(NEXSTAR) — Following its bombastic (and terrific) two-episode premiere, FX’s “Alien: Earth” furiously pulses deeper into chaos in the series’ third episode, which finally brings the action — and the monsters — off the Weyland-Yutani ship that crash-landed in episode one.

The first season of the show comprises eight episodes, each with an approximate runtime of an hour. On the film and television rating website Rotten Tomatoes, Alien: Earth has been certified 96% ‘fresh,’ while the audience score stands at 72%.
