Alien: Earth Ratings & Reviews
- Sin GameforceSeptember 20, 2025This show is written by morons
- dragonfl93January 7, 2026Some of the best sci fi TV ive watched since Black Mirror S1 or Stranger Things S1. The most fun I've had watching a sci show in a minute, this was fabulous.
- brian.h718January 5, 2026Laughably dumb at points, but there are some fun ideas and good scenes.
- DiggerEODAugust 19, 2025This show is better than the last three Alien movies combined!
- Combat_Sports BuffDecember 29, 2025solid show
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ RσყҽƚƚAugust 13, 2025*Alien: Earth* delivers a fresh and exciting boost to the *Alien* franchise, blending classic horror with modern ideas-from artificial intelligence and identity to corporate tyranny-within an intense visual narrative. With strong performances, cinematic flair, and philosophical dialogue, this series emerges as a thrilling television debut that's well worth watching for fans of both science fiction and horror.
- JafferAugust 22, 2025Something's... off about this tv show. I don't know if its the pacing, or presentation. It doesn't feel... right.
- sebazyDecember 26, 2025I went into this assuming it would follow on from Romulus, I was wrong (kind of) but Earth is similar in many ways, both good and bad. First off the good: The overall setting and concept is peak and the opening is delivered brilliantly, it feels like an Alien *film*. No corners cut (at least at first), the sets, creatures and overall aesthetic is superb. There's a few spots later where it looks a bit like a UE5 greenscreen but those visual dips are thankfully infrequent. Then the mixed: Specifically the casting... I'll be blunt, it feels like a box ticking exercise and it doesn't even attempt to hide it. Outside of a few locked in roles there's just no consistency whatsoever. It's a shame that it's so glaring as there are some excellent performances in here. Morrow and Kirsh were the standouts for me. Brilliant job from both of them IMO. Finally, the bad: I think it's fair to say that the writing is the weakest link in the series. It starts out well with a strong concept to build from, but dwindles and flounders with increased frequency as the episodes roll by. It's frustrating that the finale felt rushed and cut short after how steady things were leading up to that. But the thing that stood out to me the most was perhaps the most modern of trends, writers that assume that the watcher is either a) stupid or b) can't pay attention for more than a minute. Every time a character came out with something open ended, you could be sure the next scene cut would shove the answer firmly in your face within seconds just to be absolutely clear you knew what they were talking about. Meanwhile there were times where characters would do inexplicably stupid or out of character things. Stuff would be completely overlooked despite being exposed on not 5 minutes prior. Even the writers themselves were guilty of this. The saboteur was probably the most egregious example of this. What an absolute wasted opportunity that was. However, as negative as that sounds, overall I enjoyed it. There were certainly a few moments where its faults had me cringing, but the highs were good enough to have me putting up with the lows. Like Romulus, it started out well, had some cringe bits in the middle, got a bit of a kick into shape at the halfway mark before inexplicably tripping over itself at the finish line. Consider me nervously optimistic for season 2. It's either going to be great or awful.
- theicephoenixAugust 29, 2025Well folks, let me tell ya somethin’. I just watched this here Alien: Earth show and dang if it ain’t the best thing since duct tape and a cold beer on a hot day. They got critters crawlin’ outta places you don’t wanna know about, corporations bein’ greedier than your uncle at the buffet, and more tension than a family reunion with free liquor. The thing looks sharp too. Like Hollywood spent every penny makin’ sure I’d never sleep with the lights off again. And the actors? They don’t just act, they sell it. I believe every scream, every shadow, every poor sap who don’t make it past episode one. If you like your sci-fi with a side of terror and a big ol’ plate of “humans are the real problem,” this is your meal ticket. Five stars. Earth, watch this dang show.
- AlexDecember 19, 2025One of my favourite series of 2025. Would be five full stars, but I felt the conclusion petered out a little bit. That said it's not a bad thing to be left wanting more and I'm looking forward to series 2.
- madz26November 21, 2025It looks and feels like R. Scott's IP but misses the charm. Where are the good guys? The lead characters lack any sense of morals and likability. Weak men and childishly selfish girls. The female synth Wendy is a narcissist construct lacking any good qualities with a limp brother (the only character with protentional). Overall bad production direction with no solid message to the viewers. I'm rooting for the aliens to destroy humanity.
- jody.b5August 16, 2025Ok. Let me weigh in. First of all to the naysayers of this series, I would say you are wrong. Without a shadow of a doubt. The storyline remains true to the original movies. It isn’t watered down. Yes, we are dealing with android youths that are new , but I must admit that they are formidable. The writing is impeccable and the CGI is beyond acceptable. I am 60 years old and I have watched all of the alien movies. I am thoroughly enjoying this series.
- AustinNovember 19, 2025Its a faithful 8 hour alien movie what more can you ask for.
- GreggSrNovember 16, 2025The series is surprisingly well executed. The immature tone of some of the acting can be distracting at times, but the performances from Timothy Olyphant and Babou Ceesay stand out as strong and engaging. The production team also delivered impressive work on the extraterrestrial creatures and visual effects, which elevate the overall experience.
- ርልዪረSeptember 10, 2025Alien Earth is quite literally bringing the franchise home. Having been personally disaapointed with some of the latter movies I kept my expectations low for this but it has far surpassed what I thought it was going to be. It has taken the blueprint of the originals and expanded into its own - so many new original concepts to feast on, no cheesy lip service..a true love letter. The set designs are outstanding (Maginot we see you!) And the character acting is brilliant - I'm invested in how they progress with the hands that they are dealt. I've read alot of reviews saying the story lines are falling flat- completely disagree, I find the story intelligent with emotional depth- the themes not of only an Alien threat but politics of earth, humanity and philosophy without prattling on.I find the show truly fascinating which is what hooked me to the first two movies. They have successfully expanded the universe into a TV show so this allows for much more story telling and world building - and not a minute has been wasted on filler - the show successfully builds on tense expectation, action and visual effects which I appreciate.I'm so excited to see where this goes and would urge any fan to give it a watch if you aren't already!
- shirazesatNovember 14, 2025Boring and predictable. Lots of interesting sci-fi, if that's your thing, but clearly not thought out fully. I managed to watch an episode and a half before being annoyed at clichés and 2d characters.
- Luke EricksonOctober 30, 2025I really like all things aliens so I'm a little impartial but the whole series was awesome. They even have great 90s rock for the credits, so stick around and enjoy the music and appreciate the folks that helped tell this story.
- pipboy4000September 6, 2025Who is the target audience of this show? It adult horror content but most of the main characters are basically kids. It’s not interesting for an adult to follow that.
- nikitakumar101October 27, 2025quite aggravating and boring to be honest
- CubaneOctober 26, 2025A compelling premise and promising start utterly squandered by lazy horror writing and a script phoned in from an international dial-up connection. Never mind the typical slasher movie trope of adults that simply act like children, the main characters of this show are literally adult children. The original Alien movies were great because the cast was competent and faced a grim adversary worthy of respect... Somewhere along the way it seems they figured viewers would rather just see horrific monstrisities vivisect a cast of hapless cretins instead.
