Parasite
Here’s good news for individuals who didn’t catch Bong Joon-Ho’s Parasite in theaters: you can now stream the award-winning thriller on Hulu. A winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, this South Korean film provides biting social commentary on the disparity between the haves and have-nots via a unique tale involving two families, as well as a few unexpected twists and turns.
What We Do in the Shadows
Based on Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s 2014 film What We Do in the Shadows, this FX mockumentary offers a hilarious peek into the lives of four vampires who have been housemates for hundreds of years. Just like their mortal counterparts, they squabble over their shared space and struggle to tolerate one another’s quirks. Catch up on season one in prep for the band of bloodsuckers’ return for season two that started on April 16.
Mrs. America
Set in the ’70s, this nine-part limited miniseries tells the true story of the battle to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. An all-star cast sees Rose Byrne taking on the role of feminist icon Gloria Steinem and Academy- Award winner Cate Blanchett portraying Phyllis Schlafly, the conservative who led the backlash against ratifying the amendment. The FX on Hulu series started to drop on April 15.
Abominable
On the hunt for feel-good, family friendly fare? Look no further than Abominable, an aminated animated feature about a girl named Yi, who stumbles upon a young yeti on the rooftop of her family’s Shanghai apartment. She names him Everest and embarks on a journey with her friends to return him home to—where else?—Mount Everest. The fluffy-haired Everest delivers peak cuteness throughout the film, which ultimately delivers a tale about the importance of family and friends. Co-produced by Pearl Studios and DreamWorks Animation, it’s the perfect choice for cuddling up on the couch with the kiddos.
Married at First Sight
If you plowed your way through Love Is Blind and find yourself suffering from wacky reality show withdrawals, we’ve got the perfect show for you. Just like the popular Netflix dating series, Married at First Sight sends singles who have never seen each other down the aisle. Plus, Love Is Blind showrunner Chris Coelen executive produces the show, so you can expect this series to be similarly addictive. Say “I do” to six seasons of Married at First Sight that are currently streaming on Hulu.
Little Fires Everywhere
Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington star in this Hulu Original series based on Celeste Ng’s bestselling Little Fires Everywhere. When Mia Warren and her daughter, Pearl, land in Shaker Heights, they shake things up for the local Richardson family. As the families’ lives become intertwined, it’s clear that tensions about race, motherhood and class grow. What’s not so clear is who set fire to the Richardson’s home in the series’ opening scene. Catch new episodes every Wednesday or binge the entire series.
Chopped
Quarantine cooking calls for creativity in the kitchen, so why not turn to Chopped for a little inspiration? The classic Food Network competition presents chefs with a basket of mystery ingredients—typically an unusual mix—that they must then use to create an appetizer, entrée and dessert. Time restrictions during each round add a dash of drama as contestants rush to complete their dishes before presenting them to a panel of judges.
