Hulu is an online streaming service with a diverse catalog of offerings, including domestic and international TV shows, movies, anime, and art-house films. Recent additions include original dramas like National Treasure and The Handmaid’s Tale, which won an Emmy award for best drama series in 2017. Hulu recently launched a new live TV service, which gives subscribers access to many popular shows immediately as they are released on traditional television, potentially luring satellite or cable customers to finally cut the cord.
