“The ‘Alien: Earth’ season 1 finale, ‘The Real Monsters,’ is a violent disruption in the franchise canon.”
“Under Hawley’s watchful eye, the episodic progression from “The Fly” to “Emergence” 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 O’ Bannon’s 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 doesn’t leave the same corrosive mark in the human psyche that it once did.”
“‘Ransom Canyon’ season 1 would’ve been much more entertaining with a stronger focus on Staten and Quinn’s perspectives/wants/needs, and how their values influence the people around them and the overall community culture.”
