Hulu Shows

Hulu is a great place for all kinds of entertainment, but it has a few specific properties that truly stand out. Hulu’s immense library of live TV and on-demand content will keep you occupied for hours at a time, and it’s making strides to provide quality original programming. With so much material at your disposal, it’s easy to forget about what Hulu is actually best at: streaming tons of TV shows and movies. A handful of channels—like Hallmark, Disney, and the Paley Center—offer a lot of vintage material, while on-demand titles offer the best of everything from the past 10 years.

The new episodes on Hulu Plus usually go live 30 minutes before broadcast, which gives you plenty of time to check out the full series before broadcast.

HBO Shows

With the fact that everything’s on streaming (and on Netflix!) in HD and 4K at any moment, it’s hard to pick and choose. But don’t let all the shiny objects distract you from what’s actually new. When you want to enjoy something great, you want to pay for it in all the right ways. That’s why we’ve put together a list of the most binge-worthy shows and movies on streaming right now—plus, what to watch when they’re not on.

Cable Subscriptions

Whether you’re watching things like The Goldbergs or Westworld, Hulu’s on-demand streaming is unparalleled. All the streaming sites also offer HBO, but there’s a major difference: the shows on HBO are also on premium cable channels, like HBO, and that means a whole other tier of exclusivity and depth of content.

AMC TV Shows

Around the time Netflix acquired “Seinfeld,” we were already ditching cable subscriptions for an overstuffed digital service called Amazon Prime. Netflix may have eclipsed that whole internet-of-things thing by now, but Amazon is still number one—and no other service—can claim such a massive number of subscribers. On Tuesday, Amazon’s already-massive 20th Century Fox catalog becomes Prime Video, the online-only division’s latest addition to its ever-expanding slate of original content. We’re excited to see if this deal heralds a more collaborative relationship between Amazon and Marvel Studios, which usually shares equal billing with Amazon on the comic-book movie front.

Alongside the limited series “The Marvelous Mrs.

Black Mirror

Fresh off an Emmy win, this is the most consistently watchable series on television today. Who doesn’t want a portal to heaven and a drug that can be consumed?

Blazing Saddles

Mel Brooks’ outrageous satire stars Cleavon Little as a black sheriff who must take control of a western town overrun with black settlers—which is all kinds of racist, of course.

A period drama so predictable that every single storyline ends in death and divorce, but which remains one of the greatest TV shows of all time.

“Big Little Lies”

There are few things in life as spectacular as watching a great show with family and/or friends in a tiny living room while eating potato chips and guacamole. In the age of Netflix and Hulu, though, this was not always possible.
