This weekend brings three Hulu series that show how top television often avoids the spotlight. Meet a contract killer who mixes laughs with tension, a Silicon Valley tale designed to twist your mind, and a 1990s puzzle that keeps changing its story - all ready for your viewing.

We also offer guides to the finest new films to stream, top movies on Netflix, excellent movies on Hulu, free films, and standout movies on Amazon Prime Video.

Mr. Inbetween (2018-2021)

Genre: Dark Comedy, Crime, Drama
IMDB rating: 8.7/10
Rotten Tomatoes (critics): 95%

Ray Shoesmith works as a contract killer in Sydney while serving as a devoted dad, trusted friend, and attentive boyfriend. This Australian dark comedy follows Ray as he juggles the routine issues of family life with the unusual pressures of his dangerous job.

Devs (2020)

Genre: Sci-fi, Mystery, Thriller
IMDB rating: 7.6/10
Rotten Tomatoes (critics): 84%

After a young software engineer loses her boyfriend in suspicious events at her Silicon Valley company, she follows clues that reveal something stranger than simple corporate secrets. Alex Garland, known for Ex Machina and Annihilation, wrote and directed all eight episodes of this miniseries.

Devs feels dense and philosophical with a visual style that stands apart from typical TV. It explores free will, quantum ideas, and the meaning of knowing the future in a way that requires close focus. The series places these big questions against the stark setting of Silicon Valley.

You can watch Devs on Hulu.

Cruel Summer (2021)

Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Drama
IMDB rating: 7.4/10
Rotten Tomatoes (critics): 94%

Set over three summers in a small Texas town during the 1990s, Cruel Summer tracks two teenage girls whose paths cross violently when one disappears. Each episode returns to the same dates in 1993, 1994, and 1995, showing how events shift based on the viewpoint presented.

Chiara Aurelia and Olivia Holt give strong performances that anchor the story amid changing alliances and tricky timelines. The 1990s backdrop adds a nostalgic layer, and the format makes you rethink what you know about the characters right up to the end of each episode.

You can watch Cruel Summer on Hulu.
