Like Ridley Scott’s Alien, Hawley’s new series takes its time building up terror and suspense. In true reverence to its predecessor, Alien: Earth crafts a dark, chilling atmosphere as it turns the Maginot into another haunted house in space. This is a sharp contrast to the bright, lush “paradise” of Neverland.

From invasive eyes to a redesigned xenomorph, director Noah Hawley breaks down how the grotesque creatures of Alien: Earth were made.

In space, no one can hear you scream, but they can sure hear you scratching your head as you try to make sense of the sprawling “Alien” universe.

Earth” ends with a five-star, no-notes needle drop (or choice of a pre-existing song). A tone of dread has been set throughout the episode, in which we learn that corporations, technology, and military rule in this future world.

Alien: Earth might have already done something that the folk at Lumon Industries in Severance have been building towards.

Earth doesn’t settle for unleashing the franchise’s signature acid-blooded terror on a new stage. It drags an entire menagerie of extraterrestrial nightmares down to our planet.
