Hulu’s new movie, “The United States vs. Billie Holiday,” is a biography on one of the most famous singers of the mid-20th century — Billie Holiday — and her experience as a successful Black woman in the years leading up to the civil rights movement.

A part of the charm of “Freaks and Geeks,” a single-season 1999 comedy-drama, is the fully developed and compelling characters. Each character has a strong narrative — there’s Lindsey’s relationship with her parents, Sam’s journey to deciding what he wants and Danny’s desperation to belong. Even the guidance counselor serves as a central character, developing

I think we can all agree that middle school was an awkward phase in our lives. Unlike for middle schoolers today, who look like they are about to turn 25, middle school was once filled with prepubescent boys and hormone-ridden girls.

“This [TV show] is dedicated to touching.” While not technically canon, this (modified) epigraph of sorts from the beginning of Harry Styles’ “Watermelon Sugar” music video is a fairly accurate, albeit surface-level, summation up one of the most oft-discussed television series from the world’s spring quarantine period: Hulu’s “Normal People.” An adaptation of the 2018

Liz Tigelaar’s television adaptation of Celeste Ng’s book “Little Fires Everywhere” really runs the gambit of hard-hitting topics. It’s easy to see why sparks light all these flammable areas in this story, which plays out very well on the screen on Hulu. The book caught fire through Reese Witherspoon’s book club and Hello Sunshine, and

The coronavirus pandemic has brought with it many new challenges, inconveniences and a cascade of uncomfortable adjustments to individuals’ daily lives. Yet another thing COVID-19 has brought upon us all, both at The Observer and, undoubtedly, everywhere else, is family time. Lots and lots of family time. Maybe you, like me, are stuck at home

“The ugly truth of the matter is this,” Rob Brooks, played by Zoe Kravitz, laments at the end of the first episode of Hulu’s “High Fidelity.” “If we suddenly heard that the world was going to end in 24 hours, the people I would call in the first hour would be the obvious: my parents,

Hulu’s eight-episode limited series inspired by John Green’s debut novel, “Looking for Alaska,” premiered Oct. 18. Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are the series’ executive producers, and author John Green had some influence as well. While I am happy that Green is having a third work adapted for the screen, so to speak, this third

Actor-comedian Ramy Youssef is a millennial. He is a Muslim. He is an American from the great state of New Jersey. He is also the son of immigrants. Youssef’s new Hulu show, “Ramy,” explores what it means to be each of these things, how they all work together and how they seemingly conflict. “Ramy”
