5/10. First few episodes half decent but pet aliens and kids as adults...not so much. Be surprised if this gets another season
Given its good scores on IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, I'd also be surprised if it does not get another seasoneven though quite a few people are complaining it is almost 100% certain to get a season 2 i feel
Kind of agree, first few episodes were very nostalgic. Got sillier as it went on, felt a bit student film at times which is never good, the inevitability of the last two episodes was annoying, could have done with a decent plot twist. Still watchable 7/10.5/10. First few episodes half decent but pet aliens and kids as adults...not so much. Be surprised if this gets another season

Disney bought Fox in 2019, which owned Aliens.it's like the guy in charge wanted to make a Blade Runner or new IP but could only get things done by pushing Disney's new IP purchase.
Apparently did massive numbers in streaming views too.
I'm not against a season 2 as if we get one I do feel things could improve heavily and very quickly if handled properly. I don't hate the show I'm just disappointed by it, it's like the guy in charge wanted to make a Blade Runner or new IP but could only get things done by pushing Disney's new IP purchase. There's so little related to actual Alien lore it's unreal, a cold desolate universe with little signs of life suddenly turned into one with (apparently) tons of life, given the fact they keep capturing highly evolved parasitic organisms that by nature would require other life.
It's just sloppy, it's a fun watch if you can turn off your mind a bit but if you're a hardcore Alien fan you'll probably struggle with it imo.

Not Blade runner, though there is a TV series coming to Amazon Prime in 2026.
In Aliens the marines mention they've done other "bug hunts" but it in inferred those species were relatively benign compared to the xenomorphs, but I assume not completely benign as the marines were involved.
watch ep 6 was amazing the rest pretty much trash lolStarted watching episode 4, thought I'd give it another go, maybe I was too harsh.
Oh don't hurt the aliens it's not nice !???!
Oh look I can talk to them !!!!
Oh look I have a little pet. !!!!!!!!! And !
Wtf.
Wish I hadn't bothered, but I was bored and had a brain dead moment.
Utter garbage and just pee pees all over the alien universe.

yeah was it 5 the flash back one ?Ep 5? The one set on the ship?
Did you not find it stupid already when it reanimated the dead cat in the second episodeOf all the stupidity, the eye being able to re-animate a 2+ day old decomposing corpse blew it for me. How it managed to scamper all the over to it is yet another afterthought. Really enjoyed the limited world building elements but nah.
I must have missed it was dead. I've already forgotten the earlier episodes.Did you not find it stupid already when it reanimated the dead cat in the second episode
The back half of its body was mostly missing, fairly sure its deadI must have missed it was dead. I've already forgotten the earlier episodes.

This reminds me that the corridor black goo / dust stuff which the hazmat guys where spraying down, ignoring the fact everybody else just walked past these guys nonchalantly, was not explained!I enjoyed this, thought it was good fun, the kids as adults was well written and fun, looks great, and good to see other xenomorphs, who make things vastly more interesting, than just alien repeated over and over (generally badly), massive better than ANY black goo ***** that they've been pedalling for past decade.
