Get streaming! These are the best TV shows and movies on Hulu

While your focus may be on giant streamers like Netflix and HBO Max as summer shows and movies start to trickle in, you shouldn’t forget the amount of great content on Hulu. This streamer has collected an underrated amount of classic programming and ingenious new series and films to entertain and engage viewers from home or on the go. We’re here to help you figure out what you should be watching on Hulu with these movies and shows arriving on the service in May of 2023.

White Men Can't Jump (2023)

Reboots seem to be all the rage in entertainment now, and sometimes that isn’t a bad thing. White Men Can’t Jump is one of the classic sports movies of the 1990s, and Jack Harlow and Sinqua Walls are ready to recreate the famous street hoopers played by Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes. We’re hoping these actors are able to honor the legacy of the original duo while also adding their own creativity to the roles. Basketball is also perfectly in-season right now with the NBA Playoffs! The movie is set to premiere on May 19, 2023.

No list of must-see TV or film would be complete without a documentary. Hulu’s biggest addition in this category during May is The Secrets of Hillsong. The documentary series will cover the corruption and immorality within the megachurch of Hillsong, a church originally from Australia but also with a large location in Manhattan.

Sons of Anarchy was one of the classic antihero dramas of the 2000s, and now Mayans M.C. has served as a solid spinoff for those who just can’t get enough of the motorcyclists from Kurt Sutter’s universe. This is the final season of Mayans M.C., — therefore, expect much of the same explosive climactic moments that happened in the parent show’s final season. The fifth season is set to premiere on May 24, 2023.

Study reveals the 5 shows you should avoid before bed
Watch something more relaxing than these hits before bed

We all know that watching TV is one of the most popular ways for people to wind down after a long day at work. In fact, Onebed recorded a study that proves 82% of adults like to watch streaming content before sleeping. Before bed, it feels comforting to engage with some of the best stories on Netflix, Max, and Hulu, but that doesn't mean it's the healthiest option for entertainment. Before sleeping, it's best to relax your body and your mind in preparation for a good night's rest. Being on pins and needles as you live vicariously through a zombie apocalypse or engage with past familial trauma through the eyes of a wealthy empire is way more likely to reinvigorate you and encourage more binge-watching when you need to shut those eyes down for the night.

Onebed's study went a step further to find out which recent shows are the most restrictive to quality sleep after binging them. If you want to stay caught up on all of the modern classics, it's best to watch these hits during the wake of the day instead of mere minutes before shutting down for the day. Studies say don't watch these five TV shows before bed.

Looking for shows like The Pitt? Here are 7 recommendations to stream
Here are all of the best shows to watch in between episodes of The Pitt
Noah Wyle as his character in The Pitt

When The Pitt was first announced for Max, some people were a little skeptical about adding yet another medical drama to the already over-expanded library in the genre. Fast forward a couple of months later to release and fans can't get enough of this unique, fresh take on hospital emergency rooms. The format of the first season stands out because it only takes place across a single workday in the lives of the workers inside a Pittsburgh ER. Each episode is an hour in their shift. It really gives great perspective to viewers regarding the stresses and quick pace of working in the medical field.

The Pitt only releases new episodes on a weekly basis so this gives time for fans of the show to take a look at other similar shows in the meantime. If you're struggling to pick out the best ones, we have you covered. These dramas have won Emmy awards, featured guest stars, and even starred The Pitt's Noah Wyle. Watch these shows like The Pitt for your next binge.
