The show, based on the Ridley Scott film, creates its own creepy-cool world and juggles ideas that go beyond merely trying to gross out its audience.

The sets and worlds of Alien: Earth are vast and expansive. The practical sets are massive and intricate in their own right, and then expanded further by digital augmentation and CGI. Production designers Andy Nicholson and Jason Knox-Johnston craft a fully fleshed-out world for the series that feels tactile and positively dripping with atmosphere.
