Suppose the worst enemy of humanity is not from the stars, it has got your face. The spectacular ending of Aliens: Earth flips the narrative and makes ordinary people nightmares. Ready to lose sleep?

The prequel to the legendary Alien franchise by Noah Hawley, whose first season of the show on the FX channel has come to an end, did it with a bang—or rather a whisper? The finale, which aired last night and was named “The Real Monsters” did not give fans the xenomorph bloodbath they were expecting. Instead, it hit much harder.

Wendy, our hero, is racing against time in a corporate maze of deceit. This builds tension with the help of short sentences She reveals secrets that make your skin crawl. That creepy eyeball alien, T. ocellus, steals the scenes away all season–creeping, plotting, oozing of otherworldly menace. Then, poof. It vanished without a payoff. Fans on Reddit are raging. Where is the Facehugger frenzy? It is Hawley, in a new Hollywood Reporter chat, who owns it. It is not yet about jumping scares, he says. Season 2 further explores human-alien hybrid horrors.
Without spoiling the pleasure of knowing that Arthur is back, but in a different form. He returns, but distorted like a puppet from an alien game. It’s chilling. Disturbing. The kind of cliffhanger that makes you refresh Hulu at 2 a.m. No closure here, folks. It is just a pure setup of additional Alien Facehuggers, acid blood, and perhaps the long-awaited Xenomorph roar.
Season 2 as Hawley is promising is much more entertaining, with a mix of corporate greed and cosmic terror. The Alien franchise is coming back to life, people. This prequel not only survived, but it is evolving. In case you binged it, tweet your thoughts on social media. If not, start now. Believe me you will be thrilled when the true monsters come out.
