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.

Missing WWDITS? Watch These Similar Shows
For the first time since 2018, there will be no new season of What We Do in the Shadows. The FX comedy-horror series saw its series finale on Dec 16. The mockumentary following a house of vampires living in Staten "New York Citayyyyyy" was truly one of a kind, and gave us big laughs. Don't be sad because it's over, be happy because it happened! That leaves an open slot for a lot of TV watchers, so if you loved WWDITS, you should check out these other hilarious shows: Wellington Paranormal (2018–2022) If this mockumentary comedy-horror seems very similar to WWDITS, well, that's because it's a spinoff of the What We Do in the Shadows film. Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement are also the brains behind the Minogue and O'Leary (from the original WWDITS movie) lead investigations of supernatural activity in New Zealand. Watch it on Hulu. Reservation Dogs (2021–2023) It's another FX series like WWDITS, co-created by, you guessed it, Taika Waititi. Reservation Dogs is the first American series directed and written entirely by Indigenous people. The humor is very dry, and the punchlines are delivered similarly to the misadventures and struggles of Indigenous teens living in rural it on Hulu. People of Earth (2016–2017) This leans more sci-fi than supernatural, but People of Earth checks all the boxes for ridiculous comedy. Wyatt Cenac, Brian Huskey, and Ana Gasteyer are just a few of the great actors in this hilarious show. A journalist investigates a support group in New York for people who believe aliens abducted it on Prime Video. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005—present) A little raunchier than WWDITS, but if "meme-ability" is your metric of choice, this series is filthy with content. As a sidenote, Danny DeVito would have made an excellent vampire in of a group of friends, called "The Gang," stoop to the lowest of lows inside Paddy's Pub and it on Hulu. Merlin (2008–2012) I think "cheeky" is an appropriate word for Merlin. Although not as direct in the comedy genre as other shows on this list, the spirit of WWDITS is present.A young sorcerer befriends a prince, and the two set off on adventures that mold them into two legendary it on Tubi. Reginald the Vampire (2022–2024) Maybe it's too on the nose because it's a vampiric comedy, but this should definitely be on the radar of any WWDITS fans. Starring Jacob Batalon, the show feels, at the very least, inspired by seeks to be a hero and navigate a world of vampires where his image doesn't quite fit the it on Hulu. Trailer Park Boys (2001–2007 and 2014–2018) Another mockumentary with a lot of raunch and a lot of beer. It's not a one-size-fits-all shoe, but if you like it, you'll love it. It was so loved that Netflix revived the felons document their trailer park it on Netflix. Extraordinary (2023–2024) Vampires technically have powers, so a comedy series like Hulu's Extraordinary might be right up your alley. An ordinary woman lives in a world where everyone else has a it on Hulu. Brassic (2019–2024) A buddy comedy that has that WWDITS feel to it. Which is to say: that wit and lifelong friends face a wedge between them in the form of one of their girlfriends, who is moving it on Hulu. Workaholics (2011–2017) The stoner comedy to end all stoner comedies. It was Adam Devine's big introduction to the world, but Blake Anderson and Anders Holm elevate this trio to legendary work together and live together, never getting a break from each other or their stoner habits and it on Hulu. Our Flag Means Death (2022–2023) Another Taika Waititi work that is as awkward as it is funny. A lot of heart in this one. If you can go into it blind, I highly suggest on the true stories of the "Gentleman Pirate," Stede Bonnet confronts both his mid-life crisis and terrifying pirate waters ruled by the legendary it on HBO Max. The Righteous Gemstones (2019–2025) Danny McBride is an acquired taste, but there is no arguing he has earned the right to say he is one of the funniest creators in TV comedy. This dark comedy has a surprising amount of a televangelist and his entire family's greed and it on HBO Max. Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge (2010–2016) If you've never watched anything by Steve Coogan, he's a genius at dry and witty comedy. His recurring character Alan Partridge will keep you on your feet and give you plenty of belly always awkward Alan Partridge hosts a local radio mid-morning show at North Norfolk Digital, where he fights to deliver relevant and topical it on Prime Video. (This show is not available in the US for streaming.) Abbott Elementary (2021–present) Okay, so this sitcom doesn't exactly scream WWDITS. That said, it's probably the greatest sitcom of the 2020s, so it's worth mentioning if you're looking to watch a comedy.A group of passionate teachers collaborates at a Philadelphia school to help their students and each other overcome the odds stacked against it on Hulu. Which of these series do you think is a suitable replacement for WWDITS? Comment below! Not ready to let go yet? Rewatch WWDITS on Hulu.

Indigenous-led projects are landing hits and winning awards. How are they making inroads?
