The Alien franchise is finally making the leap to TV with Alien: Earth, an FX and Hulu series that takes the terrifying Xenomorphs down to Earth for the first time. It’s a big change from the usual isolated spaceships and deep-space horror we’re used to,

Alien's first-ever TV show has gotten off to an impressive start, and its early reception puts it among the franchise's all-time best projects.

Noah Hawley's daring exploration of the Alien universe makes for a great sci-fi TV show that asks big questions without neglecting the fun factor.
