The 50 Best TV Shows on Hulu Right Now (June 2024)

The FX series is back with new episodes on Hulu, which means it's also back on top of our list of the best shows on Hulu right now. Nothing is more delicious than watching a show everyone's talking about so you can join in the conversation.

The great Canadian comedy Shoresy just released its third season, perfect for everyone who's a fan of hockey or bawdy jokes; for even more sports, check out Clipped, the story of the absurd scandal that led to the ouster of Los Angeles Clippers' racist former owner Donald Sterling. Other shows we've added to our list lately include Riley Keough and Lily Gladstone's limited series Under the Bridge and the stellar FX drama Shōgun.

There's a method to our madness when it comes to our picks for this list. Our selections are focused on new releases, original shows from Hulu and FX, and critical hits you can't stream anywhere else, as well as a handful of underrated favorites you might not find on other lists. These are the best shows to watch on Hulu right now.

Last updated July 2; newer additions are at the top.

The Bear

Shameless's Jeremy Allen White heads back to Chicago in this dark dramedy set at the Original Beef of Chicagoland, a flailing, old-school sandwich joint. White plays Carmy, an experienced chef with a background in French cooking who is left in charge of the restaurant after the death of his brother. The series moves at a breakneck pace and operates at an Uncut Gemsian stress level as Carmy's attempts to rehabilitate the Original Beef's kitchen and keep the business afloat are met with hostility from the staff, but it's also a thoughtfully messy exploration of grief, capitalism, and fractured family dynamics. Season 3 is out now. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Shoresy

Shoresy creator, star, and bona fide TV genius Jared Keeso took the formula he crafted that made Letterkenny so popular and applied it to a serialized comedy about a bunch of hockey doofuses in northern Canada that shows the true love of sport and team camaraderie better than any sports comedy before it (looking right through you, Ted Lasso). There aren't many shows that can start with gags about taking a crap in a lake (an "aquadump," in the show's parlance) and then leave you bawling as an epic season on the rink comes to a close. All of Shoresy's juvenile humor wouldn't mean much without what truly scores for Shoresy: the unfettered appreciation of emotion, whether it be the anticipation of the drop of the puck, the adrenaline of an on-ice brawl, or the swell of a town rallying around a squad of toothless goons. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

Clipped

Ten years ago, the Los Angeles Clippers were having their best season ever when a recording emerged of the team's owner, Donald Sterling, making some brazenly racist comments to his Black mistress. The recording eventually led the NBA to force Sterling to sell the team to current owner Steve Ballmer. But the details of the scandal were a lot wilder than that summary might make it sound, which is why FX thought it made sense to make a show about it. While Clipped doesn't have quite the same light tone as HBO's Winning Time, it hits the sweet spot in a similar way — we just don't get enough "based on a true story" things about the NBA. And with Ed O'Neill as Sterling, Jacki Weaver as Sterling's wife, and Laurence Fishburne as Clippers coach Doc Rivers, this cast certainly delivers. -Phil Owen [Trailer]

Welcome to Wrexham

If Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were both real-life Ted Lassos, but they were the owners instead of the coach — so basically, if they were both Rebecca Welton — the documentary about them would be Welcome to Wrexham. This FX docuseries follows Reynolds and McElhenney's purchase of a struggling Welsh football club, Wrexham A.F.C., in 2020, and their thus-far-successful attempts to turn its fortunes around while learning the ropes. With Wrexham earning promotion again this year, Season 3 should be quite a trip. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Line of Duty

This British cop drama, which premiered in 2012, is all about an anti-corruption unit aimed at rooting out dirty police, and it's the show's commitment to detail and its noir-like mystery structure that make it worth your time. Each season begins with a seemingly simple investigation that is slowly unraveled over a half-dozen episodes into some kind of conspiracy — and like The Shield did so brilliantly a decade earlier, Line of Duty remembers every old story thread and resurfaces that baggage whenever possible. -Phil Owen [Trailer]

