Top Hulu Show to Stream this August
Hulu. Have you heard of Hulu? It’s still around, but now it’s closely linked with Disney+, so you can access Hulu content through your Disney+ app. Despite the connection, Hulu offers a range of shows that Disney doesn’t typically produce.
One great show to start with on Hulu is Under the Banner of Heaven. This gripping series, based on a true story, follows a string of murders in the 1980s within a secluded Mormon community. Here are three reasons why you should give it a watch.
Firstly, Under the Banner of Heaven provides an honest look at the darker aspects of religion. While acknowledging that many Mormons sincerely follow their faith, the show focuses on how extreme religious beliefs within one family led to violence, as they believed they were chosen by God to cleanse the nation.
The series also boasts a stellar cast, with Andrew Garfield delivering a standout performance as a conflicted Mormon detective. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Wyatt Russell also deliver compelling performances in their roles, adding depth to the show.
Lastly, Under the Banner of Heaven doesn’t offer easy answers. Based on real events, the show serves as a cautionary tale rather than a neatly packaged story. As the detective grapples with his beliefs, viewers are left contemplating the complexities of faith and morality.
You can catch Under the Banner of Heaven on Hulu and immerse yourself in this thought-provoking and riveting series.
