B-

Picking up immediately after Black Sabbath’s “The Mob Rules” ends, the second episode, “Mr. October,” gives viewers what they expected from a show called Alien: Earth.

4/5

This chapter doesn’t tell its own story or introduce anything excitingly new. That said, those action-horror scenes are pleasurably icky.

While the series premiere of Alien: Earth was a bit boring, Alien: Earth Season 1 Episode 2 “Mr. October” was absolutely terrifying and elevated the franchise in a way I didn’t even know was possible.

9/10

It’s good to see Alien: Earth come out swinging with a two-episode drop that features all the iconic creepiness we’ve come to expect from the franchise, paired with the promise of something new.

9.5/10

Alien: Earth is off to a terrific start with a lot of interesting characters, xenomorph action, and more. Episode 1 and Episode 2 are setting audiences up for a gory good time.

8.5/10

Mr. October doubles down on Alien Earth being the bloodiest version of the Alien franchise yet. And we haven’t even gotten a chest bursting scene yet.
