“The ‘Alien: Earth’ season 1 finale, ‘The Real Monsters,’ is a violent disruption in the franchise canon.”
“The ‘Alien: Earth’ season 1 finale, ‘The Real Monsters,’ is a violent disruption in the franchise canon.”
“Under Hawleyโs watchful eye, the episodic progression from โThe Fly” to โEmergenceโ is the most seamless transition of ‘Alien: Earth’ season 1.”
“It appears that Hawley mapped ‘Alien: Earth’ methodically, though the FX on Hulu series often feels worlds apart from writer Dan Oโ Bannonโs original source material.”
“‘Alien: Earth’ could become the unofficial Alien Apocrypha. The 46-year-old franchise might have some acidic bite left in it, but it doesnโt leave the same corrosive mark in the human psyche that it once did.”
“‘Ransom Canyon’ season 1 wouldโve been much more entertaining with a stronger focus on Staten and Quinnโs perspectives/wants/needs, and how their values influence the people around them and the overall community culture.”
“One of first signs of trouble in Monsieur Spade’s first episode is the overall lack of antagonists – the slow burn feels ill-suited for the title character and the genre at large.”
“The Danish emperor of cool has lost his clothes.”
