I was a little hesitant in reading this at first, after loving the hulu series, but I was very satisfied that it lived up and maybe even surpassed the hype a little. The differences between the two things were noticeable but not ones you would be upset about. I loved the way the main character made you feel what she was feeling, outrage, sadness, relief.

I guess advertising does work; I saw several commercials on Hulu with Ryan Reynolds playing this game. That was months ago, and I finally downloaded this the other day when I got bored with Candy Crush.
This game is at least a little mentally engaging. It's a standard matching game, and it does get more complicated pretty quickly.
Overall, it's a good mobile game to play at work while on teleconferences.

Blown away!!!! Save Underground from Cancellation!
Holy crap! There I was, innocently minding my own business on Hulu. Saw the actor from Leverage (older than series) pop up on the screen, have always loved him, figured hey let's give it a go. I had never even heard of this series. I can not believe more people aren't talking about this freaking series man!!! It's a portrayal from the eyes of the slaves during slavery. Very much like Roots, but in my opinion, just as life altering, without ever truly repeating the story. The actors and actresses are just breathtaking. The costumes and soundtrack are mesmerizing. The cast literally just gets better from one season to the next. So incredibly impressed with this show. We need this show, its a shame WGN cancelled it. I really hope Hulu picks it up.

Watched a good sci-fi movie on Hulu called "Osiris Child". No one that I recognized in it but it was decent acting. The action scenes were cool and the effects were pretty good. The story was ok. Sort of hopped around a bit, but easy enough to keep up with. I would've like a different ending but it worked. If you're a sci-fi fan you'll enjoy it. Worth a watch.

"Rohmer is one of my favorite filmmakers (A Tale of Winter and The Green Ray have always been the closest to my heart), but I watched La collectionneuse for the first time this past year through my Hulu Plus/Criterion streaming thingie membership and was blown away by it. Nestor Almendros’s cinematography is just out of this world (I think it’s Rohmer’s best-looking movie), and it has one of my favorite endings of all time."

Moving and heartwarming
Find this one on hulu. A very interesting, enjoyable story about a young girl dealing with her life in a very unique way. The story unfolds very well and the ending is very moving. The special effects in this movie are really good and the young actress did a great job. This is a good family movie you can see with the kids. Really worth a watch, but be prepared(some of you) for tears.

This one was in Hulu(but I think it's on Amazon too). The acting and cinematography were ok. The story unfolds well enough, but was a bit predictable sometimes. It's a drama/thriller about a guy who can go into people's memories to help solve crimes. He is on a case to help a young girl who turns out to be smarter than anyone realizes. If you liked inception you'll probably like this one. Worth a watch on a night with nothing else to do.

Brings back great childhood memories
I used to watch this show when I was a kid in the 90s. I absolutely loved it! I haven't seen it in so many years! Thanks to Hulu I got to start with the pilot episode and am now working my way through watching the entire series again! Even as an adult I am enjoying the show once again, ahhh the nostalgia! I believe the youth of today would still thoroughly enjoy this show!!

I had wanted to see this film in theaters, but it never made an appearance in the city I live in. I was thrilled when I saw it as a Hulu exclusive. Shia LaBeouf is solid in this film as John McEnroe, and I really enjoyed Sverrir Gudnason (recently was in Girl in the Spider's Web and underused) as Borg. The movie did a great job at creating tension, and the extended scene of the Wimbledon final was completely enthralling. Overall, this movie was definitely worth the wait.

Listen. This show is hilarious. I have never laughed so much. Andy Samberg's character Jake, doesn't know how to be serious without making a dumb comment or making up words. I have never related to a character so much. This is not a typical cop show. If you want to watch a cop procedural stick with Law & Order. If you have been scrolling passed it on Hulu and not sure about watching it or not. Do it! I binged this season in like 2 days.
