Unceremoniously dumped on Hulu, In theBlink of an Eye contains three stories told in parallel across separate timelines that attempt to capture the entirety of human existence. In the prehistoric past, a Neanderthal family struggles to survive in an unforgiving world. In our present, an anthropologist (Rashida Jones) studies the preserved skeleton of one of those Neanderthals, while also reluctantly falling in love with a mathematician (Daveed Diggs). And in the distant future, an astronaut (Kate McKinnon) and her AI companion (Rhona Rees) ride a ship deep into space on a mission to save humanity.
