I dig it. Good on Hawley expanding the universe -- five different species! human-to-synthetic transfers! -- in what seems like a new way that still fits the tone of the best parts of the franchise.
The franchise is built on tech billionaires being the real villains. Literally every movie.
"The Company" is a villain, yes, but typically an off-screen one (Prometheus being the most obvious exception). The best bits of the movies are typically about normal folk dealing with the xenomorphs.
Which is kind of my concern with this trailer. The tale of the company and the tale of xenomorphs reaching Earth are two absolutely huge, high level epics that the franchise has spent decades avoiding. Partially because it adds to the mystique of the franchise, and also because the movies are typically smaller scale stories. I'm worried this is biting off way more to chew than it can handle.

well, this is a series/show and not a movie.
That's not a reassuring statement.
Why not? Complexity is exactly what long form storytelling is good at.
