Alien: Earth,' the new series from Noah Hawley, starts with a crashed ship, mind transplants, a blood-eating bug, and more thrills.

All over the wrecked ship, inside the building it crashed into, and back at Neverland where Boy Kavalier watches his hybrids’ progress, Episode 2 of Alien: Earth offers many ringing examples of hubris and human folly.

Alien: Earth comes out of the gate swinging with a pair of premiere episodes that highlight everything that works about the show; a xenomorph playing the gory hits and a ton of intriguing new additions to the decades-old franchise.
