In a dazzling and gory series of variations on the theme of transhumanism, Noah Hawley breathes new life into the xenomorph born in 1979.

The series by creator Noah Hawley is described as a spin-off to the original Ridley Scott-directed film, "Alien," from 1979. The film follows a space crew aboard the starship, Nostromo, who are on their journey back home when they receive a distress call from an alien vessel.
