When acclaimed showrunner Noah Hawley announced his ambitious project Alien Earth for Disney Plus, the sci-fi community collectively held its breath. As a fan who's followed Hawley's work for years, I found myself asking: "Can this possibly live up to the legacy of the Alien franchise?" After watching the first three episodes, including the particularly mind-bending Alien Earth episode 3, I'm ready to share my comprehensive Alien Earth review.
This series represents a bold reimagining of the Alien timeline, transporting viewers to a future where humanity has established colonies on distant worlds. The Alien Earth aliens we encounter are unlike anything we've seen before in the franchise—truly alien in both biology and consciousness. As I analyzed the complex narrative, I found myself using our word counter online to keep track of the intricate terminology Hawley introduces.
