ALIEN Worlds has left Netflix fans captivated with its renderings of life on other planets.
The space documentary speculates about what aliens would actually look like, rejecting the stereotypes of little green men with huge eyes.
The four-part miniseries, dubbed “Attenborough in space,” is narrated by Sophie Okonedo and is a bled of fact and fictions.
Specifically, it applies the laws of life on Earth to the rest of the galaxy – creating some striking looking creatures in the process.
Stunned fans quickly took to Twitter to comment on the mind-boggling scenes.
“I’ll be MIA for however many hours it takes to binge this new Alien Worlds show on Netflix. My jaw fell open and hasn’t shut,” one user wrote.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE a good speculative science doc. Especially one's with cryptids. I mean, just look at this guy… Space gremlin? Alien aye-aye? Why the hell not!

If you were one of those kids like me who was obsessed with The Future Is Wild and Alien Planet on the Discovery Channel growing up, you should go watch #AlienWorlds on Netflix immediately.
