One fan compared the show to the original Alien movie and called it a must-watch for fans of the franchise.
OK. So #AlienEarth is fucking amazing. The pacing is a bit slow in the first episode, but other than that, it’s great. It feels like I’m watching the original Alien again, but with the violence of the sequels added in. This is a must watch if you like the Alien franchise at all.

Another one called it incredible and a perfect blend between Alien & Aliens.

But another viewer wasn’t much impressed after watching the first episode and thinks it’s too early to decide.
1 ep in. Not impressed. The music supervisor should have been fired. Some of the direction choices 👎🏾#AlienEarth too early to decide.

Alien: Earth – Story & Cast
The sci-fi horror series takes place in a world where cyborgs (humans with biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (artificially intelligent humanoid robots) live with humans on Earth. When a mysterious deep-space research vessel crash-lands on the planet, Wendy (played by Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag team of soldiers learn about the greatest threat to Earth.
It is revealed that Wendy is no ordinary woman; she is a hybrid, a first-of-its-kind humanoid robot with human consciousness. Alien: Earth also features Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, and Indian actor Adarsh Gourav, among other cast members.