Under the Bridge

Under the Bridge is a based-on-a-true-story limited series about Reena Virk, a 14-year-old Indian-Canadian girl who was murdered by a group of her schoolmates in British Columbia in 1997. In real life, the situation sparked a moral panic about kids these days being more savage than they used to be, but the truth was always a lot more complex than that. This series stars Lily Gladstone as a local cop and Riley Keough as a local writer, and as the two uncover the truth about Reena's death and life, things get intense in ways you'd never expect. -Phil Owen [Trailer]

We Were the Lucky Ones

Based on the bestselling novel by Georgia Hunter and inspired by the true story of the author's family, this historical limited series follows a Polish Jewish family separated at the start of World War II as they struggle against the odds to survive and reunite. Joey King and Logan Lerman star as siblings Halina and Addy Kurc; Lerman's character, Addy, a composer, is based on Hunter's grandfather. The subject matter is heavy, but King said at the Television Critics Association winter press tour that this Holocaust drama is ultimately optimistic, explaining, "It deals with a lot of pain and suffering and sadness, but there is a lot of hope in this show." Erica Lipez, executive producer of Max's Julia and Apple TV+'s The Morning Show, serves as showrunner; Hamilton and Fosse/Verdon director Thomas Kail directs. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Shōgun

The novel Shōgun, by James Clavell, is a classic for a reason, and FX's big-budget adaptation of this story of violent political intrigue in feudal Japan — led by the always-excellent Hiroyuki Sanada as Lord Yoshii Toranaga — has both the support from the bosses and the vision from co-creators Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks to deliver a series that's more than worthy of the name. While FX has never quite had the clout or prestige of HBO — though we all know its shows are on par — Shōgun is just the latest great FX series to demonstrate that you can get pay cable quality from a basic cable network. -Phil Owen [Trailer]

Extraordinary

Somehow among the glut of superhero shows, Emma Moran has created a comedy about people with superpowers with a unique twist: In a world where everyone gets suped up on their 18th birthday, 25-year-old Jen (Máiréad Tyers) still has yet to discover her superpower, leaving her feeling left out and cranky. But with the help of her friend Carrie (Sofia Oxenham), who can channel the dead, and a cat named Jizzlord, she navigates the professional and romantic life of a powerless Gen Z-er. Extraordinary is the fresh, funny face of a generation that can't be bothered, and Tyers and Oxenham are absolutely delightful. Hulu hasn't really promoted this one at all, for some reason, and that was a huge mistake. Seek out this gem immediately! -Tim Surette [Trailer]

Echo

In 2021, Hawkeye introduced the world to Alaqua Cox, who made her acting debut as Maya Lopez — also known as the superhero Echo. Now, Cox, who is deaf and Native American, like her character, is starring in a series focused on Maya's origin story. Echo was released at a bit of a weird moment for the franchise, as it's one of only two MCU projects slated for 2024 (Deadpool 3 is the other), but that probably works to Echo's benefit, since it doesn't have quite as much baggage as Marvel shows usually have. Echo also features Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, Devery Jacobs, and Cody Lightning, and it brings back Vincent D'Onofrio as the Kingpin, Maya's former boss, whom she previously shot in the face. -Phil Owen and Kat Moon [Trailer]

Letterkenny

Canada is well known for its feel-good comedies like Schitt's Creek and Kim's Convenience, in which characters grow and learn lessons about life through their experiences with each other. Letterkenny is not that. The cult comedy about a small Canadian town full of hicks, tweakers, hockey players, burly natives, and not much else is mostly conversations about genitalia, drinking, fighting, and whatever else goes on inside the minds of these Canucks, but don't let the subject matter fool you. Letterkenny, which has now wrapped up with its twelfth and final season, is one of the smartest shows around, with rapid-fire dialogue and wordplay that's essentially Shakespeare on speedballs. You'll be quoting this show nonstop to your friends after one episode. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

