I came here to write this, so thank you for saving me the trouble.

I really wanted to like this show. It has great production value. It has some good actors. It had potential.

Unfortunately the writing is so bad it's insulting to my intelligence as a viewer.

You know how fire fighters and medic personnel FAMOUSLY bring assault rifles into every collapsing building or emergency situation? Or how elevator doors close lightning quick after you enter them, such that they could prevent... Oh let's just be hypothetical here... A XENOMORPH from catching you, or how famously quiet plane crashes are when they hit your building such that you can continue your apartment party without being any the wiser?

I'm happy you found my comment useful. I'm just stunned this has a 66% on RT with viewers. I'm not shocked when critics are wildly off base, but for the viewers to have given this such a high score speaks to how hungry people are for high budget sci-fi properties or maybe just Alien specifically. Either way, this franchise should have had more room to be better than it was clearly given.
