‘Angie Tribeca,’ ‘The Mick’ & More Hidden-Gem Comedies to Stream on Hulu
Need a laugh? Us too. Thankfully, Hulu has a deep bench of titles that may have slipped by your radar. Here are a handful of our favorites from the sublime to the (party) downright ridiculous.
Angie Tribeca
Freeze!…and check out this goofy parody of cop shows that’s drawn comparisons to the Naked Gun movies. The 2016–18 comedy skewers every trope in the genre, including the will-they-won’t-they sexual tension between partners Angie (Rashida Jones) and Jay Geils (Hayes MacArthur), who work in the LAPD’s Really Heinous Crimes Unit. Seasons 1–4 available
Party Down
Care for some quirky humor with your canapé? A group of jaded cater waiters populate Starz’s 2009–10 comedy starring Adam Scott as droll Henry and scene-stealer Jane Lynch as former actress Constance, who rehashes her glory days, like the time she played a hooker on Baretta and had one line to deliver: “Lookin’s free. Touchin’ will cost ya.” Seasons 1–2 available
The Mick
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Kaitlin Olson showed her leading-lady chops on this demented tale of an abrasive opportunist stuck raising her wealthy sister’s kids. The 2017–18 series’ antihero is like a day-drinking version of The Nanny with no moral compass. Seasons 1–2 available
What We Do in the Shadows
For those of you just learning of FX’s riotous vampires-in–Staten Island favorite, now’s the time to binge the first two years. If Season 1’s silly, star-studded “The Trial” episode doesn’t convert you, it’s possible you may be undead as well. Seasons 1–2 available; Season 3 episodes stream Fridays after airing on FX
Please Like Me
Josh Thomas, the creator, and star of this semi-autobiographical 2013–16 Australian series, turns tragedy into comedy, finding humor in tough subjects (like his mother’s suicide attempt) with the help of his weird loved ones. Seasons 1–4 available
