Even without original shows, Hulu has one of the best TV streaming libraries for movies, documentaries, and shows. The streaming service hosts plenty of classic shows that fans of TV history will love to dive into, but thatโs not the only thing that Hulu has to offer. Much like Netflix, Hulu has branched into original programming in recent years, and some of its shows have been enormous successes both critically and with the serviceโs subscribers.
The shows that Hulu has created run the gamut from high-minded literary adaptations to wild comedies. Thereโs something for everyone on the streaming service, and thatโs part of its appeal. It may not have the brand recognition of something like Netflix, but Hulu has plenty of worthwhile content.
