Of all the big, ambitious swings that “Alien: Earth” takes, none are riskier than the parallels that showrunner Noah Hawley chooses to draw between his new sci-fi series and “Peter Pan.”

FX’s Alien: Earth is here to put an ‘S’ on the end of Alien again, not by James Cameron’s method of throwing multiple xenomorphs at us, but by introducing an array of new species to the franchise.

This under-seen sci-fi gem from the 1990s is set in a not-too-distant future where humanity has become obsessed with genetic perfection, eerily mirroring many of the themes of Alien.
