Many times it felt like it was more about the kids than the Alien stuff.
I think it was supposed to be that way. They leaned heavily into the peter pan story, and were developing more universe background around the corporations and synthetics.
On paper I'm good with that. In practice, it kind of got old watching kids. Hats off to the actors, because they did a great job being a kid in an adult body. But at the end of they day, is watching a bunch of 8 year olds as the main attraction entertaining? It almost felt like watching a bunch of mentally disabled people since they were in adult bodies.
I'm right there with you bro.
Yep. Honestly it isn't even a bad premise, those kids are a pretty good sci-fi setting that (to my knowledge) is very original. However I feel like it kinda stole too much space to the main reason anyone would watch an Alien series : the actual alien.