Such Brave Girls

"Mom, she's talking about her mental health again" is just one of the life-denying quips you'll find in this British A24-produced comedy from creator and star Kat Sadler. Let's hear how she describes the series: "I wish I could say this is a heartwarming show about overcoming trauma, but that would be a lie. It's about three toxic, damaged egomaniacs manipulating the world and each other for their own personal gain, vengeance, and glory… just like in Little Women." Sadler stars as a young woman who lives with her sister and single mother in what could be described as a dysfunctional relationship where bad decisions and disaster wait around each corner while depression, threats of suicide, and taking advantage of abandonment are embraced. It's also blisteringly funny. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

A Murder at the End of the World

The OA creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij return to television — plenty of fans would already be sold if this paragraph ended there — with this FX-produced limited series, a murder mystery with an Agatha Christie-style title, though the detective at its center is entirely modern. Darby Hart (The Crown's Emma Corrin) is a Gen Z sleuth and hacker who's invited by a reclusive billionaire (Clive Owen) to a remote retreat with eight other guests. Would you believe one of them turns up dead? -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Only Murders in the Building

Only Murders in the Building is at the center of an unlikely but wonderful Venn Diagram. It's got sleuthing, Steve Martin and Martin Short, Selena Gomez, jokes about podcasts, fake Broadway musical flops, and Sting. The comedy-crime-farce hybrid follows a trio of neighbors — an actor with one long-ago TV hit (Martin), a washed-up Broadway director (Short), and an enigmatic artist (Gomez) — who come together to investigate murders in their building. It's an old-school mystery about three lonely people with secrets that gets both deeper and sillier as it goes. And cast list keeps ballooning with big names, including recent additions like Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Reservation Dogs

Now that it's ended, it's official: Reservation Dogs is one of the best TV series of this decade. The teens at its center (played by D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Devery Jacobs, Paulina Alexis, and Lane Factor) begin the show looking for a way out of their rural Oklahoma reservation after the death of their friend. But what stars as a chill hangout comedy about friends getting into scrapes turns into a deep examination of community, trauma, and healing — without sacrificing its clever sense of humor or its vibrant pop culture homages. Created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, Reservation Dogs is brought to the screen by an all-Indigenous lineup of writers, directors, and stars, who build an authentic world that feels loved and lived-in from the start. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

This Fool

Comedian Chris Estrada plays a 30-year-old man who isn't in any rush to grow up; he still lives at home with his parents in South Central Los Angeles, he's more than happy to avoid any confrontation with the gang members in his neighborhood, and he works at a gang rehabilitation non-profit called Hugs Not Thugs with his streetwise cousin, Luis (Frankie Quiñones), who just got out of jail. If that's not enough to pique your interest, the always welcome and incredibly funny Michael Imperioli appears as the program's founder, and Matt Ingebretson, Pat Bishop, and Jake Weisman, the trio behind the cult hit Corporate, co-created the series with Estrada. In Season 2, the show's last, Julio and Luis embark on a new venture: coffee. Wait, coffee? -Tim Surette [Trailer]

What We Do in the Shadows

Think about some of the greatest hangout comedies of all time, with roommates and their disparate personalities clashing in close quarters. Now make them vampires. That sounds like a doomed concept that will run out of jokes before the first virgin can be sucked dry, but it's working for What We Do in the Shadows, one of the best comedies on TV right now. The mockumentary follows three bloodsuckers, their human familiar, and a being so boring that he drains the life out of others as they cope with a technologically advanced world that fears them and is fascinated by them. It's like a goth kid's Seinfeld. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the highest form of escapist humor on TV, like if the average person's id was in control of a long-running cable comedy. Following the daily lives of a morally bankrupt, self-absorbed, clinically insane, often irredeemable foursome who own and operate a bar in Philadelphia, Sunny is the kind of series that delights in refusing to let its characters grow as people. As a unit, the gang has only succeeded in becoming more narcissistic and clueless to the world around them as the seasons have stretched on. They continue to behave terribly and never learn from their mistakes… but in a really funny way, thanks to the beauty of the 30-minute sitcom format, which allows the show to blow itself up every week and reset the clock in the next episode. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

