror
    3) Sci-fi
    4) Characters
    5) Plot
    6) Mature
    7) Hero
    8) Inspired
    9) Serious
    10) Original

    I watched four episodes and I honestly feel they have no idea what the original was about. They literally copied some scenes, visuals, etc, and these feel like a nod to the fans but hardly engaging.
    Many of Alien's sequels have their flaws, but this… Sorry I just don't see it.
    Disney, why o why did you have to do this?

    I don't know if anyone has said this yet but there is an obvious connection to Heart of Darkness. Not just with Kirsh but you can also see the similarities in the traversing through the crashed spaceship
