Alien: Earth’s best character is a ‘sort of Ronin’ cyborg with a ‘Zen state of dark enlightenment’
From the first time he appeared onscreen in FX’s Alien: Earth, there’s been something delightfully off about Morrow. Played by 46-year-old British actor Babou Ceesay, the prequel show’s even-tempered cyborg (the first in franchise history) is the only surviving member of the USCSS Maginot, which crash-lands back on Earth in the show’s opening episode.

Alien: Earth succeeds where Ridley Scott’s Alien sequels failed
Alien: Earth delivers everything you’d want from a series with “Alien” in the title: The iconic Xenomorphs hunting down hapless humans; gratuitous body horror; and androids who you can never fully trust.

Also appreciated by many fans is the future tech…
