Each of these shows has wowed the critics. They're sure to wow you, too!

In the age of streaming services, finding the right platform is a tough challenge. While a few years ago many people were content with Netflix alone, now many high-profile projects are landing on many other services, new and old. Of course, it's ridiculous to subscribe to literally every video-on-demand platform out there, and if you're wondering which one to try (or which subscription to renew this year), we highly recommend you consider Hulu.

Disney- owned Hulu launched back in 2007, but it's grown to incredible proportions in recent years, offering subscribers top-notch scripted shows that can easily compete with the hits on Netflix, Max, Apple TV+, Disney+, and even traditional TV networks. And if you're not sure where to start with your newfound subscription to the streaming service, check out our list of 11 great Hulu series that will fill your free time with binge-watching.

From a hit period drama to time-travel sci-fi, from a comedy about true crime podcast fans to a true crime story, from a teen drama about the experiences of indigenous people to an anxiety-inducing drama about the working lives of restaurant employees.

All of these series demonstrate the level of effort that filmmakers working under the auspices of FX and Hulu put into their projects, delivering some of the most highly regarded stories on television today, a level of prestige rivaled only by HBO's Max. In addition, literally every one of the projects listed above features well-known actors from world cinema and television, so viewers who prefer to see familiar faces on the small screen will be in for a treat!

Hulu subscriptions start at $7.99 per month for the ad-supported plan and $17.99 per month if you prefer to invest in an uninterrupted viewing experience. The service also includes the option to combine the basic subscription with a Live TV package, as well as Disney+ and ESPN+ programming. Moreover, if you've never tried Hulu, you can sign up for a free seven-day trial.
