I was a young adult when the first Alien movie came out and I have been a fan of all the sequels ever since. The Alien Earth tv series I believe is designed more for teens and younger kids. The pace is slow, the terror is half of what it was in the original movies. The aliens don’t seem as brazen. They show up in one scene and then disappear! I will keep watching a few more episodes and reevaluate. But so far, it is very tame and slooowwwww moving.

The series started out well with a promise of more intrigue to come.. then it began to drag a bit but I kept hoping it would get better. After all the flashbacks back and forth through the 3 years, I lost interest. It became more of a memory game of events and trying to analyze the mental state of the 2 main girls from younger to older and back again. I gave up! And it takes a lot for me to give up on a good plot. Sorry!

First impression: I think the character who plays Pia is overly dramatic obnoxious and rude. Almost turned me off from continuing to watch.
