These Are the Best Shows You Should Be Watching on Hulu

What we’re going to say next may shock you: Hulu might just have the widest range of options out there in the streaming multiverse for viewers. Think about it—if you pool together next-day network TV releases with a solid slate of originals, plus a heaping pile of comedies, you have enough options to last at least a couple of lifetimes.

Seriously. There’s Modern Family and all the iterations of The Bachelor. Not to mention, you’ll find series that are dark (The Handmaid’s Tale), hilarious (Pen15), and and heartwarming (Abbott Elementary), all in one compact, lime green app. That’s not even mentioning the weirdo dark horses like Animaniacs, lingering somewhere in between. Oh. And Dave. Dave! Dave is just Dave. Watch it.Anyway. Come to get all that reality-TV binge longing out of your system. Come for a particularly special Nicole Kidman accent. Stay for a good, legitimate cry with Normal People. Your move.

Try Hulu

Abbott Elementary

If you want to know all the joys and pains of being an elementary school teacher nowadays, Abbott Elementary gets it right. Its faux-documentary format feels like someone from the writers room in Parks and Recreation wanted to take on the education systemand the result is one of the better network shows we’ve seen since the days of Parks and Recreation.

Watch Now

Hell’s Kitchen

Chef Gordon Ramsey has been shaming, blaming, and training aspiring chefs since 2005. 2005! That’s a lot of broken blood vessels. Watch and you might learn enough skills to avoid becoming a kitchen nightmare.

American Horror Story

You might not know this (yet), but you can tell a lot about a person by their favorite American Horror Story season. Is it Coven? How about Murder House? Run if it’s Cult.

Watch Now

Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K.

Sure, Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. isn’t connected to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Yet!) But think of it as a break from gobbling up all of Kevin Feige and co.’s Easter eggs. In Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K., Patton Oswalt voices an aggrieved super-villain, which is all you need to know, isn’t it?

Watch Now

Wu-Tang: An American Saga

Wu-Tang: An American Saga follows the legendary hip-hop group, the Wu-Tang Clan, as its members—Ol’ Dirty Bastard, RZA, GZA, Method Man, and Raekwon amongst them—come of age as artists and social activists in New York City.

Watch Now

The Masked Singer

You know the drill. Watch a truly demonic creature sing a little song. Listen to the hints. Guess who’s under the monstrous costume. Wonder why you care so much. Repeat.

Watch Now

Nine Perfect Strangers

If you’re still hurting over the White Lotus-sized hole in your heart, look no further than Nine Perfect Strangers. In another batshit-wild-people-go-to-a-resort story, Nicole Kidman and Melissa McCarthy will have you laughing through the whole stay.

Watch Now

Y: The Last Man

The long-awaited, live-action adaptation of Y: The Last Man—which takes place in a world where nearly every mammal with a Y chromosome is wiped out—isn’t perfect, but it more than delivers on the sci-fi thrill.

Watch Now

Trolls: Trollstopia

The hotly-debated inclusion of Trolls: Trollstopia on this list is, in fact, not a troll. You need something to watch with your kids!

Watch Now

Animaniacs

Life recommendation: Next Saturday, wake up early. Make an obnoxiously large bowl of cereal. Turn on Hulu’s brilliant, riotous reboot of Animaniacs. Relive your childhood. The animated series is back on Hulu and its new episodes are smarter than ever.

Watch Now

Marvel’s Runaways

Sure, Marvel’s putting most of its TV-related efforts into Disney+ nowadays. But don’t sleep on Marvel’s Runaways, which wrapped up the last of its three seasons last year. Following a group of super-powered teens, the show is often just as captivating as anything you’ll see in the MCU.

Watch Now

Little Fires Everywhere

Little Fires Everywhere didn’t quite live up to the triumph of Celeste Ng’s 2017 bestseller. Still: You could do a lot worse with eight hours than spend it twisting and turning with Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon. The series skewers the topics of race and socioeconomic status, and then tears it open further, exposing its complex parts. Let’s put it this way—the ideal of the ’90s subdivision is about to get a lot more complicated.

Watch Now

Bob’s Burgers

In an oceanside vacation town, Bob Belcher runs a family restaurant with the help of his outgoing wife and three oddball children, where his best efforts to sling one-of-a-kind burgers are often foiled by family hijinks, local health inspectors, and hilarious disasters. Where other comedies mock their quirky characters, Bob’s Burgers celebrates them, returning inexorably to a celebration of the weirdnesses that make them wonderful. This long-running stalwart is available in full on Hulu, so stream it to your heart’s content.