The Great

The Great is Hulu's most visually exquisite comedy series, and if you like admiring period costumes and production design, that should get you in the door. But you'll stay for the witty writing from creator Tony McNamara — an Oscar nominee for co-writing the screenplay for The Favourite, a movie The Great is very much like — and for the charismatic performances from stars Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult. Season 3, the show's last, finds Catherine the Great (Fanning) expanding her power beyond the borders and Peter (Hoult) trying to fill his time with hobbies that don't involve him getting murdered. The Great knowingly and openly plays fast and loose with the historical record, which allows for maximum drama and delightfully anachronistic humor. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Taste the Nation With Padma Lakshmi

Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi is a trustworthy successor to Anthony Bourdain in her travel docuseries about cuisine across the United States. This show is so much more than a chance to watch in abject jealousy as Lakshmi eats delicious-looking food; its edge lies in its celebration of the cultures that have helped define American food. In Season 2, Lakshmi highlights Puerto Rican food, Appalachian cuisine, Fililpino grub, and more. This is the kind of show that examines all the ways food brings us together but also looks at the ways food has been weaponized against the people who brought it here in the first place. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

A Small Light

This National Geographic limited series is based on the true story of Miep Gies, a Dutch woman who, along with her husband Jan, helped hide the Frank, van Pels, and Pfeffer families from the Nazis during World War II. The eight-part series, which you can also watch on Disney+, stars Bel Powley as Gies, Liev Schreiber as Otto Frank, and Billie Boullet as Anne Frank. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

Dave

If you're like me, you watched a couple of episodes of Dave and got turned off by all the sophomoric dick jokes and gave up. But then you heard it got better, so you watched a bit more, and sure enough, it did. By the first season finale, you thought to yourself, "Damn, this IS a good show." And the series has only gotten better as it's gone on. Dave and Dave — the show and the neurotic rapper who is simultaneously self-shaming and extremely cocky — both grow on you, even with all the bumps along the road. Few shows cover the artistic process and its frequent collision with being a likable human like Dave, because it knows that the two are at odds with each other. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

UnPrisoned

Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo (what a combo!) star in this touching comedy about a woman (Washington) who welcomes her father (Lindo) back into her life and into her house to live with her and her teenage son (Faly Rakotohavana) after he's released from prison. It's a dysfunctional family sitcom, while also touching on the problems of the industrial prison complex. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

Fleishman Is in Trouble 

Based on Taffy Brodesser-Akner's 2019 novel of the same name, Fleishman Is in Trouble is a biting, slow-burning divorce dramedy about unreliable narrators, getting older, and the paths life takes us down. Jesse Eisenberg stars as Toby Fleishman, a recently divorced liver doctor whose new experimentation with the New York City dating scene is complicated when his ex-wife (Claire Danes) drops their two children off at his home without warning and promptly disappears. You might be tempted to believe you know where this story is headed, but we recommend sticking with it. It's funny, sad, and special. -Allison Picurro [Trailer | Review]

Schitt's Creek 

The comedy that's one of the biggest beneficiaries of the "Netflix bump" is now on Hulu. Schitt's Creek, the closest thing TV has to a warm blanket, aired on CBC and Pop TV from 2015 to 2020 and follows the Rose family as they see their massive fortune dwindle, forcing them to relocate to the small Ontario town of Schitt's Creek. Though its early seasons aired quietly, it became a massive hit in its later seasons and smashed Emmy records when it won all seven major comedy awards in 2020, including acting wins for stars Dan Levy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, and Annie Murphy. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

