Before it gets terrestrial though, Alien: Earth opens in familiar fashion, aboard a spaceship owned by Weyland-Yutani. Through its impeccable production design, Alien: Earth immediately grounds itself in the larger world that Ridley Scott introduced to audiences back in 1979. Through the Lost Boys, Alien: Earth establishes some of its most compelling ideas about what happens to people when their lives are defined by their relationships to technology. But Alien: Earth has the heat, and it’s one of this year’s strongest new shows. Alien: Earth also stars Essie Davis, Adarsh Gourav, Kit Young, David Rysdahl, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diêm Camille, and Cameron Rodger Brown.
