In Space, No One...

This series has excellent production values. The art department has replicated the signature "Alien" look to a "T". The Xenomorph looks amazing when it is either the guy in a suit or cgi. Top-notch effects! Episode five feels like it belongs in the canon of Alien. The sets, costumes, lighting and creatures successfully transport the viewer into a Ridley-esque claustrophobic space-ship full of doomed mission-specialists fleeing in terror from the menacing, Xenomorph. Just what we want and expect from the Alien franchise. Amazing work, providing motion-picture quality on a television-series budget. I don't know how they did it, but it really works well. The sets remind us of the Nostromo and other ships from previous Alien films while bringing their own style to the mix. Any Alien fan would enjoy this episode. It almost feels like the series should have started with Ep.5.

Finally, a superb episode in Alien: Earth! We finally get to see what happened before the first episode, and honestly, this is the best installment of the new show so far.

Two things make it stand out: first, the events take place aboard a spaceship, and second, the episode is packed with non-stop references to earlier films in the franchise. There's a nod to almost every Alien movie, plus all the bizarre new creatures the show has introduced.

It's a formula similar to what Alien: Romulus (2024) used - and while some critics dismiss that as "picking the best parts from previous films and gluing them together," those proven elements undeniably hit home for fans. They certainly did for me.

Notably, while Romulus leaned more into Aliens (1986), this episode draws heavily from the original 1979 classic. For fans of the Alien saga, this episode is pure gold - it brings space back to space horror.

In an era of rehashing, redundant and repeatedly rebooting franchises this series has a new and refreshing feel reminiscent of the last predator film Prey. With relevant and current themes around tech and AI I really enjoyed the first few episodes as the characters are interesting and well cast.

The visuals and dialogue have been great and always on the edge of my seat on each episode and wanting the next one to come quicker to see where we are going next.

Franchise fan or new comer will enjoy and I look forward to seeing this become a series for many years to come with the richness of characters that could lead to intriguing sub plot stories.

Retro futurism at its finest. Catode monitors, Mechanical controls everywhere. That late 70- early 80 vibe from every character pull trough verry well. Great addition to the Alien Universe of T. Ocellus. Also great pacing, firmly in touch with the Ridley Scott's Alien.

PS Kind of a miracle the crew survived 65 years in deep space, plus collecting specimens, with so gross incompetence and negligence.

Exhilarating! THIS is how to do an Alien show.

I'm still digesting but the best way to describe would be a super intense dose of 'Alien' injected directly into your veins.

This episode is a beautiful nod to the first movie. It works well to connect the story line but as can work as a stand alone episode.

Even managed to create the new creatures that are just as creepy as are of the other creatures. It'll definitely give people with eyeball sensitivities the heebee jeebees.
