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.

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.

5/5

If there are stumbles, they’re the kind you forgive instantly. A flourish here or there might feel indulgent, a surreal image might make you raise an eyebrow, but that’s the joy of it: this show isn’t afraid to go too far.

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Surprised there weren't more comments about how this is clearly, very blatant commentary on the danger of billionaires acquiring everything until the ultimate downfall of human civilization...and even more specifically, commentary on Elon Musk. Great watch. Hope there's a season 2.

This show is nothing more than a comedy of errors.

The acting was stellar across the board... and the cinematography + soundtrack were a delight.

One of the best new shows of the past several years! Alien: Earth has everything! - Freakishly awesome creatures. - Questions of what is human vs machine. - Corporations as government. - Can one species “own” another species - A boy genius. - A+ special effects. - Great acting. - Plenty of violence and gore! - And plenty more. Timothy Olyphant is excellent as the synth “Kirsch” and the actor who plays “Morrow” the cyborg is a revelation! Strong performances all around. Noah Haley’s vision of the Alien universe is something I definitely want to keep seeing! I can’t wait for Season 2!

"OMG, What Happened!?" -=- "Science. Science Happened." A real life functioning Adult wrote this Dialogue & put it in a Multi-million Dollar TV Show in 2025, folks. ALIEN: EARTH (Aka ALIEN: DIRT) has exceptionally & demonstrably Bad Writing, Poor Plot Development ~&~ Laughable Dialogue......just overall a sheer Disappointment for Died-in-the-Wool ALIEN/ALIENS Fans.

It’s good, but I don’t understand why the beginning of every episode has to look like a DVD menu
