The Best TV Series to Stream on Hulu This Week | Lifehacker
If you are in search of a brand new present to binge this weekend, and also you subscribe to Hulu, please proceed studying for the perfect new exhibits the streaming service has to supply.
The highest profile premier this week is the second season of Life & Beth, Amy Schumer’s glorious rom-com. If you need really vicious comedy with a British edge, give Such Brave Girls a shot. Or relax with the ice-cold homicide thriller of A Murder on the End of the World. (Full disclosure: I’ll be guiltily watching an entire season of My Strange Addiction as a substitute.)
Life & Beth, Season 2
The second season of Amy Schumer’s Life & Beth premieres this week on Hulu. All 10 episodes are dropping directly, so you’ll be able to binge this addictive present all weekend. Life & Beth begins the place most rom-coms finish: stars Schumer and Michael Cera play a younger couple navigating an opposites-attract marriage. He’s a sensible, no-nonsense farmer and she or he’s disorganized, self-defeating, however unfailingly sincere. And it’s the honesty (and a number of empathy) that elevate this present above most TV comedies.
My Strange Addiction, Season 5
This week, a full season of TLC’s My Strange Addiction slimes it approach onto Hulu. If you’re unfamiliar, My Strange Addiction profiles individuals who can’t cease doing issues like consuming mattresses, attaching leeches to themselves, and consuming paint. So yeah, it is pure spectacle TV—however in case you can depart behind the moral issues raised by gawking at folks apparent psychological issues, it’s as addictive as…consuming an enormous glass of paint. It’s the form of present that makes you assume, “I got my problems, but at least I’m not that bad.”
Such Brave Girls (2023)
This BBC-produced collection takes no prisoners in detailing the tousled lives of a dysfunctional household made up of two grown sisters and their mum. If you are out there for the “we might insult each other, but when it comes down to it, we’re family” vibe of a typical American sit-com about adversity, look elsewhere: The characters in Such Brave Girls are vicious and relentless, and so they genuinely don’t love one another. It’s not uplifting, however it’s a lot funnier than the choice.
A Murder on the End of the World (2023)
I can not get sufficient of Nordic noir, and A Murder on the End of the World serves up an ice chilly pitcher full. Hero Darby Hart is a real crime buff and hacker who will get invited to a celebration at a billionaire’s secret retreat in Iceland. As you may guess, somebody swiftly dies, and Hart tries to resolve the case. A Murder on the End of the World spices up its Agatha Christie-style story with slick visuals, glorious music, an of-the-moment star in The Crown‘s Emma Corrin, and a very mind-bending thriller.

The collection takes an extended leer into the actual lives of probably the most tousled, drugged-out screwballs to ever placed on a Speedo and faux to battle one another for an viewers. The tales hit like an influence bomb off the highest rope—jaw-dropping of their excesses and madness, and all instructed by way of archival footage and interviews with the individuals who had been there. In different phrases, Dark Side of the Ring is the definition of bingeable trash TV.
