Top Shows to Stream: Hulu’s ‘The Beauty’ and More
If you’re in the mood for a top show on Hulu right now, look no further than “The Beauty.” This sci-fi body horror series, created by Ryan Murphy, delves into modern beauty standards with a dark twist. Picture this: international supermodels meeting mysterious deaths, prompting two FBI agents (played by Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall) to untangle a dangerous web that traces back to a beauty drug concocted by a shady tech billionaire, Ashton Kutcher.
The star-studded cast also includes Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope, and guest appearances by Bella Hadid, Isabella Rossellini, Ben Platt, Jessica Alexander, and Vincent D’Onofrio. While “The Beauty” has received a range of reviews from critics and viewers alike, some even drawing parallels to Demi Moore’s chilling film “The Substance,” it’s definitely a show worth checking out.
Looking for more binge-worthy content? How about “Star Search,” currently making waves on Netflix. This ’80s talent competition, now revived for a new era, is hosted by Anthony Anderson and features a live format with celebrity judges like Chrissy Teigen, Jelly Roll, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Tune in on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT to see aspiring singers, dancers, comedians, and variety acts vie for the spotlight.
For those scrolling through HBO Max, “Industry” is a must-watch. This financial drama set in London follows a group of young graduates at Pierpoint & Co. as they navigate a high-stakes world of finance and power struggles. The show stars Myha’la, Marisa Abela, Kit Harington, and an ensemble of talented actors.
Switching over to Prime Video, catch “Steal,” a gripping heist thriller starring Sophie Turner as Zara, an ordinary office worker caught up in a robbery at her workplace. With twists and turns aplenty, this series keeps you on the edge of your seat.
And if you have Apple TV, don’t miss “Hijack,” featuring Idris Elba as a corporate negotiator trying to save a hijacked plane and, in Season 2, commandeering a high-stakes hostage situation on an underground Berlin train. The suspense is real, so prepare for intense drama with a stellar cast including Christine Adams, Max Beesley, and Archie Panjabi.
