I tried watching COVENANT, knowing it would suck. I bailed about 2/3 of the way through. Ridley Scott, outside of THE MARTIAN, has been a hack director as of late. Someone please take away the keys to the Alien franchise from him.

I have never watched any movie in the series past the second. No need, never will.
I’ve managed to do the same with Terminator.

Also a fan of Alien3.
Now, it's not nearly as good as the two before it, and I the fate of Hicks and Newt is pretty lame, but as far as sequels go...I think we can agree it could have been far, far worse.
I like penal colony setting, the cast, cinematography and as mentioned the dog variant. There's a lot I like here.
Alien Resurrection - I like parts of it. The mercenaries I like and they have sort of inspired me to make a rogue trader like group of misfits for Space Hulk later in the year/early 2019.
I haven't seen anything after Resurrection.

I liked a lot about Alien3's middle section. I hated the beginning where they kill off the survivors of the previous movie and the ending where they not only kill off the main heroine but try to make the death she's had nightmares about into some kind of noble sacrifice. It was a horrible way for her to die after all she'd been through and I'll never rewatch the movie even if I liked the other 90% of it. Comparatively, Aliens had a pretty happy ending.
Alien - Great ending
Aliens - Great ending
Alien3 - Shit ending
Alien Ressurection - Shit ending
Prometheus - Shit ending (this movie would be way better if they didn't connect it to the Alien franchise at all)
Not gonna bother watching Covenant. Mixed reviews is good enough to tell me not to bother.

You guys are forgetting about the Alien Vs. Predator movies! Surely those are canon, too, right?

It’s weird that we haven’t seen a Predator fight a Queen yet

I just finished watching Alien Covenant. It was better than Resurrection (not high praise) and better than Alien 3 (also not high praise). That does NOT mean it was good. But it has its merits.
+ Michael Fassbender does a fantastic job
+ The effects are great, including the aliens
+ Starts out pretty decent, really
-/+ It makes me curious to watch Prometheus, which I have never seen
- Starts treading some horror tropes and it goes quickly downhill
- If you are surprised by the "twist", you have apparently never seen a movie before this one
