Was truly hoping for something better given the decent number of positive reviews. But this was one-note through and through. No real tension, once you realize the generic script was going to stay that way. The 'twist' was as predictable as they come. Acting generic. Though Andy had his moments. The throwbacks to previous films were eye rolling and the rehash of the famous Aliens line was the most cringe of all. Even some of the sets looked cheap. I particularly remember a couple scenes that looked like they were hanging up those circular metallic bendable dryer vents. Everything was super dark, probably to hide what was probably terrible quality alien slime/hard mucus lining the walls. The face huggers particularly at the beginning looked very cheaply done. Stiff and jittery.

Big letdown.

I used to love Melissa McCarthy. But she's devolved into hack material without seeming to notice. The show is truly terrible. I had no idea I was watching the season finale. No real tension. No comedy. Just one rambling disaster of a scene after another. This is close to the worst series I've ever watched to completion on Netflix. Spare us and stop with 1 season.

The acting was the best thing about this. Plot overall too trite and by-the-notes to ever feel like there was anything actually at stake. Very disappointed. Still giving 6 stars because I realize I wasn't the intended audience. This show isn't meant for serious lovers of science fiction and space fiction.
