The 8 Most Binge-Worthy Shows to Watch on Hulu

If you haven't yet jumped on the Billy Eichner train, I'm officially beckoning you aboard! This New York City-set series about two struggling comedians, Billy (Billy Eichner) and Julie (Julie Klausner), is relevant, hilarious, and a strangely accurate representation of trying to make it in the city. If Curb Your Enthusiasm and 30 Rock had a cynical love child, this show would be the result.

If the words “Lifetime network original series” don’t pique your interest, UnREAL’s twisting plot just might. Shiri Appleby stars as Rachel, a ruthless yet fragile producer for Everlasting, a reality series that mirrors The Bachelor in all but name. Plagued by the moral dilemmas posed by her career and her own emotional hardships, Rachel immerses herself in her job, often dangerously blurring the line between reality and ratings.

Don’t even get me started on this divine primetime soap. If you haven’t yet embarked on the serial rollercoaster ride that is The O.C., it’s time you take a serious look at your life and make a change. Romance! Embezzlement! Alcoholism! Blackmail! This show has it all — and a healthy dose of humor to boot.

Golden Girls is comfort food for the soul — more like a slice of key lime pie than chicken soup.  If you’ve yet to experience a sick day/week spent bingeing the iconic series, it’s time for you to don your best muumuu and let Rose’s tales of St. Olaf overtake your cynical mind.  

I know, how ‘90s of me. Honestly, though, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more entertaining take on the legal world. It’s weird, it’s ridiculous, it’s so very dated, but there’s something soothing about watching Calista Flockhart at her prime, fighting for justice (with great success) while she balances her turbulent love life and kooky “visions.”  

This Canadian gem follows, well, Erica, as she undergoes an insanely cathartic form of therapy: time travel. The plucky protagonist literally rights her wrongs as she re-lives the biggest regrets of her life. If you’re one to hold on to the past, this show will totally alter your perspective.

Matt Le Blanc stars as, uh, Matt Le Blanc, in this witty Showtime comedy that explores the journey of two British television writers as they find their footing (or rather, don’t) after moving to Hollywood. Though it hasn’t reached the heights of popularity enjoyed by most of the cable network’s beloved series, Episodes shouldn’t be mistaken for inferior.

There are so many reasons to immerse yourself in the world of Luther. 1) It's so incredibly stressful and high-stakes, you'll forget all about your lesser real-world problems. 2) The Affair's Ruth Wilson costars as a lovable, murderous sociopath (it's a thing). 3) IDRIS ELBA. 4) IDRIS ELBA. 5) IDRIS ELBA.
