"Finally, a talented storyteller takes on the one permutation left in the sprawling Alien franchise what happens if the legendarily carnivorous Xenomorph, along with a few other extraterrestrial horrors, gets loose on Earth? Because it's from the mind of showrunner Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), we also get human minds transplanted inside synthetic bodies, warring corporations feuding over deadly alien life forms that have crash-landed on Earth, a suspenseful homage to the first two Alien movies and a quirky, compelling synthetic person played by Timothy Olyphant."
"On the surface, this is a street-wise, Southern-tinged noir mystery, with Ethan Hawke as a dysfunctional "truthstorian" actually, a muckraking citizen journalist and failing bookstore owner digging into the mysterious death of the righteous scion from a corrupt, powerful family in Tulsa. But it's also an exploration of steadfast, working-class culture pitted against the corrupting power of wealthy, entitled elites. Basically, the story of our times."
Thanksgiving provides time to catch up on notable television. Alien: Earth places carnivorous Xenomorphs and other extraterrestrial horrors loose on Earth, adds human minds inside synthetic bodies, corporate conflicts over deadly alien life, and a quirky synthetic character portrayed by Timothy Olyphant, blending homage to earlier Alien films with fresh sci-fi storytelling. The Lowdown is a Southern-tinged noir starring Ethan Hawke as a dysfunctional 'truthstorian'—a muckraking citizen journalist and failing bookstore owner—investigating a righteous scion's mysterious death in Tulsa while contrasting working-class steadfastness with corrupt, entitled elites. Pluribus is described as a creative and surprising science fiction story starring Rhea Seehorn.
