Second post in a long time..
I am happy we're getting something new in the Alien universe. FX is one of the few channels I'd want to work on an Alien series if we couldn't get HBO. I love what Hawley has done with Fargo. I didn't see the newest season but the first 3 were great. Legion I enjoyed at the start but it got a bit wild towards the end and I fell off. I hope he isn't going for what and goes for a horror vibe for this show. Legion definitely had some great horror scenes.
The setting is questionable but I'll save all judgment until I see the pilot. I'm excited for the cast they put together as well. FX is so great with casting. Would love to see some of Noah Hawley's previous actors like Dan Stevens, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, or Bokeem Woodbine..
