This definitely includes at least some "Only on Hulu" shows.I'm hoping it's good but the fact that it's a prequel to Alien has me a bit concerned. As the trailer says, this takes place in 2120, and Alien in 2122, and Aliens in 2179, and it's pretty clear that on the latter two dates, there's no general awareness of Xenomorphs, which means that unless this is some kind of alternate universe, there's a really hard limit to what can even happen in this show. Especially as Weyland-Yutani's board as a whole didn't even seem to know about or believe in Xenomorphs (even if Burke clearly did) in 2179 (i.e. the start of Aliens).But still, one hopes it is good. At least Ridley Scott isn't creatively involved (so I am told, I see he is an EP but maybe that's just so he gets $$$) and Timothy Olyphant is! Also the showrunner is the Legion showrunner, and that was excellent.</blockquote>
