Guilty pleasure: Finding a show on either Netflix or Hulu and watching the entire series in a week or two. It’s me. I can’t deny it. Lucas and I have tried watching TV show series together and I always finish before him because if it’s good, I have to know what happens next. Luckily, he doesn’t hold it against me.
I often see people sharing Netflix recommendations on social media, but it generally the same series you can find on your streaming app’s home page. While I like to watch a lot of the popular shows, I also like to watch the hidden gems that don’t always show up in the trending section.
Hulu and Netflix have been the streaming services I have had for years. While Netflix is probably my favorite and is more convenient for binge-watching, there are some fantastic shows exclusively on Hulu. Hulu is also great if you want to watch the latest season of a TV show you originally started watching on Netflix.
I’ve shared all of my recommendations with you below of TV shows I have watched and consider binge-worthy. I’m also sharing what’s next on my list for both Hulu & Netflix!
- Good Girls (Season 3 on Hulu, Seasons 1-2 on Netflix)
- How to Get Away With Murder (Season 6 on Hulu, Seasons 1-5 on Netflix)
- Little Fires Everywhere
- Manifest
- Marvel Runaways
- Nashville
- Songland
- Station 19
- The Good Doctor
- The Good Place (Season 4 on Hulu, Season 1-3 on Netflix)
- The Handmaid’s Tale
- The Path (If you’re intrigued by religious cults this is a good one. So is Waco on Netflix which has historical significance)
- The Voice (The best singing competition show in my opinion)
- This is Us