Ramy 

Ramy, Ramy Youssef's semi-autobiographical dramedy, stars Youssef as Ramy Hassan, a first-generation Egyptian American man-boy living with his family in New Jersey. Ramy is in a perpetual war with himself, unable to find the balance between becoming what he believes to be a "good Muslim" and doing the things a lot of American twentysomethings do, like dating and partying. It's an insightful and heartfelt look at faith, family, and how being a dirtbag won't actually get you very far in life. -Allison Picurro [Trailer] 

Abbott Elementary 

Abbot Elementary is a mockumentary in the vein of The Office or Parks and Recreation about an underfunded public elementary school in Philadelphia, where the teachers try to provide for their students as best they can without getting burnt out by the lack of resources, respect, or administrative support, not to mention the difficulty of the job itself. Each week, idealistic second grade teacher Janine Teagues (series creator Quinta Brunson) tries to go above and beyond the call of duty, with alternately triumphant or humbling results. The show has a sweet-and-salty sense of humor and a cast of characters who feel like people who could actually exist in real life. We've all relied on commiseration with competent coworkers to help us endure bad bosses like Ava Coleman, the preening and vindictive principal hilariously played by Janelle James. In 2022, we called Abbott Elementary the best show on TV or a reason, and now we even have some well-deserved Emmy wins to back us up. -Liam Mathews [Trailer] 

Atlanta

I'm not the only Atlanta fan who was underwhelmed by Season 3, the weakest of Donald Glover's comedy's otherwise stellar run. But its fourth and final season is still a must-watch for anyone curious about how such a provocative series is going wrap things up. It haded back to Atlanta, thankfully, after Season 3 sent the characters to Europe, forcing Earn (Glover), Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry), Darius (LaKeith Stanfield), and Van (Zazie Beetz) to reckon with the ways they, and their hometown, changed in their absence. -Allison Picurro [Trailer] 

The Handmaid's Tale

Who needs escapism when you can have the least escapist show on TV? The Handmaid's Tale has developed a reputation for being a huge downer as real life has inched closer to life in Gilead, the totalitarian theocracy the series imagines as the future of America. But the refusal to offer easy relief can be cathartic in its own way, and The Handmaid's Tale's one-step-forward, two-steps-back revolution makes every rare moment of real progress hit harder. Over the span of the series, June (Elisabeth Moss) has gone from trying to survive in Gilead to fanning the flames of rebellion — and potentially getting a little too caught up in her quest for revenge. Blessed be the hashtag resistance. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

The Patient

The genius team behind The Americans, Joe Weisberg and Joe Fields, is now the genius team behind The Patient, an FX-produced psychological thriller miniseries starring Steve Carrell as a therapist who is taken hostage by a serial killer (Domhnall Gleeson), who wants to curb his homicidal urges through therapy. The first step toward not murdering people is admitting you have a problem. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

The Americans

One of the best TV shows of the last decade, The Americans stars Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell as Soviet spies living undercover as Americans in Virginia in the 1980s during the height of the Cold War, while raising their none-the-wiser children as regular Americans and befriending the FBI agent (Noah Emmerich) who lives next door. It only won four Emmys during its six-season run, but it should have won about 20 more. It's near-perfect television, with one of the best series finales of all time. -Tim Surette [Trailer]     

Under the Banner of Heaven

It's always Andrew Garfield season around here. Under the Banner of Heaven, inspired by John Krakauer's 2003 true crime book, stars Garfield as a detective investigating the 1984 murder of a woman (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her baby in suburban Utah. His own Mormon faith is tested as the case leads him to uncover dark secrets about the Church of LDS. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

