No swearing license

You’re right about the tension. I feel like it’s hard to build that on a small screen, where people can pause the show or wander off. But I’m sure other shows have done it.

I tried to enjoy the bits of it that worked for me: the aesthetic, the sci-fi tropes, and the nostalgia of the first couple of Alien movies. I’m not sure that’ll be enough to keep me watching the whole series, but I’ll watch ep2.

I regret paying to see Prometheus. Not just because it was wasted money, but I feel like it encouraged the studio to make Covenant.
