Covenant left me pretty much done with the series. I love the original three films. Covenant did things to the series that I simply cannot abide.
Earth and Near Future are inherent shackles. The big appeal in the original films is the exotic locations and hostile environemnts. Space stations, colonies, starships. Industrial, utilitarian.
We don't need to see aliens running around suburbia. It looks awful, and i'm really hoping this isn't going to be some kind of a detective drama or something with an Alien.
The only way to make the Earth setting actually work is if it's A. only where we are starting from, or B. the events are incredibly isolated. Otherwise you just trample all over Alien and Aliens. Which, if you're going to drop those names constantly, you better not do that.
I've said it many times in the past, but Alien Isolation serves as a great template to where you could take the series. Not specifically Amanda, but tonally and creatively. Outland with an Alien. A space station, deep space, between Alien and Aliens or even Aliens and Alien 3. Develop some good characters, make it a mystery series, and then have a great shift in tone at some point which has the Alien come into the forefront.
I'm not really excited. Until I see a deeper synopsis, a story breakdown, or even just some actual content, I'm not going to get excited. "ALIEN" just doesn't juice me up like it used to.
