If you are new to the platform, my advice is to start with these 5 amazing shows.

You know those people who won't start eating until they find the perfect show to watch? Well, that's me, and I have to admit that it's become hard to choose anything else to watch because of the huge variety of what's available.

There's no denying that one of the best streaming platforms today is Hulu, with its original series and everything else in its library. Hulu has become a go-to platform for many viewers looking for a variety of shows, from gripping dramas to silly comedies.

So here is a list of my favorite shows, new and not so new, that I recommend you watch right now.

1. Paradise (2025)

There's no way I wouldn't have started with this one. If you're a fan of high-concept sci-fi series wrapped in political drama and murder mystery, Paradise is your choice. Set in a dystopian future, the show explores a world where technology and human emotion (or lack thereof) collide to create a paradise... that's far from perfect.

Each episode of this 8-episode drama is full of unexpected twists and turns, and just when you think you may have solved one mystery, another one pops up. And of course, it doesn't hurt that the main characters are played by extremely handsome actors, like Sterling K. Brown as Agent Collins and James Marsden as the President.

2. Rivals (2024)

After you finish Paradise, you might want to tune into something less dramatic and jaw-dropping, but just as compelling. That's where Rivals comes in. This is a drama that dives deep into the lives of several interrelated people. The show examines ambition, loyalty, and the lengths people are willing to go to succeed.

The story follows British nobleman Rupert Campbell-Black and the ruthless CEO of Corinium Television, Lord Baddingham, as their long-standing rivalry spirals out of control, with some new names thrown into the mix that eventually become even more pivotal to the story.

3. High Potential ( 2024)

High Potential is one of the most refreshing comedies I've seen in years. The show follows a young woman named Morgan who, after a long chain of unfortunate events, lands an unexpected job as a consultant for a police department. Morgan suffers from a rather unique condition that only people with above average intellectual abilities have. And that makes her a perfect asset.

What makes the show different from any other crime drama is the witty humor and the never-ending personal drama that each of the main characters has.

4. Abbott Elementary ( 2021)

My next choice is Abbott Elementary, easily one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. The mockumentary-style comedy brings to life the world of a public school in a working-class neighborhood, focusing on a group of teachers who are dedicated to their students despite limited resources.

Each character on the show has their own charm, and it's hard to imagine the world of Abbott Elementary without any of them. But my favorite is probably Ava Coleman, the school's principal. I don't know how she manages to be so cool and caring at the same time.

5. Better Things (2016 - 2022)

Well, you will probably want to start this show when you hear that Mikey Madison stars in it, but for me it was Pamela Adlon who was the reason I tuned in to this show. The show focuses on her character, Sam Fox's life as a single mother of three trying to navigate the never ending drama that life throws at her. She has to take care of herself, her kids, her flamboyant mother, and her career. But what she teaches us is to love our lives no matter what.
