This was the most underwhelming finale in history. The series should be called Peter Pan or something, the Alien is literally a pet here. And only present so the series could be called Alien. Give him a leash already. And thanks for nothing with Ocellus, such potential there, and then - nothing.

Disney has already ruined the Alien franchise with this train-wreck of a show. Please no season 2.

Ooof, I wanted to love the show so much but it wasn't great. I probably won't be watching season 2, maybe for Kirsh if he's still in it, who knows. Right now I am not interested in watching any more of the show.

Whether people liked the show or not, FX have already ordered a second season and the show did perform very well for Hulu and Disney, so a second season is going to happen. Look at the Halo series - it was garbage and it got renewed for more than one season lol.

This show sucks. There was one good episode and that is when they used it to show the aliens. Hate Marcy/Wendy. When they show her salivating mouth close up making clicking sounds, I want to throw something at my TV. She's a kid in an adult body and she can beat aliens, beat robots, control an alien that invaded Earth, control switches, control electricity, want to do harm to the brother who loved her, caused the xenomorph to kill the soldiers and the officers who were protecting her, and  I'm supposed to like this character along with her psycho red headed friend and the males who are the dumbest of the lot. The kid was even hateful and wanted to kill the scorpion that was contained. She didn't suddenly turn mean.  I hate this show and it is more than a disappointment. It sucks! Get rid of the lost boys, especially Marcy/Wendy, the woman who was their caretaker, her stupid husband and let's see some alien backstory without the idiot storyline of kids doing what marines couldn't do in t he movies.

Very very poor ending. I had hopes till episode 5. Then it all collapsed because the script was basically garbage. Kirsh as one the key players, intelligent as he was portrayed in first episodes, was an character that could've been more misterious and I was expecting him to have his agenda/deal with WY, but they went really cheap and cheesy. He was way way too naive and stupid in the finale, like it was not him. So the script is very contradicting as well imho.

Xenomorph as a dog does not work. Like wth, seriously?

I just hope we get to see Ridley do his movie to end Davids story.

And yeah, Wendy has been given way too much power and control over things. A character like this is never entertaining to watch. She as a character is interesting in few episodes but the script was not creative enough. Cheesy phrases and grunge/metal music at the end does not help also.

🚨 Rant Warning 🚨

I tried to like it, to look past all the glaring issues, the horrible writing and the painstaking stupidity among the characters. To see something so utterly amazing I'd forget all this just for the moment. Only, there was nothing. No real interesting characters, no sense of dread, no convincing threat, no tension, no adrenaline and no compelling drama whatsoever. A Xenomorph that's practically stripped of all its terror which in itself dragged the show down considerably. Endless useless citations to Peter Pan's adventures and symbolism that never hits the mark because nothing is ever engaging to begin with, and throwbacks and references to the older films sprinkled all over it like a bunch of confectioners who fail so miserably at baking cakes but try to cover it up with half-hearted toppings. It's inedible. A complete cringefest. I would even....

WoULd eVen...

Recommend Prometheus over this. Yep I said it.

The series was retarded.  It never should have seen the light of day.

First, I’m an OG Alien fan. I saw Ridley Scott’s “Alien” in 1979, on my 20th birthday, and it was a game changer. Mixing horror with SciFi was brilliant. Fast forward to 2025. The storyline was good, not great. I enjoyed the premise of different alien species being collected. The one thing that didn’t sit well with me was a synthetic being able to communicate with a Xenomorph, almost “pet like”. I will rewatch this again over the winter, but it’s not something I’d purchase in physical media form. When I really, really enjoy something, it’s added to my 4K and Bluray collections. This will not be.

Agreed – I enjoyed the expansion of alien species and the attempt at diving deeper into Weyland-Yutani lore, but the execution was fumbled by horrible writing and sub-par acting, having children inhabit Synth bodies was a mistake imo. The best episode in the series was Episode 5 and it's cause there were no children Synths and it took place on a familiar looking ship and borrowed heavily from what worked in Alien.

Overall I expected more and have no intention of ever adding this to my collection, sadly. I really wanted to like it, kept holding out that the finale would deliver. I was disappointed.

I absolutely loved the Alien Earth series! The new types of alien species introduced to us was awesome, especially the Eye! I mean, come on! I'm so looking forward to seeing the next season. Great job!

Chris, I tried to click quote and comment on this person and it didn't work so I am going to just put what they said in quotation marks: "And yeah, Wendy has been given way too much power and control over things. A character like this is never entertaining to watch. She as a character is interesting in few episodes but the script was not creative enough. Cheesy phrases and grunge/metal music at the end does not help also." I agree with everything this person typed.

Glad somebody agrees @LoveSciFi

This show had so much potential. I hope season 2 will be the last. Unfortunately they wont cancel season 2.

To me a bad episode is better than no episode at all. So I am glad Season 2 is green-lighted. And Season 1 isn't really bad overall. It has some really well-made episodes (I like 1,2,3 and 5) so I see a glass half-full and enjoy those 4 hours watching. Just hope it won't become Alien Pokemon lol
