Alien: Earth,' the new series from Noah Hawley, starts with a crashed ship, mind transplants, a blood-eating bug, and more thrills.

I’m not sure what kind of bizarre Eyes Wide Shut activities were going on in there, but the Xenomorph racks up around twenty kills in a manner of seconds. Episode 2 is basically a hype video for the alien—and its the best this franchise has been in a long time.

Alien: Earth comes out of the gate swinging with a pair of premiere episodes that highlight everything that works about the show; a xenomorph playing the gory hits and a ton of intriguing new additions to the decades-old franchise.
