3/5
Nearly everything that worked well in the first half of season one has remained strong in the second half. Go to Full Review Matt Schimkowitz AV Club Sep 24, 2025

It’s a world where simply knowing you have shelter is worth hunting a Xenomorph. Alien has never looked so contemporary. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Oct 2, 2025
9.5/10
The aliens might be murderous and extremely dangerous, but the real monsters are those who think they’re in control. By the end of what clearly has to just be the first season, all of them have a serious price to pay. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Sep 25, 2025

10/10
The best episode of the season gives us great Xenomorph action, an excellent performance from Sydney Chandler, and all the philosophy we'd expect from the Alien franchise. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
