When we sat down with Alien: Earth creator and showrunner Noah Hawley, he got the memo about the one-word answer. Not only that, but the Fargo creator also expanded on that sentiment to give us a brilliant tease for what’s to come in the remaining six episodes:

Set in 2120, it hinges on a batch of alien and various mutating specimens who crash-land on Earth in a research vessel that’s owned by one of five corporations that now rule during this Corporate Era — a chillingly plausible schematic.

Earth” ends with a five-star, no-notes needle drop (or choice of a pre-existing song). A tone of dread has been set throughout the episode, in which we learn that corporations, technology, and military rule in this future world.

In Episode 2 of Alien: Earth, Morrow successfully fought off the Xenomorph, for the time being, with a taser rifle and a net fabricated from artificial webbing. This act was extremely helpful, as it saved Hermit’s life when the Xenomorph was about to take him.

Like Ridley Scott’s Alien, Hawley’s new series takes its time building up terror and suspense. In true reverence to its predecessor, Alien: Earth crafts a dark, chilling atmosphere as it turns the Maginot into another haunted house in space. This is a sharp contrast to the bright, lush “paradise” of Neverland.

Here is what you need to know about all of the "Peter Pan" Easter eggs and connections in FX's "Alien: Earth."

Alien: Earth is finally here, and despite the title, the xenomorph aliens are just one of many beings featured in the FX series streaming on Hulu.

Earth doesn’t settle for unleashing the franchise’s signature acid-blooded terror on a new stage. It drags an entire menagerie of extraterrestrial nightmares down to our planet.

Alien: Earth might have already done something that the folk at Lumon Industries in Severance have been building towards.

Alien: Earth shares an unfortunate number of qualities with a pretty terrible sci-fi streaming series, but there may be hope for Noah Hawley's Alien show yet.
