One of the TV shows I am most excited about seeing is Alien: Earth, which debuts today on FX and Hulu. The show is helmed by Noah Hawley and is set to feature a mix of human and synthetic characters, which is a staple of the Alien universe.The cast is led by Sydney Chandler, who will portray Wendy, a meta-human with the mind of a child and the body of an adult. She is joined by Timothy Olyphant, who plays Kirsh, a synth and mentor figure to Wendy.The cast also includes Alex Lawther as a soldier named CJ, and Samuel Blenkin as Boy Kavalier, the CEO of the Prodigy Corporation. Essie Davis is set to play Dame Silvia, with Adarsh Gourav as a character named Slightly.Rounding out the main characters are Kit Young as Tootles and David Rysdahl as Arthur.The logline has me on the edge of my seat: "When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat."Noah Hawley is one of my favorite showrunners, and I have been obsessed with his reinvigoration of Fargo and his work with the X-Men on Legion.He recently hosted an event in Austin, where IndieWire reported some of his comments on both the show and the world.I want to dig into them today, so let's dive in. - YouTubewww.youtube.comAlien: Earth And Our Present One of the things I think Hawley does sell...
