Hidden-Gem TV Shows On Hulu
How To Die Alone (2024) How strange it must have felt to deliver an acceptance speech on behalf of a series that had just been canceled a few weeks prior. This was the case for Natasha Rothwell who, accepting the award for Best Ensemble Cast in a New Scripted Series at the Indie Spirits, spoke of her time at the helm of the short-lived How To Die Alone with positivity and grace. (And a call to action for beta blockers to have "more beta blocking.") Best known for her supporting roles on Insecure and The White Lotus, Rothwell took a much more active creative role in this 30-minute Hulu comedy series, serving as both its creator and lead, Melissa, a JFK Airport employee whose brush with death causes her to finally prioritize love and happiness. Despite failing to reach wider audiences during its single-season run, it was an undeniable critical success. Watch it on Hulu. Reservation Dogs (2021–23) I recently mentioned Reservation Dogs in the context of shows that failed to get Emmy recognition until their very last season. And, while we'll never know what it was that finally tipped the scales during S3 (and secured not only an Outstanding Comedy Series nod, but a Lead Comedy Actor nod, too), what is clear is that this FX show has had an extremely passionate fanbase pushing for its success from the very beginning. Count the BuzzFeed Streaming Team among this fanbase. The series which follows four Indigenous teens from rural Oklahoma, who do odd jobs and commit petty crimes in hopes of one day being able to leave the reservation, was shouted out by Danica Creahan in 2021 as a show not enough people are watching and, again, as one of the best shows of 2021. Watch on Hulu. Casual (2015–18) You might know her best as the pesky HR rep following Deborah and Ava around on Hacks (or from her many perfectly calibrated supporting roles, which are too many to name) — but from 2015 to 2018, Michaela Watkins had center stage in the family comedy Casual. In it, she played Valerie, a recently divorced therapist and single mother who moves in with her younger (and crucially, single) brother (Tommy Dewey), the creator of a successful dating app. Her daughter (Tara Lynne Barr — who I will forever mix up with Emilia Jones) is wise beyond her years and has a dynamic with her mother that asks: What if Lorelai and Rory Gilmore but messier? Sneakily wise and acutely observed in its depiction of listlessness in your 30s, this is a show that you might want commit to. Watch it on Hulu. Bunheads (2012) Speaking of Rory and Lorelai, Amy Sherman-Pallidino (creator of Gilmore Girls) is unfortunately no stranger to a one-season cancellation. Long before Étoile on Amazon Prime Video, there was ABC Family's Bunheads — the network's answer to Glee, which proved to be a critical darling but a big swing and a miss where ratings were concerned. The series concluded after just 18, shaggy episodes — more than enough airtime to elicit some strong feelings about Sherman-Palidino's trademark fast-talking women at the show's center. Namely, Broadway legend Sutton Foster's Michelle Simms (my thoughts are largely positive, for the record), the series' lead, who is plucked from her life as an unhappy Las Vegas showgirl to work alongside her new mother-in-law at a ballet studio. No matter how you feel, this ranks among the ASP oeuvre; you'll agree with me when I say that, when it comes to comfort viewing, you can't do much better than it on Hulu. Devs (2020) Calling all Alex Garland heads. Maybe you're hot off a 28 Years Later watch, or saw Civil War and wondered what else Garland and Nick Offerman might be able to cook up together. Look no further than this eight-part limited series which stars Offerman as a tech-mogul CEO involved in a massive cover-up involving an engineer's missing boyfriend, and, of course, much bigger existential issues facing humanity. Allison Pill, playing the tech company's deputy, goes toe to toe with Offerman's Forest for the Creepiest Acting Award while Cailee Spaeny (also featured in Garland's Civil War) transforms into the young, male coding prodigy, Lyndon. A choice! This series is packed with big ideas and a Garland-y atmosphere that will suck you in — but I must confess that one of the main reasons to watch this is so you can fight about it with your friends. You're going to have strong feelings about it one way or another. Watch it on Hulu. Difficult People (2015–17) A whole decade before they took home the Best Leading Actor in a Musical Tony for Oh, Mary!, Cole Escola had a supporting but memorable role in Julie Klausner's comedy series, Difficult People. Some will remember it as that show about two deeply misanthropic, Jewish best friends (Klausner and Billy Eichner) living in New York. Others will remember it as the only show in history to feature Seth Meyers jerking off Eichner, and a cameo by Kathie Lee Gifford, in a single episode. Both are correct. Depending on your tolerance for unlikable protagonists, you might find this particular humor and worldview grating. But, regardless, I think you have to respect a show that delivers on its title — and for those raised on Seinfeld and Curb reruns, this should go down it on Hulu. Everything's Gonna Be Okay (2020–21) Featured in our roundup of shows that actually reflect what it's like to be queer today, this one-season, follow-up series from Josh Thomas (Please Like Me) is a breath of fresh air. Thomas is Nicholas, a neurotic, gay twentysomething who has just learned that his terminally ill father would like him to be the guardian to his two teenage half-sisters, one of which is on the autism spectrum. The rest of the series follows Nicholas as he builds the plane while flying it, so to speak. As Matthew Huff notes in our original guide, it's unusual to see a queer character — particularly of this age — represented as a "leader" or "provider." But that is exactly what we see here, with Nicholas doing his very best to keep some order in the family. Like Please Like Me, Thomas pulls off the impressive alchemy of mining life's darkest moments for "comfort watch" fodder. Watch it on Hulu. High Fidelity (2020) We almost had a Da'Vine Joy Randolph-centered Season 2 of High Fidelity and Holdovers fans know better than anyone that that's a big "L" for the culture. One of the most contested TV cancellations in recent memory was this gender-flipped TV adaptation of the classic film and book, which found its audience just a little too late. Zoë Kravitz reminded us all how underutilized she was in Big Little Lies while playing the dynamic, Brooklyn record store owner, "Rob" (Robyn), at its center. Here's to hoping we right these wrongs by nominating Kravitz for Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in The it on Hulu. Top of the Lake (2013–17) So, you're having a hard time letting go of Handmaid's Tale? Tap into this eery cinematic universe from the mind of Jane Campion, also starring Elisabeth Moss. It's hard to believe that Top of the Lake, a two-season limited series starring Nicole Kidman and conceived of by one of our greatest filmmakers, needs any signal boosting at all — but here were are in the age of Peak TV. Your mileage may vary on China Girl, the follow-up season that critics largely regarded as disappointing and hollowed out, but its first season is a stone-cold masterpiece. In this atmospheric, New Zealand-set story, Moss plays Robin Griffin, a detective whose own story begins to come into focus as she investigates the pregnancy of a 12 year-old girl. Watch it on Hulu. Say Nothing (2024) "Urgent" is a word that can get overused in reviews of political thrillers of this nature — but with so many eery parallels to what we're seeing play out in Gaza today, it feels apt to describe Say Nothing this way. The FX limited series adapted from the Patrick Radden Keefe book of the same name is actually about The Troubles, specifically the abduction of a mother of 10 from her Belfast apartment in the '70s. But its examination of violence and radicalism ring true today. It will be interesting to see how Say Nothing fares on Emmy nomination morning. Despite receiving rave reviews, and what seemed to be promising interest and viewership at the time of its release, chatter around has seemingly died down in the months since. Could this be the result of its binge-drop rollout? Or the result of so many shows being dumped in the last month of Emmys eligibility? Who knows! But whatever happens, this is a series absolutely worth your it on Hulu. Vida (2018–20) If you've made it this far, you've probably recognized a pattern. A lot of the shows that have flown under the radar have centered characters that typically exist on the margins of society. That is certainly true for Vida, the GLAAD-winning Starz comedy that was canceled after three seasons. In it, two estranged Mexican-American sisters Emma (Mishel Prada) and Lyn (Melissa Barrera) return to their old East LA neighborhood to bury their mother and in the process uncover a handful of paradigm-shifting secrets. Including, of course, the revelation that their mother quietly married a woman. Interesting, especially considering she rejected Emma's own queer identity. The authentic storytelling and lived-in characters, which critics rallied behind during its run, can be largely attributed to its all-Latinx writer's room and almost entirely female crew. Watch it on Hulu. Stream all of these movies on Hulu.

