What are the best Hulu originals?
For a decade Hulu has been your go-to place to catch up on TV shows that you've missed. Now that it has branched out into creating original content, what are the best new shows in it? Here is a list of top-notch Hulu originals that you might consider streaming.
The Handmaid's Tale
With how novels set the bar high, it's kinda hard for adaptations to keep up. But Hulu did it well with its adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel. It is set in the future where America is under a theocratic rule that forces fertile women to be impregnated by men from wealthy families. If you're curious about what it has in store for you, check it out The Handmaid's Tale on the websites below!

- #1May 6, 2019"Harrowing to watch and chilling to the bone, The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian tale deep-rooted in history. As a female, what if society dictates that your sole purpose in life is to give birth and live a life of servitude? This is an abominable concept that has actually happened in the past in Puritanical societies, although to a lesser extent, but it's still downright repugnant. Elizabeth Moss shines as June. She receives excellent support from Joseph Fiennes and Yvonne Strahovski. This is a commentary on totalitarian societies and how inherently evil they are. One of the best Hulu shows ever. "

The Handmaid's Tale - #2May 6, 2019"Somewhat fun but cheap looking. It's like Marvel allocated all of its budget to its movies and forgot about its TV shows (including the truly atrocious Inhumans and Iron Fist). I like the fact that the kids are diverse but the show should focus more on them and not their parents. This is still ok entertainment if you have nothing else to watch. "

Marvel's Runaways - #3May 6, 2019"Heart-poundingly intense and incredibly tightly plotted. Time-travel flicks are particularly tricky to make, as the rules must first be clearly established. 11.22.63 accomplishes this then tells an astonishingly intricate and touching story. One of the most intelligent, mind-twisting TV series ever. It's fantastic on every level! "

11.22.63 - #4May 6, 2019"This is an awesome series with insane characters and relatable situations. I love the snarkiness of the dialogue mixed with the darkness of the story. People give Casual bad reviews because they think it's unrealistic. Hell NO. Life is THIS messy and chaotic. A pure cynical delight! One of the most criminally underrated Hulu shows ever!"

Casual - #5May 6, 2019"Difficult People isn't difficult to love. It's hilarious, nasty and sharply-written. I really enjoy Billy and Julia and laugh at how ridiculously narcissistic and shallow they are. Their spiteful banter towards celebrities who they clearly envy is a goldmine of jokes. One of the best and funniest Hulu original series ever!"

Difficult People - #6May 6, 2019"I will never understand why people would voluntarily join cults but this show rationalizes their behavior. In spite of their paranoia, zealots are still humans. It's riveting and extremely well acted by leads Aaron Paul & Michelle Monaghan. One of the best, smartest Hulu original shows."

The Path - #7May 6, 2019"Raunchy and revolting and filled with horrible characters, which I LOVE! This is a twisted show about female empowerment. The storyline is unpredictable and keeps you at the edge of your seat. Super excited for season 3! My favorite Hulu original so far! 😍"

Harlots - #8May 6, 2019"I feel like the show's creators aren't actual Stephen King fans and are just riding on the success train of recent King adaptations like It and Carrie. It started off strong and intriguing but then progressed into a hot mess that went nowhere. "
