Alien Franchise: From Worthless Vs. Predator to Xenomorph TV Drama
The Alien saga, spanning over 40 years, is back scrambling our nerves with 'Alien: Earth,' the franchise's first-ever TV series. The article ranks parts from the dreadful 'Alien vs. Predator: Requiem,' described as 'a terrible sequel, featuring low-grade special effects and zero stars,' to the gruesome perfection of 'Alien: Romulus' praised for 'practical effects' and creature terror. 'Alien: Earth' itself is set in 2120 and tries to recapture the original movie's vibe with 'industrial spaceship sets' and new, potentially Earth-saving synthetics. When it’s right, it’s 'a thrilling addition,' otherwise it’s just space dust.

Alien movies have gone from 'oh no' to meh to barely survive the vacuum… And now a TV show? Nothing says suspense like watching synthetic humans decide Earth’s fate between commercial breaks.
If 'Alien vs. Predator' taught us anything, it's that two monsters fighting equals one pile of movie rubbish. But hey, at least it inspired Ridley Scott to hit the prequel reverse thrusters!
Watching Alien: Earth is like getting back with an ex: some charm, some horrors, and a desperate plea to save what's left of your dignity—aka Earth.