Watch Now

Hot Ones

Food competition shows are more precious than ever right now. They’re fun and wholesome and have been keeping many of us sane for months. Hot Ones is the perfect show in this genre to get into right now. There are tons of episodes in which you get to watch celebrity guests cry and ooze snot as they attempt to take down the hottest wings on the planet. What could be more entertaining than that?

Watch Now

Casual

This Hulu original dramedy follows two siblings, one recently divorced and one a lifelong bachelor, who find themselves living together in adulthood. The brother, played by Alex Dewey, is the founder and an active user of a dating app, which he also employs to help his sister get back into the dating pool. They help each other navigate life and new relationships with an unconventional dynamic that can be both heartwarming and problematic.

Watch Now

Harlots

Maybe it’s the accents or the ability to dive into another culture at a time when actual travel is restricted, but British TV shows seem to be all the rage right now. This historical drama is about a feud between two rival madams set in 18th century London. If those aren’t the ingredients for a perfectly sinful guilty pleasure, I don’t know what is.

Watch Now

The League

This show doesn’t get enough hype given that Mark Duplass, Nick Kroll, Paul Scheer, Jason Manzoukas, and Steve Rannazzisi are a comedic dream team. They play a group of friends who are insanely committed to their fantasy football league and all of its wacky traditions, which they will uphold no matter the cost.

Watch Now

High Fidelity

Yeah, we’re bummed too: Hulu inexplicably cancelled High Fidelity after its brilliant first season. If you haven’t watched the TV adaptation of the John Cusack movie of the same name, it’s still a blast of a beginning-to-end story that’s worth picking up. Zoë Kravitz gives an all-time career performance as Rob, a cool-as-hell record store owner who, after a messy breakup, finds herself running back the rest of her list of exes.

Watch Now

Normal People

This limited series actually did justice to the Sally Rooney novel it was based on. Set in Ireland, it follows the relationship between Marianne and Connell from their high school beginnings into adulthood, full of complicated twists and turns. Even if you haven’t read the book, this show will definitely draw you into its deep and enthralling emotional rollercoaster, with outstanding performances by the two leads.

Watch Now

Justified

Originally on FX, Hulu now has all six seasons available of this Western crime drama starring Timothy Olyphant. His character, Deputy Raylan Givens, is one of those badass good guy types who doesn’t always go about things the right way, but he’s charming as hell. It’s a must-watch if you didn’t get a chance when it was on air.

Watch Now

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

If you’re looking for a fun, dark, sometimes shocking, but always entertaining comedy with tons of seasons to binge, look no further. Starting in 2005, this show took off and developed a bit of a diehard cult following. It documents the more or less degenerate lives of “The Gang,” who own Paddy’s Pub, through all of their schemes and misery.

Watch Now

The Great

Elle Fanning stars in this new Hulu original that depicts her fictionalized rise from Catherine the Nothing to Catherine the Great. It’s a satirical, comedic drama set in 18th-century Russia, with some occasional historical accuracies and plenty of love, hate, and humor. It’s already been renewed for a second season, so definitely worth the watch.

Watch Now

Dave

Hi, I’m Dave. The 2020 freshman series has a premise that really could go either way—a white, Jewish rapper wants to dive into the world of hip hop, and he enlists a rag tag group of friends to push him upward. But don’t judge Dave on description; judge the series on heart because it has a lot of it. Already renewed for Season Two, it is currently FX’s highest rated comedy.

Watch Now

Mrs. America

Mrs. America is practically the product of a prestige drama machine. Starring Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne, Uzo Aduba, and a whole litany of others, the FX x Hulu series follows Second Wave Feminism of the ’70s and the trajectory of the Equal Rights Amendment… especially as it applies to Phyllis Schlafly, the far-right activist who spearheaded the movement against the feminist agenda.

Watch Now

Devs

Alex Garland’s new mini-series centers on Sonoya Mizuno’s Lily Chan who is an engineer for a fictional quantum computing tech giant called Amaya. When her boyfriend Sergei goes missing, she’s caught up in a plot of corporate espionage and a technology that fundamentally changes the existential notions of human existence. It’s a challenging plot, which should not come as a surprise for fans of Garland’s other works like Annihilation and Ex Machina. But if you can put in the mental effort, it’s absolutely worth it.

