The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) Early Science operations have started at the end of September 2011. Over one hundred high science profile projects have been identified as high priority for execution. 97% of them and about 30 filler projects received ALMA data. The first exciting scientific results from Science Verification datasets and Cycle 0 observations are coming out in refereed journals since the beginning of 2012. In this talk we will quickly review some of the most impressive achievements of ALMA in its first Cycle of operations. We will also summarize the status of the on-going Cycle 1 and the plans for the Cycle 2 for which the call for Early Science proposals will be made in October 2013 with a deadline for proposal submission in early December 2013.
