Sci-Fi Alien: Earth (Noah Hawley and Ridley Scott) | FX on HULU

[Elayis]

Yeah, so far this has been typical bloated streaming nonsense. The story that Hawley is trying to tell with these characters is just not compelling. There's more creatures and more gore, but it's still following the same beats of previous installments without any genuine innovation.

I'm sticking with it for Olyphant and the Alien aesthetic, but I have to actively force myself to not reach for my phone when watching.

I haven't watched the show yet & without going into spoilers, does the show do a lot of world-building? And do we get to see daily life of this futuristic society? It would be fascinating to see how advanced humanity has become and what day-to-day life is like.

Some of it, yes. There is a broad overworld and some detail into the poorest and richest people but not a lot of time spent on either so you don't get a full picture of what it is like in their world.

Feels like the first three episodes were a 6.5 or 7/10 movie that ended on a cliffhanger. I expected a Noah Hawley show to be much scarier and have a lot more world-building. Will watch episode 4 and then decide whether to continue.
