Season 1 – Alien: Earth - It is Good



The title is a misnomer.
The show is about Earth.
It is about humanity.
That is its true horror.

A corporation runs the world.
Its leader is a young man.
A mere boy.
He makes all the decisions.
His whims are our fate.
It is a new form of terror.

A young woman is a hybrid.
Her mind is a child's.
Her body is an adult's.
This is a very clever joke.
Children are now in charge.
They look at the adults.
They ask, "Why?"
They are the only ones with sense.

The monsters are not the point.
The point is us.
The show asks if we deserve to live.
It is a silly question.
It is the kind of question one asks at a dinner party.
One does not expect an answer.

The story is long.
It is a long story.
It should be shorter.
A good joke knows when to stop.
This one does not.
Still, one is amused.
It is a most curious diversion.