American Crime Story

Ryan Murphy's oeuvre at FX moved from Netflix to Hulu in early March 2022, making Hulu the exclusive streaming home for his award-winning anthological takes on true crime. Arguably the best work he's ever produced is Season 1 of American Crime Story, a sharp re-examination of the O.J. Simpson murder trial that starred Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson, John Travolta as Robert Shapiro, Murphy mainstay Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark, Sterling K. Brown as Christopher Darden, and more. Other seasons weren't as well received, but are still worth checking out; Season 2 looks at the murder of fashion icon Gianni Versace and Season 3 digs into the Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton affair. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

Pose

How wrong we were to believe we'd seen a full, three-dimensional representation of the LGBTQ community on TV before Posearrived in 2018. The FX series, set decades ago in the New York City ballroom community, has served to show us how much we don't know and haven't seen. In this heartwarming and often hilarious drama, the trans women who started the ballroom scene — the scene that's made Black/Latinx gay lingo like "slay," "read," and "spill the tea" mainstream — get their due, making them the subject of the story instead of the afterthoughts. Through characters Blanca (Mj Rodriguez), Elektra (Dominique Jackson), Angel (Indya Moore), and Pray Tell (Billy Porter), we befriend queer people of color who've banded together for survival, for love, and the pursuit of happiness. It's radical for humanizing trans people and portraying their unique experiences with compassion, but it shouldn't be: It's fundamentally an engrossing, uplifting show stuffed with drama and heart. Consider it essential viewing. –Malcolm Venable [Trailer]

Better Things

For five seasons, Pamela Adlon's bittersweet comedy was the most human show on TV by a mile. It's all because Better Things, following the daily life of Sam Fox (Adlon), a single mother of three and a working actor, found the joy in celebrating the mundanity of existence. From its lovingly shot cooking scenes to the casual way it examines the daily sacrifices parents make for their kids, this is a show about the little moments that make us who we are and make life worth living. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

PEN15

When PEN15 premiered in 2019, it got a lot of attention for its big gimmick: Co-creators Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle, adult women in their 30s, star as middle school-aged versions of themselves, surrounded by a cast of actual 13-year-olds. But that gimmick is only one of the reasons to keep watching. To be in middle school is to exist in a waking nightmare, and it's clear in everything, from their caved-in posture to the awkward expressions on their faces, that Erskine and Konkle remember that. PEN15 has put Maya and Anna through the trials and tribulations of sleepovers, pool parties, and first kisses. They practice witchcraft. They play team sports. They join the school play. Every TV show wants to make you feel something, but PEN15 burrows down inside you, sticks to your bones, and makes sure you never forget the things it shows you, much like adolescence. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Godfather of Harlem

Forest Whitaker stars as the titular crime boss Bumpy Johnson in this thrilling MGM+ historical crime drama based on real people. The violent series from Narcos creator Chris Brancato follows Johnson as he returns home from a long prison sentence and finds that his Harlem kingdom has been overtaken by the Genovese family. So Bumpy has to go to war with the Italians to take back what he feels is his. To do so, he allies with Malcolm X (Nigel Thatch), whose ascent to a place of political and social influence Bumpy assists and complicates. The show plays fast and loose with the historical record, but that creates room for Bumpy to interact with historical figures played by great character actors, including Vincent "The Chin" Gigante (Vincent D'Onofrio), Joe Bonanno (Chazz Palminteri), and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (Giancarlo Esposito). -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Dopesick

Michael Keaton, Rosario Dawson, and Kaitlyn Dever star in this devastating miniseries adaptation of Beth Macy's Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors and the Drug Company that Addicted America, which looks at the beginning of the opioid crisis in America from the push of OxyContin by one company to its spread through the working class, to the DEA's pursuit of the truth. Is it a feel-good story? Not really, but it's a fascinating look at the audacity of Big Pharma to put profits over life. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

