This post contains spoilers For the premiere of two episodes of "Alien: Country".

"In space, no one can hear you scream," as the classic mark goes, but in the new FX Prequel series "Alien: Earth", no one screams much in the first place. The modern new spin of Noah Holly Franchise Ridley Scott has delivered a very pleasant gross and eerie moments in the first two hours, including one of the deaths of cats in the history of science. However, even if viewers consider the events of the show scary, his characters do not; Holly's focus on synthetic humanoids already leads to a strange flat emotional experience that is almost completely deprived of fear on the screen.

The notable absence without a doubt comes from the narrative elections "Alien: Earth" deliberately makes it out of the jump, based on our experience of viewing in the perspectives of two partial synthetic creatures whose own emotions are either muted or prevented by the environment. Wendy (Sydney Chandler) has a child's mind placed in the body of almost superhumanic synthetic being, and although it still feels iOsubocity and passion, almost everyone in the laboratory environment around her quickly suggest that she is no human. Morris (Babu Ceysay), a security officer of the Wayland-Juvani ship, who is surviving a foreign menstrual takeover, is quickly revealed that he is a cyborg who responds to Xenomorph kills fever with an extremely direct face. Interestingly, they are not just faxes in "Alien: Earth" who do not feel fear.

"Alien: Earth" has never promised to be a research on human terror, but unlike the franchise's most famous moments, the feeling of apathy towards almost certain death is a little surprising. Think of Scott's classic in 1979, and the scene that first comes to mind is likely to include Kane on Hurton Hurt, emitting a screaming As a young stranger broke out of the chest. Whether we see Ripley (Safe Water) as if silent while squeezing flames in the dark or we will drop yolks, and besides ourselves, when faced with Xenomorph's mini-murder in "Alien 3", the franchise has always been synonymous with fear of fear. So what does an "alien" look like without fear? The question is Holly is clearly interested in answering.

In addition to many cyborgs, synthes and hybrids, people in "Alien: Earth" do not look particularly motivated by anxiety. The brother of Wendy's brother (Alex Lotter), a military doctor, walks around the magn's accident as if it were in a kind of unoccupated state. We still do not know if he deliberately sticks, separates strongly as a result of trauma, or just stumbling through life waiting to die. Regardless, it shows a lack of synthetic lack of self -preservation. His boss, meanwhile, is a heartless trillionaire who does not pay attention to when he hears a boat full of potentially deadly foreigners who break in one of his high. Instead, the boy Cavalier (Samuel Blenkin) sees only signs of the dollar, waving any worries about losing life, while everyone rubs his hands in the cartoon villain Glay in the ability to possess xenomorph.

If the original "alien" movies tell a story about mankind interrupted by something that is wrong and scary"Alien: Earth" aims to present a version of mankind that has already been made ahead of the wrong thing before the Xenomorphs arrives. Between his synthes, cyborgs, hybrids, trillionaires and dead -eyes soldiers, the farmers of the new series have reduced their personal sense of fear, and perhaps the survival instincts that go with it. There are very little true, vulnerable human beings in sight-which can be the perfect allegorical comparison with my empathy, dystopia, which requires serotonin, generation, illuminated by the glitter of our smartphones and maintained live caffeine and spy.

Judging by the first two episodes of the show, the choice to show a little fear on the screen is a little sword with two edges. At some points, it is difficult to get involved with the terrible or emotional elements of the show when we are constantly shown reactions with ordinary faces of characters we are not particularly related. Part of the tension of a large premise with massive potential - New types of killer killers are lost in a 100 -floor building - Leaking faster than expected when most people on the screen do not look particularly concerned whether they live or die. Of course, stiffness is in some way the point. In a dark ironic (and satisfactory joyful) scene, a man in a full Victorian aristocratic suit corresponds to the door to nervousness when a search and rescue team arrives immediately, adjusting their danger warnings as long as his whole bourgeois dinner.

One of the best scenes in the two -part premiere uses his lack of fear in his favor, inserting the typical sequence of an Xenomorphic attack by focusing on tomorrow's computer road, while his associates are being considered outside the door of Comey's room. The camera and editing are smart here, playing with our expectations by mixing the sounds of objectively freaky (however, for franchise fans, many well -known) Xenomorphic attack with footage of the focused, incessantly peaceful face of Caisay. "Fear is for animals!" Timothy Oliphant, the sage, lost the boy's leader, Kirsch, later telling his departments when they instinctively withdraw from the heinous noise. "You're not animals." But those of us who see at home are, despite its easy qualities, "Alien: Earth" is still at best when making our animal instincts.

New episodes at the premiere of "Alien: Country" on Tuesday at 8 pm ET of FF and Julu.
