Anyone watch this yet? Just finished the first two episodes. As a long time Alien fan, I am very satisfied. Definitely has nods to Alien and Aliens, mostly in tone and in adopting the visual aesthetic of Alien, especially the technology.

Cast is fantastic, production design spares no expense (it looks amazing), and there is a definite sense of unpredictability with the introduction of some new species, one in particular is quite nasty.

Some interesting themes to play with concerning the hybrid humans. Effects are great and the xenomorph looks very cool. Mostly all practical effects with it.

Cannot wait for episode 3.
