I’m a huge fan of the first two moves and maybe Romulus too. But this series didn’t fit the Alien universe.

They started off with the right aesthetic in the first episode but they used it to segue into a universe that isn’t compatible with Alien at all. That was kind of sneaky.

Also it is set before the first Alien movie yet the tech and androids are more advanced than the first two movies.

I think it’s a good idea to branch out beyond just the Alien in a clostraphobic space, but this doesn’t work IMO.

Also, some of the characters have what are like superpowers. Alien was never a superhero movie. Appealing to fans of other franchises just homogenised the production.

All these elements play a big part in the writing and unfortunately the five episodes I watched didn’t interest me. I’m not interested in most of the characters.

I hope it doesn’t continue because I’m afraid these poor decisions will contaminate future production.