Cody Lightning is far from alone. First of all, the Edmonton-based creator is surrounded by fellow community members on the set of Smudge the Blades, his upcoming film about hockey, growing up and Indigenous identity. But he's also part of a wave of new Indigenous talent — a raft of creators crafting a host of projects that, Lightning said, is unlike anything he's seen in his 30 years in the industry. "Throughout my adolescent years and teenage years, it was roles that I auditioned for, that were presented to me. And I adapted to that — to someone else's story," he said. "There was, like, one project per year that everyone knew about — everyone was trying to be on those projects. And now we're making our own." Alongside his upcoming film, there are projects running the gamut — from Reservation Dogs, the series about four Indigenous teenagers in Oklahoma that aired for three seasons on FX, to Rutherford Falls, the Michael Greyeyes-starring comedy written by Indigenous comedian Jana Schmieding. And then there are this year's Canadian Screen Awards-nominated titles North of North, Don't Even and Bones of Crows. Those projects are paired with Indigenous talent stepping in front of the camera, from Season 4 of True Detective, to Indigenous stars in series Dark Winds, American Primeval and Alaska Daily. Perhaps most notable is Lily Gladstone, who became the first Indigenous woman to be nominated for a best actress Academy Award — and the first to win a Golden Globe — for her turn in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. As to why we're seeing the swell now, Indigenous filmmaker and actor Jennifer Podemski said there are multiple reasons. The first could be historically laid groundwork. As Podemski has spoken about in the past, Indigenous-led productions often included mentorship programs, designed to train up-and-coming Indigenous creators to be ready to launch their own careers. That, she said, has paired with a shifted lens from decision-makers. Specifically, after the 2020 murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, studios changed how they looked for talent. WATCH | Filmmaker and actor Jennifer Podemski on Indigenous resilience: Filmmaker/Actor Jennifer Podemski on Indigenous resilience 7 months ago Duration 1:46 Filmmaker and veteran actor Jennifer Podemski sat down with Tom Power to discuss her new series, Little Bird, how the story resonates with her own family history and making a production company that tells Indigenous stories with authenticity. "When people are casting for movies, they're more inclined to question ... 'Am I on the right side of history here, or am I perpetuating harmful narratives?'" Podemski said of the shift following Floyd's murder. "People became a little bit more aware of the steps that they were taking, and that's why we were seeing more Indigenous people on screen, maybe, where we wouldn't otherwise have seen them." Centralized source of funding As for the shift behind the camera and north of the border, Podemski credits that more to executive changes — specifically to the Indigenous Screen Office (ISO), which was created in 2017-18. While it began as an advocacy group, in 2021, the ISO began receiving federal funding earmarked for distribution to any Indigenous-led production headed to the screen. Kristy Assu, its director of funding programs, said that outreach has been furthered now that the ISO receives permanent government funding — including about $65 million to be distributed over the next five years. And starting this year, the ISO will administer the Canadian Media Fund's Indigenous Program, which allocates roughly $10 million annually to Indigenous-led productions. That sets up the ISO as a centralized source of funding for Indigenous creators in Canada, which has never happened before, Assu said. As a filmmaker herself, she said the change helps to break down systemic obstacles in the industry: While the Canadian Media Fund's Indigenous Program existed previously, there was "very little to access" — even more so for emerging, unestablished filmmakers, she said. "I think that's why we're seeing this huge surge in [Indigenous] filmmakers," Assu said. "Because there's access to funding now, there's support. People can make a living on being a creative in this industry." As well, with Indigenous people allocating the funding themselves, rather than through an intermediary organization, a more central issue emerges: narrative sovereignty. The term refers to a group able to choose how it's represented — and in a larger sense determine how it's perceived by society at large. That has been an especially entrenched issue in this country; the very concept and word "documentary" was first coined by National Film Board of Canada founder John Grierson in his review of American filmmaker Robert Flaherty's 1926 movie Moana. Both that film and his earlier Inuit-focused Nanook of the North — widely considered to be the first commercially successful documentary — used Indigenous people as their subjects. Particularly in Nanook, Flaherty's work has come under increasing scrutiny for staged scenes and general inaccuracies, with its widespread success continuing to reinforce romanticized and stereotypical aspects of a people who were unable to establish their own identity through film. 'Cost of carelessness' "Because of filmmakers like Flaherty, we've seen the damage wrought by policies built on visual misrepresentation, salvage ethnography, and the lines of ownership that become purposefully blurred by others extracting our own images," Indigenous filmmaker Adam Piron wrote for the International Documentary Association about Nanook. "For Indigenous artists, there's an added weight to engaging with the moving image because we know the cost of carelessness." An entrenched and inaccurate depiction of Indigenous people and their stories, Lightning said, led to decades of period pieces he described as "leathers and feathers" — productions that utilized pop culture ideas of various Indigenous groups, while barring those people from input into how their stories should actually be told. At the same time, there has been consistent pushback, such as Toronto-born Indigenous actor D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, who starred in Reservation Dogs, attending the 2024 Emmy Awards with a red handprint on his face. The makeup was intended to bring attention to missing and murdered Indigenous women, and, according to the organization Native Hope, "the silence of the media and law enforcement in the midst of this crisis." Lightning said that rebellious streak has only increased in recent years. "I want our younger generations in this industry to push boundaries, make people feel a little uncomfortable at times," he said. "That's good. I'm looking forward to that. Those are the filmmakers I wanna see." And while territorial sovereignty — the ability to decide on laws within proscribed borders — is a topic often touched on for Indigenous people in Canada, Podemski said the right and ability to control how, and which, stories are told about them is also of huge importance. As an example, she told the story of how just the day before, a passport agent made an offhand complaint about her getting "stuff for free" after seeing her Indigenous status card — a discriminatory response that a 2022 study by the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs found 99 per cent of Indigenous respondents had experienced. The team behind North of North on making TV magic in the Canadian Arctic 5 months ago Duration 2:49 Actor Anna Lambe and the co-creators of the new CBC co-production North of North talk to the CBC's Eli Glasner about how the Iqaluit community came together to bring the heartwarming comedy to life. Podemski said she spent the next 20 minutes speaking about that stereotype to the agent, who said apologetically that she simply hadn't heard the historical context before. "Afterwards I thought, 'You know what? This is why I do what I do,'" Podemski said. "Because if we take up space on the screen, and if we help people to understand a little bit more about who we are in our own communities and in our own experiences, then maybe they won't write us off as easily as they do."