Watch Now

Community

It’s a throwback, but it’s a solid one. Donald Glover is a post-high school jock looking for a community college degree. Allison Brie is an uptight, anxious mess. Yvette Nicole Brown is… well, she’s just perfection. The sitcom about a gang of misfit community college students ran for six seasons (and almost a movie!) and has a cult following to this day.

Watch Now

Happy Endings

If you’ve never watched the ill-fated Happy Endings, all three seasons are available on Hulu. It’s like Friends, but enjoyable. Fun fact: ABC botched the roll out and aired episodes out of order, so the first season doesn’t quite make sense (wonder why it was cancelled after Season Three?), but you can find the correct order online. This is the perfect light watch that won’t make you feel as sad as, say, one particular Elisabeth Moss show.

Watch Now

Castle Rock

Hulu knows when they have a good thing, and sticking with Stephen King’s horror canon? That’s a damn good thing for the platform. Two seasons deep, Castle Rock explores the world of Castle Rock, Maine and the horrifying goings on that happen there. Season Two in particular had quite the Misery bent, so if you’re a King fan, this is a must-watch.

Watch Now

Catch-22

Fancy actor in a limited series? That’s becoming a Hulu specialty. George Clooney, the ultimate movie star, braved the waters and returned to TV in Catch-22, Hulu’s adaptation of the book of the same name. It didn’t get the critical fanfare that some of Hulu’s other limited series brethren got, but damn if it’s not a good watch, if for no other reason than to see Clooney acting his ass off.

Watch Now

The Handmaid’s Tale

Do you love to feel sad? Miss the fine line between dystopian fantasy and dystopian reality? Then do we have a show for you. In all seriousness, The Handmaid’s Tale is an incredible series with even more incredible acting—even if it does veer a bit too close to home. Trudging through some of its sadder plot points is worth it though, because as of Season Three, these once-enslaved women are fighting back.

Watch Now

Pen15

PEN15, the series that follows two teens of the 2000s (played by grown-ass adult women) and how they interact with their peers (who are actual teenagers), seemed to come out of no where last year. It’s a bit bizarre, but it’s also hilarious. A firm departure from the prestige-grabby kind of fare all over television today, PEN15 is sharply funny and absolutely worth your time.

Lost

We. Have. To. Go. Back.

If you noticed that the J.J. Abrams show from the 2000s is off Netflix, it’s because Lost has a new home. Following a group of survivors of Oceanic 815, the ABC saga is now on Hulu for your consumption. Don’t get too caught up in the questions though; I promise, they don’t matter in the end.

Watch Now

Killing Eve

Cat and mouse is perfected in Killing Eve. Following MI5 agent Eve Polastri, the BBC America series dives into the complex world of a sociopath, played beautifully by Jodie Comer. Now that the series is more established, you can watch the drama exclusively on Hulu. Considering that it’s already been renewed for a fourth season before the third season has even been released, you should get caught up. Fast.

Watch Now

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Andy Samberg’s Fox-turned-NBC comedy is some of the best sitcom TV you can find on television these days. Following the fictional 99th precinct in Brooklyn, Detective Peralta (Samberg) and his confidants keep Brooklyn safe(-ish) while also managing to crack you up. You’d be hard pressed to find a more cohesive cast out there right now, drama or comedy.

Watch Now

RuPaul’s Drag Race

Drag Race is unlike any reality show on television—t here’s a reason it keeps sweeping at the Emmys every year. While it may not strike you as your cup of tea, the reality competition where only the best drag queen can wear the crown is as charming as it is addictive. After a few episodes, you’ll be saying, “I’d like to keep it on please.”

Once you get to Season Nine, you’ll get that joke.

Watch Now

Ramy

Ramy is one of those special shows that flies under the radar, but if its recent Golden Globe win is an indicator, it is absolutely the show you should be watching right now. Following the titular character through his life in New Jersey, the series is all about life as a second-generation Egyptian-American in New Jersey.

Watch Now

Dollface

This Kat Dennings comedy is only a couple months old, but it’s very much worth your attention. Following a break up, Jules Wiley (Dennings) has to enter the world of singledom again. But it’s not what you think. Yeah, it’s hard to start dating again, but after a long term relationship, she’s come to realize that the friends she left in her wake may not be the same people she left before.

Veronica Mars

You Marshmallows love a good sleuth reboot. After years off the air, Veronica Mars returned to television for one final season. With that came the first three seasons where fans fell in love with the high schooler-turned-investigator. Kristen Bell is as delightful (if not more so?) in the reboot as she’s always been, but be warned. That final season is explosive.

