Looks like Alien: Earth has been getting pretty stellar reviews:

Andor for Alien, Hawley's series is a rare prequel that serves to enrich its source material, breathing new life into a once-tired franchise. This is the Alien resurrection we've long been waiting for.

I'm super excited for this. Comes out on the 12th!

I've actually seen the first two episodes of this. It's really good, revives the sense of suspense of the older Alien franchise films.

I haven't seen it yet. I'm planning on re-watching the other Alien movies before trying it. I watched Alien/Aliens and forgot how completely different movies they are. I remembered Alien, but only remembered bits and pieces of Aliens from watching it when I was younger. Both are terrific.

I would recommend checking into watching the films in chronological order. This show takes place before the events of the first Alien film, I believe.
