Alien: Earth Season 1 – TL;DR

Alien: Earth drops its first season with a vibe that’s both familiar and fresh, serving up all the classic Xenomorph thrills (and Easter eggs) you crave while shrugging off continuity worries. Noah Hawley leans on stellar production design, jaw-dropping creature work, and a killer soundtrack—seriously, those needle drops make you want a smoke—to deliver a sci-fi ride that feels brand new.

It also channels a bit of Star Wars/Andor prequel energy, with Timothy Olyphant chewing scenery as a Bishop-style synth, Babou Ceesay tackling the human side of cyborg life, and Sydney Chandler nailing it as Wendy, a kid whose mind gets booted into a top-tier synth body. If you dug Fargo and Legion, this season’s dark threads and wild ideas will be right up your alley.