How to not get eaten by a shark, explained by professional divers
Although sharks aren't the mindless man-eaters they are sometimes made out to be, experts know that staying safe involves skill, knowledge, and practice. Host Bertie Gregory filming a ragged tooth shark underwater. "Sharks Up Close With Bertie Gregory" premieres on National Geographic on July 5. Photograph By Dan Beecham, National Geographic Regardless of size, sharks can be unpredictable, so it's important that those who share the water with them have knowledge of, experience, and respect for the animal. So what does it take to swim with sharks? Ahead of National Geographic's Sharks Up Close With Bertie Gregory premiere on July 5, streaming on Disney+ and Hulu the next day, we talked to shark experts to find out how they prepare for these endeavors. Sharks up close While filming the show, National Geographic Explorer Bertie Gregory experienced his 'all-time favorite' shark dive in the 'spooky' Cathedral underwater cave in South Africa's Aliwal Shoal reef. Magazine for all ages starting at $25/year (Cape Cod may have the highest density of great white sharks in the world.) As many as 40 spotted ragged-tooth sharks 'were just swirling around in this cave,' he says. Growing to around 10 feet long, these seemingly menacing creatures have 'terrifying looking mouths with hundreds of needle-sharp teeth.' But Gregory wasn't afraid. 'Fear comes from a lack of understanding,' he says. He knows that needle-like teeth are designed for grabbing rather than slicing, which means 'prey needs to be a size they can swallow. I'm too big to fit down their throat, so they can't chew me.' Even great whites—probably the most feared fish on the planet—aren't mindless man eaters. 'We're not on their menu,' says Gregory. 'We're low in fat, and we taste funny.' Adult white sharks have evolved to eat seals and sea lions because of their energy-dense blubber, as opposed to us sinewy humans. Although shark bites are incredibly rare—there were 47 unprovoked bites in 2024, according to the International Shark Attack File—the best way to prevent any incident is to understand the conditions and the animal's behavior. Staying safe around sharks Shark scientist Melissa Cristina Márquez, who didn't appear on the show but has been diving with sharks for over a decade, always carefully reviews environmental factors before getting in the water with any shark species, but especially large ones. 'I never enter the water if there's a strong scent trail from bait or carcasses, unless it's a controlled research setting,' she says. For an experienced professional like Márquez, safety protocols are a non-negotiable. This includes working with a highly trained crew, following clear procedures, and using a safety pole when needed to make sure there is always something between you and an overly curious shark. Time of day is also important. Predatory sharks tend to hunt at dusk and dawn, so experienced professionals usually avoid these times, especially when the water is murky. 'If they're hunting in poor visibility water, they could mistake a human for a seal,' says Gregory. By the time a large predatory shark has taken a test bite and realized the human isn't food, the victim likely has catastrophic injuries, he says. 'It's about not giving them the opportunity to make a mistake.' Some factors, however, are impossible for researchers to know beforehand—like how the animal is feeling. 'Is it hungry? Is it full? Is it hunting? Is it happy? Is it healthy?' asks Lacey Williams, a shark behavioral ecologist who appeared on the show. 'We can't ask, unfortunately.' Reading a shark's body language Sharks give off signals if you know how to read their body language. Signs that a shark feels uncomfortable or agitated include jerky movements, raising its head, lowering its pectoral fins to point downwards, and arching its back. If Márquez notices an exaggerated swishing tail, the animal making tighter circles, bumping objects around it, or several close passes, 'that's a signal that it is time to exit the water calmly and quickly,' she says. When you're in the water with sharks, it's important to stay calm, move slowly, avoid sudden movements, and 'have a healthy respect for what that animal is capable of,' says Williams. Always 'have your head on a swivel,' she says. Don't turn your back to the shark and always maintain eye contact. As ambush predators, sharks are less likely to see you as potential prey if you keep your eyes on them at all times. Overturning stereotypes Although it's sensible to be cautious, a shark isn't going to try to chomp on any human it sees. Many species—including hammerheads, puffadder shysharks and thresher sharks—tend to be timid and avoid divers. (This is how we can share our coasts with sharks.) For predatory species like tiger, bull, and white sharks, going after a meal uses up valuable energy, so they need to know their efforts will be worth the reward—and that they won't get injured themselves. Márquez says she stays vertical in the water to appear as large and off-putting as possible, joking that she's not sure 'how much that actually works in my favor at a meager 5 foot 1.' Experts also consider how to prevent stressing out the sharks. 'These are wild animals, and every encounter should be on their terms,' Márquez says. That means giving them plenty of space and never chasing or cornering them. 'Swimming with sharks is a privilege, not a thrill-seeking stunt,' she adds. Most importantly, never, ever try to touch a shark. 'None of us really like being touched without our consent,' adds Williams, so the same goes for sharks and other animals. Some experts worry that the rise of social media footage of professionals interacting with sharks encourages people to take unnecessary risks—and sometimes get hurt. People 'think they can just go up and touch them or ride them, and that's very much not the case,' Williams says, even for docile species. When it comes to sharks, people are usually concerned about the wrong thing, says Gregory. With these majestic animals threatened by human activities—including overfishing, habitat loss, and pollution—he says, 'we've spent far too long worrying about sharks when we should be worried for them.' "Sharks Up Close with Bertie Gregory" is coming to National Geographic starting July 5 at 8/7c, and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu. Check local listings.

