Noah Hawley’s upcoming Hulu series, Alien: Earth, is so far the best-reviewed Alien project since the original back in 1986.
As it stands, Alien: Earth is the third best-reviewed Alien piece of media, behind only 1986’s Aliens and 1979’s Alien. Here’s how the new list breaks down with Alien: Earth’s Certified Fresh 90% critic score:
Aliens – 94%
Alien – 93%
Alien: Earth – 90%
Alien: Romulus – 80%
Prometheus – 73%
Alien: Covenant – 65%

Of note, before Alien: Earth, the last Alien movie, Alien: Romulus, reviewed quite well in 2024, the Cailee Spaeny /Isabella Merced feature that mainly featured a truly standout performance from David Jonsson as a synth.
