Before you watch the trailer below, consider the cast.

• Mahershala Ali: Oscars for Moonlight and Green Book
• Naomie Harris: Oscar nomination for Moonlight, and played Miss Moneypenny in Skyfall
• Glen Close: Oscar nominations for The World According to Garp and The Big Chill
• Awkwafina: Well, she’s Awkwafina.

I get it, Oscars and Oscar nods aren’t the basis for judging a movie. But this is a great cast, make me hopeful for this latest addition to Apple TV+’s sci-fi push.
