3 overlooked TV series on Hulu that you should binge-watch this weekend (June 5-7)

      This weekend, we highlight three Hulu shows that demonstrate that the finest TV series don't always create the most buzz. Featuring a contract killer who elicits both laughter and discomfort, a Silicon Valley thriller that aims to challenge your mind, and a 90s mystery that keeps evolving—each is deserving of your attention.

      Additionally, we have curated guides to the top new movies available for streaming, the best films on Netflix, the finest offerings on Hulu, the top free movies, and the best selections on Amazon Prime Video.

      **Mr. Inbetween (2018–2021)**

      **Genre:** Dark Comedy, Crime, Drama

      **IMDB rating:** 8.7/10

      **Rotten Tomatoes (critics):** 95%

      Ray Shoesmith is a contract killer residing in Sydney, but he is also a dedicated father, a trustworthy friend, and an unexpectedly considerate boyfriend. This Australian dark comedy series chronicles Ray’s attempts to manage the everyday chaos of family life alongside the extraordinary demands of his profession as a hitman.

      Scott Ryan, who both created the series and portrays Ray, writes dialogue filled with dry humor. Each episode is roughly 25 minutes long, making it highly binge-worthy on Hulu. I appreciate how the show refrains from explaining or justifying Ray’s actions, allowing viewers to grapple with the contradiction of finding sympathy for someone who commits heinous acts for a living.

      **Devs (2020)**

      **Genre:** Sci-fi, Mystery, Thriller

      **IMDB rating:** 7.6/10

      **Rotten Tomatoes (critics):** 84%

      When a young software engineer's boyfriend dies under mysterious circumstances at her Silicon Valley company, she begins to uncover a reality that's far stranger than simply corporate wrongdoing. Alex Garland, the writer-director known for Ex Machina and Annihilation, wrote and directed every episode of this eight-part miniseries.

      Devs is rich, philosophical, and visually distinct from typical TV series. It delves into themes of free will, quantum mechanics, and the implications of foreseeing the future with a seriousness that requires your full engagement. I admire how the show uses the stark architecture of Silicon Valley to explore timeless questions.

      You can watch Devs on Hulu.

      **Cruel Summer (2021)**

      **Genre:** Mystery, Thriller, Drama

      **IMDB rating:** 7.4/10

      **Rotten Tomatoes (critics):** 94%

      Taking place over three consecutive summers in a small Texas town during the 1990s, Cruel Summer follows two teenage girls whose lives become violently intertwined after one disappears. Each episode revisits the same date across 1993, 1994, and 1995, showcasing how identical events can appear drastically different based on perspective.

      Chiara Aurelia and Olivia Holt deliver compelling performances, anchoring the show through its shifting alliances and unreliable timelines. The 90s backdrop evokes a specific sense of nostalgia, and I appreciate how the structure compels you to continuously reassess your understanding of both characters before the episode concludes.
