Nestled at the intersection of jaded Jewish comedies ( Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm), backstage comedies ( The Larry Sanders Show, 30 Rock), and comedies about comedians (too many to name), Difficult People is, on the face of it, so familiar it might appear uninspired. Stars: Julie Klausner, Billy Eichner, James Urbaniak, Andrea Martin, Cole Escola, Gabourey Sidibe The gags are R-rated, sharp, and quick inside the sci-fi pastiche, which makes the absurd dedication to plotting and nuanced characters so entertaining. The silliness wouldn’t hold together unless it was seriously acted, and the show has a killer cast, unlocking Josh Hutcherson’s potential as a comedy straight man and introducing newcomer Derek Wilson as a fish-out-of-water force.
This genre gets tweaked a bit more than most-things get wet and wild almost immediately with some botched time travel, some plot points lifted from The Last Starfighter, and a talking house owned by James Cameron. Future Man comes from the minds of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, both of whom are masters at genre tweaking. Yeah, that’s the setting for one of the strangest, most compelling pieces of sci-fi comedy on television in recent memory. The cure for herpes creates a dystopian divide between humans and mutant beings. Stars: Josh Hutcherson, Eliza Coupe, Derek Wilson, Glenne Headly, Ed Begley, Jr. Allison KeeneĬreated by: Howard Overman, Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir Garnering Hulu one of its first Emmy nominations, the series is a bittersweet tale of those who may labor unseen, but bring joy to untold numbers of people. From high school and college mascots to minor and major leagues, Behind the Mask highlights the hardworking people whose faces you would never recognize, but whose wonderfully cartoonish embodiments of team spirit have become iconic for fans. This beautiful, quiet, and soulful documentary series explores the lives of those who work as mascots, examining how things are different inside and outside of their suit. We also draw the line at simply “exclusive international streaming rights.” That excludes series like Moone Boy and National Treasure: Kiri, which you can find on our more general list of the 50 Best TV Shows on Hulu.
So you won’t find them on this list (you will, however, find them on our list of the best FX shows). However, while some shows, like Reservation Dogs and The Bear, stream exclusively on Hulu, they are produced by FX and are considered FX series. Hulu’s library of originals isn’t nearly as robust as Netflix (and includes more than a few forgettable missteps), so we’re also including continuations (like The Mindy Project) as well as international co-productions (like Harlots). And if you bundle it with the platform’s Live TV service, well, it’s a pretty great deal.īelow, the Paste TV writers have voted on our favorite Hulu original series-although we’re being a little loose with that term. Though Hulu has made the biggest splash with its dystopian drama The Handmaid’s Tale, don’t sleep on the streamer’s excellent comedy series.
