Earth are in, and critics are praising the series as one of the franchise’s best entries. Created by Noah Hawley, Alien: Earth has a massive ensemble cast led by Sydney Chandler, Essie Davis, and Timothy Olyphant.

This project has been in the oven for several years, and the final result feels anything but rushed or weightless because Hawley and his collaborators had a grip on the TV format and the story they wanted to tell.

The Alien films' Xenomorphs are, in my mind, the greatest movie monsters ever created. It's shocking, then, that they're the least interesting part of FX's Alien: Earth. That isn't to say that the Xenomorphs in Alien: Earth are bores.
