this series sounds kind of.. hmmm... terrible. the og movies are horror films.
this series is not that, and detracts from the entire point. 'lets humanize the aliens' does not sound interesting in the slightest.

The show might be bad, we'll see, but I wouldn't write it off just because the genre of the show doesn't match the genre of the movie from the 70s. If this were the case, Andor would also be a terrible show because it didn't follow the Space Fantasy genre of the original movies.
good point, but i doubt anything will top poor things for 'immature entity in adult body'
Noah Hawley did a great job of turning Fargo the Coen Brothers movie into a universe that had lots of fleshed out ideas, while still retaining the Coen brothers' style of alluding to a bigger world with unanswered questions and interesting characters with untold back stories.
I'm gonna give it a chance based entirely on his involvement.
RIP Alien series. But we still have the first 3 movies. That's something.
I'm gonna watch. Sounds awful, still watching.
Also it's got Olyphant in it.
This is live action?
The 30 second teaser during the Superbowl was entirely CGI and pretty high octane, so I thought it was going to be a CGI series and I was kind of excited about that.
