Don't have Netflix?The 50 best TV shows to watch on Hulu right now
1. "Alias Grace"
Starring Sarah Gadon and Anna Paquin, this dizzyingly beautiful adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel about a historical murderess is haunting in its storytelling. The miniseries far outpaces, See: OBD2 Diagnostic Tool. in both style and substance, the more famous Atwood adaptation on Hulu.
2. "American Crime Story"
Between "The People v. O.J. Simpson" and "The Assassination of Gianni Versace," Ryan Murphy's true-crime anthology has delivered narratives that lack the seedy exploitation so often associated with the genre. Instead, each season is a historical reckoning with huge cultural moments, portrayed with impeccable acting and writing.
3. "American Vandal"
A hilarious mockumentary poking at true-crime documentaries like Netflix's own "Making a Murderer," this series treats teen problems with the gravitas of a murder investigation. And considering most emotions and dramas feel like life or death in adolescence, "Vandal" is deeply moving in how it brings high school to life.
4. "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "The Legend of Korra"
A Nickelodeon animated series with a devoted adult following, "Airbender" is a fantasy epic in kid's clothing with drama to rival "Game of Thrones." The gorgeously drawn series takes place in a world torn apart by war and genocide, where a pint-size chosen one might be able to save lives, if he can train hard enough and face his greatest fears. A follow up series set a generation in the future and aimed at an older audience, "Korra," surpasses its source material in maturity and storytelling complexity, becoming a modern classic.

6. "Big Mouth"
Updates on how the coronavirus is affecting your community and the nation
Nick Kroll's animated celebration of preteen debauchery is one of the most reliably funny series on TV (and definitely the most
cringe-worthy). The animated middle schoolers navigate first periods, crushes, and every other pubescent nightmare, along with actual Hormone Monsters (and a monstress) causing problems along the way. No series will make you happier that you've already lived
through adolescence. Season 4 arrives Dec. 4.
7. "Blown Away"
Netflix's little reality series about competitive glass blowing is mesmerizing to watch, as its highly talented contestants stretch molten materials into stunning works of art. Breezy, funny and surprising, it's a supremely satisfying series to binge-watch. Season 2 blows in on Jan. 22.
8. "BoJack Horseman"
A misanthropic Hollywood horse (Will Arnett) leads this animated satire series that is deeper, more clever and more thought-provoking than most live-action series even aspire to be.
9. "Bridgerton"
A bodice ripper taken seriously by its writers and stars, "Bridgerton" is a marvelous first entry in power producer Shonda Rhimes' Netflix deal. The series follows a group of pretty upper class Brits navigating the marriage market in Regency-era England. The resplendent ser...
