Wow just wow......How do you mess up a show with such a rich background. They had an amazing set up with a crew aboard a ship with many species of aliens on board. Do we get to see what happens to them nope.....we see strobe like flashes and they are now all dead but one. What a waste of a setup. You might say well it's tv and they only have so much time to set up characters. But the peterpan kid thing is silly and didn't need that much time. Then we get to the wannabe marines. With Aliens being one of the greatest movies of all time they never continued the use of the marines again. What a waste of such a iconic type of badass. Even Hudson from Aliens was more badass than any of these dweebs. They have no diverse personalities they are mere cattle. Why can't they realize what the viewers want. We want Aliens, real marines, scary thrilling scenes and to actually see the deaths not just background blurs. They spend more time on flashbacks over the attack scenes. By the end of episode 2 I struggled to care for any of these characters. The original plans for a alien sequel where ripley and Hicks would be continued would have done a way better job of this theme of corporate greed than this show ever could. The worst part is getting your hopes up with this show. We wait and wait with the trailers looking so good to have this pile of garbage. That only critics could love as they only care about art and not good quality shows. Don't bother wasting your time on this show, hopefully a alien romulus sequel will come out soon to make up for this.
