People used to have to wait a week to find out what happened in the next episode of their favorite television show. Thankfully, that period is passed, since streaming has made binge-watching more accessible. Hulu, in instance, provides a wide range of options for customers who want to binge-watch episode after episode. The only problem is deciding which one to go with. Here are the finest shows to binge-watch right now on Hulu.
30 Rock
Tina Fey is the only thing you need to know about 30 Rock to know that it’s a terrific show. She portrays Liz Lemon, the chief writer for a late-night comedy show akin to Saturday Night Live. She hones her quick wit from Saturday Night Live over seven seasons to make this prerecorded sitcom just as funny. This binge-worthy show also stars Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, and others.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which follows the exploits of detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and the 99th precinct, masterfully balances comedy and drama. With its sixth season being completed, there’s enough of content to view while waiting for more. The show is so popular with viewers that when Fox canceled it after the fifth season, supporters rallied, and NBC quickly picked it up. Hulu has all eight seasons accessible to watch, and you’ll be chanting “Nine Nine!” in no time.
Community
Community is an excellent show to watch if you want to feel better about your profession and life while still getting some laughs. Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) is a lawyer who learns he has been disbarred for fabricating his college diploma and must return to community college. He creates a study club with other people working toward a college diploma, all of whom have their own quirks. While the individuals could not be more dissimilar, their common aimlessness creates a found family that serves as the emotional heart of this funny and progressively ambitious sitcom. Hulu has all six seasons available and is a terrific way to view them all at once.
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Hulu’s limited series Four Weddings And A Funeral is a wonderful pick if you want to binge watch something in a day or two. The show was a tremendous hit with spectators even after only 10 episodes. The sitcom follows a New Yorker named Maya who ditches everything after getting a wedding invitation from a friend in London. It was created in part by Mindy Kaling. The show becomes a sincere and magnificent love letter to London as she is absorbed into the new city’s world.
Futurama
For those days when you want to watch something utterly crazy with grandiose sci-fi plot and really goofy comedy, there’s Futurama. The show begins with Fry, a pizza delivery boy, waking up to find that he has been mistakenly frozen 1,000 years in the future. He then goes to live with his scientist descendant, only to discover how dissimilar things are. It’s a silly cartoon, but it’s also hilarious and smart. It’s available on Hulu for ten seasons, and it was just announced that the series will be renewed as a Hulu original for two more seasons.
How I Met Your Mother
The comedy is actually about friendship, love, and the way relationships define individuals, and it’s told through the loose veil of main character Ted Mosby (Josh R adnor) telling his kids how he met their mother. The nine seasons follow Mosby and four New York pals (Cobie Smudlers, Jason Segel, Neil Patrick Harris, and Allison Hannigan) as they grow from twentysomethings with no idea what they want to do with their life to full-fledged adults with responsibilities and goals realized. Unlike most sitcoms, How I Met Your Mother does not shy away from or make light of serious moments, and that, at its core, is what makes this program so unique. How I Met Your Father, a stand-alone spin-off starring Hilary Duff, is also accessible on the service.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an excellent pick for someone seeking for a long-running feel-good comedy with 15 seasons available on Hulu. The comic series follows five goofy buddies who work at an Irish pub in Philadelphia, which comes as no surprise. This is the show for you if you want a show that doesn’t take itself too seriously and starring Danny DeVito.
Killing Eve
There are almost no words to express how engrossing it is to watch Killing Eve. The series, which hails from Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge and stars Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer as agent and assassin opposite each other, could not be more different. The two characters become fascinated with one other over time, engaged in a cat and mouse game that perplexes everyone around them. There are three seasons accessible on Hulu right now, and each episode carries a powerful punch that will have you anxious to move on to the next one right away.
Nathan for You
Nathan For You is a comedy sitcom with a distinct sense of humour, merging cringe comedy with bizarre parts of our daily life. The series follows Nathan Fielder, a business school graduate with excellent grades, as he travels across the United States to assist struggling firms in his own unique style. Nathan For You is one of the funniest shows to ever grace the airwaves, and this writer isn’t just saying that because he shares the same name as the titular man himself. From making a fake movie to help a Hollywood gift shop get more customers, to making a fake viral video of a pig rescuing a baby goat for a petting zoo, and who could ever forget the infamous Dumb Starbucks debacle, Nathan For You is one of the funniest
One Tree Hill
A group of high schoolers in North Carolina grapple with weird dynamics, relationships, and what their mission is as Gavin Degraw plays softly in the background. The cast of One Tree Hill, which includes a teenage Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush, comes to life how it feels to be on the verge of something without understanding what it is. One Tree Hill draws viewers in and gives them a home over the course of nine seasons. Bingeing the show is a terrific way to get into the middle of it, with so much suspense in the serialized storytelling.
Only Murders in the Building
The elder generation idolizes Steve Martin and Martin Short, while the younger generation grew up watching Selena Gomez‘s meteoric rise from Disney Channel darling to global phenomenon. True crime appears to be a passion for everyone, regardless of age. Only Murders In The Building recognizes this and seamlessly blends them all together in this effortlessly charming, often enthralling, and all-around funny series, which follows three residents of a wealthy New York apartment building as they use the murder of one of the residents as the setup for their own True-Crime series. This is a show that everyone can enjoy, regardless of age.
Superstore
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a big-box retailer? Superstore immerses you in the action with a team of employees who handle everything from sales to customer service. Amy, played by America Ferrera, is at the center of it all, striving to keep it all together despite the craziness. Hulu currently has all six seasons available.
The Mindy Project
Mindy Kaling released The Mindy Project shortly after her fame as an actress and writer on The Office. Mindy Lahiri, played by Kaling, is a successful psychiatrist with a tumultuous personal situation. She deals with dating, choices, and discovering the woman she wants to be in a smart and hilarious manner. It’s a fantastic view for everyone who isn’t sure what they should do with their lives. Kaling is also, unexpectedly, a genius. Hulu has all six seasons available to watch right now.
This is Us
Make sure you have a big box of tissues nearby before you start watching This Is Us because you are going to cry a lot. The Pearsons (Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore as the household leaders) are followed through different timeframes as their narrative unfolds in this wonderfully brilliant series. It’s a fascinating look at how circumstances bind individuals together and how they shape them as they move forward. Hulu currently has all six seasons available.
Ugly Betty
If you enjoyed Superstore and want to see more of America Ferrara, check out her previous work on Ugly Betty. It follows Betty Suarez, who, despite having little interest in fashion, is hired as a new assistant at the high-fashion magazine Mode. It’s an incredible call to always trust in yourself and your abilities. Even if you’ve seen all four seasons before, it’s worth revisiting. It seems to get better every time in terms of drama.
Veronica Mars
Veronica Mars was an engrossing sitcom about a high school student with a detective’s eye that aired in the early 2000s. Following a movie in 2014, the show resumed in 2019, with star Kristen Bell reprising her career-making role as she tries to figure out what’s going on in her hometown of Neptune. The revived season, as well as previous seasons, is available on Hulu, and whether you’ve seen them previously or are seeing them for the first time, it’s worth diving in and watching the riveting story unfold.
