We have had Hulu for a while, and I could not think of any other prestige dramas that started that early. I stopped watching during the second season as it was too grim for me.

One of my best friends is close friends with the wife of one of the founders of Twitch. I met him at their wedding. Anyway, I heard this bit of trivia on a podcast a while back, but I can't remember which one.
