Looks like Alien: Earth has been getting pretty stellar reviews:

Alien: Earth is 'Andor for Alien' — read the Empire review

Noah Hawley's xenomorph sci-fi horror Alien: Earth, starring Sydney Chandler and Alex Lawther, lands on Disney+ on 13 August. Read the Empire review.

Andor for Alien, Hawley's series is a rare prequel that serves to enrich its source material, breathing new life into a once-tired franchise. This is the Alien resurrection we've long been waiting for.

I'm quietly optimistic about this.

Really enjoyed the first two episodes. Looking forward to the remainder of the series.

I thought the first episode was very good.

I have only watched episode 1, but what an excellent episode. Spectacular in places, terrific world building. Intrigued to see where it goes.

Good cast as well.

Some of the writing could definitely be better, leaving a lot of questionable decisions in the story and a few holes in it too. But generally, I've enjoyed it so far; hopefully, the issues work themselves out through the season. The alien design is timeless and probably one of the best creations in film or TV.

Really enjoyed episode 3. Overall, finding lots that I like about it to continue watching. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Morrow is my favourite character, closely followed by Kirsch.

After a shaky first episode, I feel the show has found its feet and I'm quite enjoying it. The new aliens are all worthy entries into the Alien universe. I like that they showed some restraint with 2 of them, so we've yet to see what horror they inflict. They've also not 'overpowered' them, keeping the Xeno the top predator in the food chain. It also appears to have been a clever decision to include them to help avoid it being a total rehash of every Alien movie so far.