Buffy Reboot: Charisma Carpenter Hopeful for ‘Poetic' Return After Character's ‘Unjust' End in Spinoff
Despite Cordelia Chase's unfortunate demise in the Buffy spinoff Angel, Charisma Carpenter is game to revive the character in the upcoming Buffy reboot. In June, Sarah Michelle Gellar said her 'dream is to bring back everyone who has died' in Hulu's forthcoming Buffy series. Speaking with IGN, Carpenter threw Cordy's hat into the ring, saying that her return to the series would be 'poetic' after the character's 'unjust' end in Angel's final season. More from TVLine Was Dead City Monologue a Groaner? Is Ironheart's Mom Oddly Chill About 'Resurrected' Friend? Was Disney+'s Frozen Quite Magical? More TV Qs! Sarah Michelle Gellar Wants to Bring Back Every Dead Buffy Character in Reboot - Who Do You Want to Return? Amazon Is Offering Audible for Free - Here's How to Claim the Limited-Time Offer 'I am so excited for fans, and I know it will be fantastic because of who's involved,' the actress said of the project, which is being lead by Gellar and Oscar-winning Nomadland director Chloé Zhao. 'To see this actually happen for the fans makes me thrilled. I am so hopeful to be included, for Cordelia to be a part of this new iteration.' Carpenter was a series regular on Buffy through Season 3. She then crossed over to Angel, but after several seasons, she was written out, only to be killed in a one-off guest-spot in Season 5. 'I don't know really what to make of it,' Carpenter told the publication, in reference to her character now being eligible for a comeback. 'I'm sure there are caveats — Cordelia died on Angel, not on Buffy,' she said. 'I don't know what that means for Cordelia specifically, but I'm hopeful that it includes Cordelia, obviously. It would be a dream to be included, and it would just be so poetic for that to occur, and for it to occur with this group. 'These writers are wildly creative, I'm sure they could figure it out if they wanted to, if it was a fan thing, where if there was a thirst or craving or need for Cordelia to be there. I'm sure with one hell of a creative team they have leading the writers' room, it would be possible.' Buffy's 20 Best Episodes, Ranked! View List Carpenter added: '[Cordelia] was built up so big, she'd grown so much, she'd had this remarkable journey, and for her to go out the way that she did just felt so unjust.' The actress previously returned to the franchise in an Audible spinoff series titled Slayers that starred Carpenter as an alternate universe version of her character, one in which Cordelia was a vampire slayer. That audio-only series reunited the actress with other Buffy alums including Emma Caulfield Ford (Anya), Amber Benson (Tara), Anthony Head (Giles), James Marsters (Spike) and Juliet Landau (Drusilla), but it was cancelled after just one season. Ahead of Slayers' release, Carpenter spoke to TVLine about the injustices Cordelia had faced and how her fate was not at all what the actress had wanted. 'The way that things ended for her was absolutely not what I wanted for that character that I had played, and all the blood, sweat and tears that went into her,' she said. 'And also the life that I personally was living and sacrificing for. To bring this character to life and to have it go the way that it did was like a part of me died. And so to be able to bring this about in this way was the ultimate justice for Cordelia.' The Buffy follow-up was officially announced back in February with Nora Zuckerman and Lilla Zuckerman (Poker Face) attached as writers, showrunners and executive producers. Zhao is attached to direct and executive-produce, with additional EPs including Gellar, Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, Kaz Kuzui and Dolly Parton. (Berman, the Kuzuis and Parton all executive-produced the original series.) Gellar will reprise her former role in a recurring capacity rather than a leading one. In May, Ryan Kiera Armstrong was announced as the series' new slayer. For more of Carpenter's thoughts on both Buffy and Angel, fans can check out her new Patreon podcast, The Bitch Is Back.
