"But the way the camera moves about the Alien multiverse, its Peter-Pan-esque storyline-it even drops a mini- Alien movie right inside episode five, turning the spaceship into a house of horrors with all types of creepy crawlies seeking escape routes, engaging in inter-species beef on beef. Add to this Smashing Pumpkins' "Cherub Rock" as the end credit coda? That Billy Corrigan repeated wail, "let me out," screaming over the guitar feedback at the end of episode 5?"
"Here we have the classic Xenomorph and new alien species that include the T. Ocellus (an eye-catching parasitic creature), a flying insectoid, a predatory plant-like alien, and a powerful, large-scale Species 37. Other introduced elements include different versions of alien eggs and a new topic for your therapist in a Facehugger for the 21st century, and a potentially new hybrid creature who sweats in buckets."
Alien: Earth on FX/Hulu delivers a creepy, cinematic Alien experience anchored by Noah Hawley's showrunning and striking camera work. The series blends a Peter-Pan-esque storyline with concentrated horror set pieces, including a mini-Alien movie in episode five that transforms a spaceship into a house of horrors. The end-credits use of Smashing Pumpkins' "Cherub Rock" amplifies the unnerving mood. The show mixes the classic Xenomorph with newly designed species such as the T. Ocellus, a flying insectoid, a predatory plant-like creature, and a large-scale Species 37, plus varied alien eggs and a modernized Facehugger. The series frames human curiosity and greed as the catalyst for the invasion and presents humans as the true monsters.
