For the weekend of Feb. 10, Streamline recommends the Comedy Central show “Broad City” in the top Hulu spot for the first time.
The fourth season of that show ended at the close of 2017, but Hulu just added the entire season.
Debuting in 2014, “Broad City” quickly established itself as one of the most beloved comedy shows of this decade. The second season (also on Hulu) was particularly great. The last two seasons have been more hit-or-miss as the show transitioned into more ridiculous territory. But Season 4 is still a great watch.
Assorted Hulu Streaming News
Hulu lost $920 million in 2017, due largely to original content spending and the company launching a live television service. The service had lost $531 million the year before. Last month, Hulu announced it ended 2017 with 17 million subscribers, about a 40 percent increase from 2016. Hulu is now projected to lose around $1.7 billion in 2018.
But as Hulu is owned by Comcast, 21st Century Fox, Disney and Time Warner ― companies with seemingly bottomless pits of money ― Hulu should still be around to give you more “Handmaid’s Tale” for quite some time.
In Hulu streaming news that doesn’t involve losing billions of dollars, it was discovered this week that “The Good Place” takes place in the same universe as “Parks and Recreation,” which ended in 2015. Mike Schur created both NBC shows, which are popular on the service.
At least two prop magazines used in “The Good Place” have advertisements for joke products from “Parks and Rec,” including Jean-Ralphio’s champagne.
And “A.P. Bio,” a top Streamline recommendation from last week, is now also streaming on YouTube.
The entirety of the pilot of this Glenn Howerton- and Patton Oswalt-starring show can be watched below.
