Alien Earth has officially been awarded the Golden Tomato for Best Horror Series by the Rotten Tomatoes Awards! Apparently that's a thing. Surprisingly the series beat out the likes of Welcome to Derry – the Stephen King IT prequel series which debuted last year as well. Well done Noah Hawley and the crew who made Alien Earth happen!

Go figure, Rotten Tomatoes is bought by the Hollywood big wigs, so of coarse they would say this slop is an award winner.

Yeah, I watched Welcome to Derry as well and it was a MUCH better horror series, should have won this. Feels like there aren't many unbiased award ceremonies anymore lol. They're all bought and paid for cause audience sentiment does not seem to agree.

Welcome to Derry was amazing, I don't understand how it lost either.

Alien Earth X The Simpsons Yeah, Moe, that Show sure did suck last night. It just plain sucked! I've seen shows that sucked before, but Alien: Earth was the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.”Woof! It's just so uninspiring, stagnated and anti climatic... It's like Alien:Earth best friend is Fast and Furious and is currently dating the Twilight Series...

RT giving out awards is a joke in itself.
