Looking forward to this even though it means I need to pay for a new streaming service.

Yep, it’s on my radar too. It’s going to be interesting.

Watched the first episode last night but didn't have time to watch episode 2 yet. Felt a little busy in the first episode, suppose that's normal for the first episode when you need to introduce so many characters and set up the plot, but I admit the show didn't hook me as much as I thought it might though I can see it getting interesting.

The very beginning felt a lot like the first movie, which was great fan service I suppose. Nice visuals, though, and some clever camera work. I think I will enjoy this show.

I'm well and truly enjoying this, despite not having the highest of hopes for it. There's already a few people I desperately want to see face-hugged or chest-bursted, but the brother and sister dynamic is the draw and it's interesting enough already that I'm already on their side.

I love the "kids" and I know that role must have been an absolute blast for the actors involved.

I'm way ahead of myself here, but I'm already thinking how this could possibly lead into the original movie. If it does so at all because at the moment, this could be an incident that's kept off any records...because, well, the issue is in the show's title.

There'd be no Alien series if the first movie had the two weapons in Episode 2.

Well, Episode 5 was quite something! Really digging this series so far. 👍

I feel like we're watching different shows. The writing/acting is all over the shop (from bad to worse). The situations are incredibly unrealistic, and often poorly explained. So much of it doesn't make sense. There's a level of "cheese" that I can't get past. I just can't.

Honestly the first 10 minutes of the first episode was the only bright spot. Then it felt like a different director took over and it became another cheesy Hollywood style one-liner filled schlock-fest. To each their own, of course. If you like it, more power to ya.

That being said. If you liked Romulus, you'll probably like Alien: Earth. If you didn't (I did NOT) you should steer clear of this series.
