So far it is really nailing the vibes of the first two films. It takes place a couple decades prior to Alien and one of the new plot points is that an up and coming rival corpo city state to Wayland Yutani is porting the minds of terminally ill and disabled children into synthetic bodies.
The cast does a phenomenal job of portraying kids in adult bodies with their mannerisms, humor, and body language and it has all the clicky clack retro sci fi the series is known for an I fucking love it so far.
Definitely a mix of both films in terms of themes and action. There is clearly some Aliens feel with some military grunts investigating a crashed ship and also some Alien vibes with the slow burn of the first couple episodes. I highly recommend for fans of either of those movies.
Yeah, it’s good. Nails the vibe, the art style, the horror elements, the setting, etc.
It also feels like something new. Plenty of references to the rest of the franchise, but it isn’t a remake or reboot or legacy sequel. It’s a new story, new cast, new characters, new aliens. Noah Hawley has long-since proven he can handle this, I’m excited for the rest of the series.
Yeah Fargo is one of my favorite TV series of all time.
Legion also criminally underrated
