The flow is a little weird and the commercials are entirely too much. Like it’s a lot. This may be a next day on Hulu watch for me to avoid them

I enjoyed the first two episodes. Big vibes from the original movie in that opening scene. Glad Hawley kept that detail in there since this takes place two years before Alien. 

Yep. Opening scene aesthetic was right out of Alien

the writers were a little all over the place but alot of alien action can cover up plenty. Speaking of, this xeno is a nasty fucker with bad intentions.

Disagree, it was the human characters that made Alien/Aliens so great. So far this doesn’t have that. 

I found the opening scene really derivative and off-putting. That is sacred material to me it shouldn’t be used just for member berries. 

It was always going to be very hard for this to live up to expectations for me. We’ll see how it goes from here.

I'm weirdly into the corporate rivalry between Prodigy and WY.  I hope we see more of that

Once the rest of the Lost Kids grow up, I think the human(ish) part will be better (I hope).  They're still too childlike, which has its moments, but is also off-putting when they're supposed to be badass, emotionless tools.  Except for Smee, his reactions when they walked into the lab was hilarious.  "Gross!" 

They did a good job with the weird alien species besides the Xeno.  The bloodsuckers, the eyeball, etc.  I hope we see some backstory of the original crew collecting the samples and how the outbreak first happened.

Hey I’m glad they put the first 2 up early/same day. But I’m guessing the rest will be next day on Hulu/Disney like all the other FX shows. The TV commercials, for me, make this almost unwatchable when it airs live. It was pretty bad the amount of commercial breaks

Loved it! I look forward to more hijinks from the eyesquid. Reminded me of The Thing when it emerged from the cat's face. 

The alien slaughtering everyone in a matter of seconds made me laugh. The only way to fight them is through controlled containment. 

As far as commercials Im subscribed to the disney+ package and dont have to deal with that bullshit.

Also funny that it was really two things that paid homage to original movie there

Agreed - I think it was 8 or 9 commercial breaks per episode - all for Disney/Hulu/FX shows (including Alien: Earth).  Was really off-putting and detracted from my enjoyment.
