3 limited series on Hulu you can binge-watch this weekend (August 7-9)

This weekend, binge-watch three Hulu series packed with unexpected twists and top-notch performances. A Murder at the End of the World, a psychological thriller with strong drama elements, follows amateur sleuth Darby Hart (Emma Corrin) as she navigates a cold case while guests at a secluded Arctic retreat are murdered. The show's layered storytelling between present and past creates a gripping mystery.

In Fleishman Is in Trouble, a tense two-hander unfolds almost entirely inside a basement. Therapist Alan Strauss (Steve Carell) is held captive by his patient Sam (Domhnall Gleeson) who wants Alan's help to suppress his homicidal urges. Carell's performance delivers micro-expressions and quiet vulnerability, earning sympathy for a character often associated with comedic roles. Domhnall Gleeson matches Carell scene for scene, making Sam both disturbingly human and terrifyingly real.

Lastly, Toby Fleishman (Jesse Eisenberg) grapples with the disappearance of his ex-wife Rachel (Claire Danes) in this drama with comedic undertones. The series peels back the layers of their marriage, revealing a more complex story than either Toby or Rachel intended. Eisenberg and Danes bring nuanced performances, allowing the audience to witness the messy and human aspects of their relationship. While the show takes some patience to fully engage with, the payoff is worth the journey.