Watch Now

Justin Kirkland is a writer for Esquire, where he focuses on television, pop culture, food, and the south; he is from East Tennessee and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Loren Cecil joined the Good Housekeeping team as a freelance contributor in November 2021 after interning in the Test Kitchen while in graduate school.

LUNA SEA decides Super Arena 2days, the final chapter of the 30th anniversary tour

LUNA SEA、 30周年記念ツアーの最終章となるスーパーアリーナ2daysが決定 提供:OKMusic <http://okmusic.jp> 2021年10月02日 22:45 『LUNA SEA 30th Anniversary Tour -CROSS THE UNIVERSE- GRAND FINAL SAITAMA SUPER ARENA』 画像を拡大して見る 2020年2月からスタートした全国ツアー「LUNA SEA 30th Anniversary Tour 20202021 -CROSS THE UNIVERSE-」は、コロナ禍の直撃を受け、延期、再延期を繰り返しながらも中止という選択をすることなく、丸2年の歳月をかけて、遂に2022年1月8日(土)、9日(日) さいたまスーパーアリーナ2days公演で最終章を迎える。 本公演のタイトルは「LUNA SEA 30th Anniversary Tour -CROSS THE UNIVERSE- GRAND FINAL」と銘打たれた。本来であれば、昨年5月の東京ガーデンシアター3days公演でその瞬間を迎える予定であったが、その日から約1年7ヵ月の歳月を経て、遂に本当の意味でのフィナーレを迎えることとなった。バンド結成30周年を迎えた2019年には、世界的音楽プロデューサーであるスティーヴ・リリーホワイトとタッグを組み、記念すべき10枚目となるオリジナルアルバム「CROSS」をリリース。その最新作を携えて2020年2月1日開催の三郷市文化会館を皮切りに、同年5月の東京ガーデンシアター3days公演まで、全国15都市31公演を駆け巡る予定であったが、コロナ禍の影響で3都市目となる2月27日宇都宮公演以降、全ての公演が延期に。その後も発表された振替公演が再延期になるなど、先の見えない状況が続いた。そんな中、政府要請のガイドライン厳守はもちろんのこと、より万全な感染症防止対策として、途中場内換気の時間を設けるバンド初の2部構成という形態を取り入れ、2020年12月、遂にツアー再開への第一歩となる「さいたまスーパーアリーナ2days」公演の開催を発表。しかし迎えた本番初日、メンバー真矢(Dr)の新型コロナウイルス感染が発覚し、開演直前に公演中止(延期)がアナウンスされた。そして来たる2021年3月、遂にLUNA SEAは復活の時を迎える。前年12月のさいたまスーパーアリーナ2daysの振替公演として開催された「LUNA SEA -RELOAD-」公演では、各日5000人という入場制限や、客席では声を出すことが禁じられるなど数々の規制が強いられる中、約13ヶ月振りとなったLUNA SEA生のパフォーマンスに、フロアは歓喜と感動の熱い拍手に包まれた。終演後の感染拡大も起きなかったことから、ライヴは安全な空間であることを証明し、遂にツアー再開への狼煙を上げた。5月、「THE DAWN」(夜明け)と銘打った1年越しの振替公演、東京ガーデンシアター3daysより本格的にツアーを再開。その後、福岡、松山、札幌、名古屋、南相馬、宇都宮と2days×6都市を駆け巡り、10月2日、仙台サンプラザ公演のステージでメンバーより、30周年記念ツアーのGRAND FINALとして、さいたまスーパーアリーナ2days公演開催と、ツアーファイナルのステージに臨む熱い思いが語られた。未だコロナ禍の情勢は予断を許さない状況ではあるが、メンバーとファンで作り上げてきた新たな形のライヴ空間が、来年1月のGRAND FINAL「さいたまスーパーアリーナ2days」公演で、どのような成長を遂げ、どのような景色を見せてくれるのか? LUNA SEAの音楽、ライヴを愛するもの全てにとって、かつてない重要な2日間になることは間違いなさそうだ。そんな様々な思いを乗せた全国ツアーは、年内に広島、金沢、神戸を巡り、GRAND FINAL「さいたまスーパーアリーナ2days」公演を経て、政府運営のワクチン大規模接種会場使用期間延長のため、急遽2022年1月31日、2月1日に延期振替となった大阪公演まで、その熱い思いを繋げて行く。 【ライヴ情報】 『LUNA SEA 30th Anniversary Tour…
