Part 9/12:

"Alien Earth" attempts to grapple with weighty themes—such as humanity's survival, artificial intelligence, and morality. The series suggests that humanity might not deserve to survive its own creations, echoing classic science fiction fears about AI and bioengineering. However, the execution feels superficial, with the series cramming in these ideas amid cheap action sequences and nonsensical plot points.

The show also attempts a queercoded aesthetic, suggesting a subtext of queerness through character design and narrative choices—an idea that feels shoehorned rather than integral. The mention of characters talking openly about reproductive issues in a juvenile manner underscores the series' reliance on shock and spectacle over meaningful commentary.
