In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. Cyborgs and synthetics exist alongside humans, but the game is changed when the Prodigy Corporation unlocks hybrids. The first hybrid prototype named Wendy marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms, which are more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.

Critics Consensus

Stylistically bold and scary as hell, Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth transplants the Xenomorph mythos into the television medium with its cinematic grandeur intact while staking out a unique identity of its own.

Both Andor and Alien: Earth massively expand the scope of their source material not by introducing radical new ideas but by revisiting the old, core ones with a new clarity and force.

The series’ first season was too committed to childish things to allow the franchise to grow up.

As this new show hurtled by, I felt the visceral excitement of its creator, the explosion of his ideas, his genuine love for the material.

8/10

Alien: Earth will jolt you out of your smooth-brain summer-TV watching (looking at you, Hunting Wives) — and trust me, it’s not for the faint of heart.

The first season of Alien: Earth is the best of the franchise since Aliens back in 1986.

While the thought of introducing new beasties may be tantamount to sacrilege for some fans, it does add a welcome air of uncertainty as to just how these creatures will attack and what orifices they will emerge from.

Nie wiem jak ktoś , kto ma nawet blade pojęcie o uniwersum Obcego może zachwycać się serialem tak beznadziejnym jak Obcy:Ziemia. Tam brakuje tylko Kaczora Donalda i Donalda Trumpa w obsadzie. (Spoiler) A robienie z ksenomorfa tresowanego pieska to już był szczyt absurdu. Najbardziej inteligentny miliarder łazi w pidżamie i zachowuje się jak Harry i Lloyd razem wzięci. Ksenomorf w jednej scenie rozwala w 10 sekund cały pokój ludzi lub komandosów a w kolejnej czai się na dwójkę androidów i nie daje rady. Tragedia. IQ krytyków, którzy dali 4 lub 5 gwiazdek nie jest większe od ich wieku.

8.2/10. Season one was really good. The introduction to all the new species of creatures makes things really fun. Some moments were weird and silly, and it’s hard to peg who the bad guy is. Really entertaining though and the story is pretty easy to follow. Hopefully a season 2 can solve a lot of the left over problems.

Horrendous show with a plot that relies on all characters having sub room temperature IQ.

Imagine a 12 year old watching the first Alien movie on his smartphone with 2x playback speed during the school. He thinks it was cool. So he gets home to his Action Figures to continue this cool stuff. His dad, a big shot in a movie studio, saw him playing and thought "You know what, this kid has his birthday soon. Wouldnt it be a cool gift to re-enact his "cool stuff" with real actors? 1 year later and tadaaa, here we are.

Television entertainment that certainly reignites the interest of fans of the saga. With a strong cast, an intriguing storyline, effective suspense, and the kind of alien horror we love to see, the series makes you devour episodes one after another, leaving you wanting more and more... now, it remains to be seen if they can maintain that same pace in the second season of *Alien: Earth*.