This Way Up

In a perfect world, someday we'll talk about This Way Up with as much reverence as we talk about Fleabag. Created by and starring Aisling Bea, the dark comedy begins in the aftermath of a depressive episode; when we meet Áine (Bea) at the beginning of Season 1, she's recently out of rehab for "a teeny little nervous breakdown." The comedy and the tragedy of the show comes out of Áine's interactions with the people in her life — the ways she tries to keep the depths of her suffering from her protective older sister, Shona (Sharon Horgan); her fledgling, potentially romantic connection with Richard (Tobias Menzies); and her tragic friendship with Tom (Ricky Grover). It's a snapshot of a life in the process of being rebuilt, of what it's like to not simply ignore but actually live with mental illness. It's messy and chaotic and hilarious in all the best ways. You will also absolutely walk away with "Zombie" by the Cranberries stuck in your head, and that's part of the charm. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers is one of the best family comedies, not to mention one of the best comedies about working-class characters, on TV right now. The Fox sitcom follows the Belcher family, whose burger restaurant is an all-hands-on-deck job that even the kids get roped into. The show is straightforward about their constant financial stress, which leads to some of the family's best hijinks but also highlights how hard they work to care for each other. Parents Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda (John Roberts) have an enviably healthy marriage, and each Belcher kid is encouraged to be as delightfully weird as they want. Bob's also serves up some of the best puns in the game. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Devs

After movies like Ex Machina and Annihilation, Alex Garland is proving to be one of sci-fi's most exciting creators, and his TV debut features all his trademarks. Devs is packed with philosophy and intellectual discussions about existence, technology's place in society's advancement, and the dire consequences of tinkering with fate, almost to the point that it's too cerebral. But take it slow and you'll find a beautifully filmed single-season series that has big points to make about the dangerous precipice advanced computing has us inching toward. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

The Eric Andre Show

It's hard to describe The Eric Andre Show in a way that makes any kind of sense. Presented in the style of low-budget public access TV, it could technically be called a talk show. It's hosted by noted purveyor of chaos Eric Andre, who plays a hyper-fictionalized version of himself, and he's joined by his detached co-host/straight man, Hannibal Burress. Every episode begins with Andre violently destroying his set, and his eventual monologue usually spirals into a series of dark musings dragged out from the depths of his mind. He invites celebrities, who are sometimes real and sometimes intentionally bad impersonators, into the mess. The guests typically come in blissfully unaware of what is about to happen to them, which is clear from their often shocked, furious, and terrified faces. Andre's host spares no one and never acknowledges that anything is out of the ordinary, even as things get progressively more bizarre, like the time live rats were released on Stacey Dash's feet. This show is definitely not for everyone, but I can guarantee is that it's not like anything else you'll ever watch. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

The Mary Tyler Moore Show

One of the greatest sitcoms of all time, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is so packed with first-rate funny people that it launched three spin-offs: Valerie Harper's Rhoda, Cloris Leachman's Phyllis, and Ed Asner's Lou Grant. But the heart of the classic comedy series is Mary Tyler Moore's Mary Richards, who's "making it after all" as a producer at a low-rated Minneapolis news station. As an unmarried woman focused on her career, Mary was a rarity on television, opening doors for women who came after. Still, being groundbreaking was never the only thing that made The Mary Tyler Moore Show — or Mary Richards — great. The show has endured because it's laugh-out-loud hilarious, the story of coworkers who unexpectedly begin to cherish each other. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Fargo

Noah Hawley's comical crime anthology series based on the vibes of the Coen Brothers is set in and around the titular Midwestern city across various decades, multiple crime families, and multitudes of bad luck. But what's always consistent — besides the accent and the incredible character names — is the quality of the casts, which have included Jean Smart, Ewan McGregor, Billy Bob Thornton, Chris Rock, Martin Freeman, Juno Temple, Jon Hamm, and many more. Seasons 1 and 2 are the show at its best — violent, hilarious, and thematically off-the-wall — and Season 5 is a return to form. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

