That was my issue. I explained it elsewhere, but to me the screen is about entertainment. The books based on the Alien universe do a great job at exploring the question of humanity and consciousness in the synths, the brutal capitalism, and social issues. It's harder to read/write about xeno battles, so I get it.

The actors, the props, and all that was awesome. I liked the show for what it was, but I expected xenomorphs in the Alien show, and not pet xenos, but actual uncontrollable ones. Maybe something like a zombie outbreak but with xenos.

I'm also kind of tired of coming-of-age stories, tbh. Maybe I'm just too old for it.