High Fidelity

A televised adaptation of the 2000 film of the same name, High Fidelity finds Zoë Kravitz stepping into the role of disaffected record store owner Rob, previously played by John Cusack. The show has a "no thoughts, just vibes" energy, but the conflict hinges on Rob's top five greatest heartbreaks of all time, which she's still in the process of getting over when we meet her. Kravitz makes the updated version of the sardonic record store owner her own, breaking the fourth wall to talk to the audience, allowing us to gaze upon the rich tapestry of her failed relationships, her veil of detachment cracking into something much more vulnerable with each episode. As Rob, she's dry, witty, and effortlessly cool, inviting us to share her skepticism of the mere concept of love. While it's a shame Hulu cut High Fidelity short after a truly great first season, you shouldn't let that deter you from checking out this gem of a series. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Freaks and Geeks

It's always a big deal when Freaks and Geeks, the short-lived cult-classic dramedy that aired on NBC from 1999-2000, returns to streaming after a stay in DVD-only exile. What's even more exciting is that Hulu shilled out the cash to keep its original classic rock soundtrack fully intact, meaning fans can jam out while watching Lindsay Weir (Linda Cardellini) and her slacker pals navigate high school in 1980, just as creator Paul Feig intended. Freaks and Geeks' cast — which also includes Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Busy Philipps, John Francis Daley, James Franco, and Martin Starr — makes it the ultimate "before they were famous" throwback. Plus it's just brilliant. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Justified and Justified: City Primeval

One of Elmore Leonard's literary characters became television legend with FX's Justified, arguably the best adaptation of Leonard's work on any screen. U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, brought sexily to life by the sexy Timothy Olyphant, watches over the backwoods of Harlan County in Kentucky, cutting down fugitives with firepower and insults, both of which bad guys never recover from. It has the best dialogue of any TV show ever (my opinion), with poetic prose Leonard himself would chuckle at, and a rotating cast of criminals with more personality than most shows' main characters. Also, Walton Goggins! As an added bonus, Olyphant kindly dusted off his big ol' hat for the limited series spin-off City Primeval, which finds Raylan facing off with a violent criminal called the Oklahoma Wildman (Boyd Holbrook) in Detroit. Most comebacks don't work out well, but this one was very welcome. -Tim Surette and Allison Picurro [Justified Trailer] [City Primeval Trailer]

Casual

Plenty of shows have a lot to say about "the times we live in," but unlike many other shows trying to do exactly that, Casual does it with deft care. Tommy Dewey and Michaela Watkins star as siblings Alex and Valerie, who end up raising Valerie's teenage daughter together, all while trying to navigate the dating world. At the start of the series, Valerie has recently divorced her husband, Alex has committed to life as a bachelor, and Tara Lynne Barr's Laura is just trying to make it through high school in one piece. All three have romantic obstacles to overcome and various hang-ups to deal with, and the world of social media dating doesn't make it any easier. It's an excellent show that came onto the scene around the same time as other shows about people in California being sad, like You're the Worst and Transparent, so it never really got the recognition it so deeply deserved, which is exactly why it deserves your attention now. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Superstore

For six seasons, Superstore was one of network TV's hidden treasures, a sweet, clever comedy with a surprising rebellious streak. The show uses its setting in a Midwestern box store to dig into issues like unionizing, healthcare, and immigration that rarely get this kind of coverage on television, especially network sitcoms. These aren't Very Special Episodes: They're just facts of life for the show's characters, so the topical storylines feel as natural as the jokes. But while Superstore may be honest, it's the furthest thing from a drag; it's also got cute workplace romances and a perfectly weird sense of humor. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

Mrs. America

Cate Blanchett! That's all you really need to know, but we'll tell you the rest anyway. The stylish FX on Hulu historical drama Mrs. America looks back on the battle for the Equal Rights Amendment of the early 1970s. Blanchett plays Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative author who fought back against the ERA, making her the show's charismatic antihero. The all-star cast also features Rose Byrne, Uzo Aduba, and Sarah Paulson. -Tim Surette [Trailer]
