3 new to Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend — including a mafia-style take on 'The Traitors' and the return of Ethan Hawke's brilliant crime-comedy (Nov. 13-15)
Here are three new to Hulu shows you need to add to your weekend watchlist.
This weekend, Hulu offers three enticing new shows that will keep you entertained during the colder months. The first feature is a reality show inspired by the popular series "The Traitors," but with a mob boss twist. Instead of famous celebrities, the contestants are ordinary people who must act like gangsters to win $250,000 in games borrowed from classic mob movies.
Hosted by Parker Posey, the show promises to provide a taste of Italian luxury while delivering plenty of entertainment. Keep your brain off for this one, but enjoy the stunning scenery.
Next up is a Korean romantic drama that sets romance against the backdrop of a robotics lab. The story follows two students, Min-Jae and You-jin, who meet while pursuing their studies. Min-Jae, once a professional swimmer, is now a PhD candidate who lost his leg in an accident. As You-jin helps Min-Jae open up, their relationship blossoms amidst the backdrop of cutting-edge robotics. If you're not usually a fan of melodramas, this one's sweet storyline and beautiful cinematography may change your mind.
Lastly, Hulu returns with a second season of "The Lowdown," featuring Ethan Hawke as a bumbling journalist named Lee Raybon. In this neo-noir comedy-crime drama, Raybon struggles to overcome his past trauma after exposing a corrupt political family in Tulsa. As he grapples with his own demons, he finds himself entangled in a conspiracy theory surrounding the city's prison system.
This season adds a new twist by having Tommy Lee Jones portray Hawke's eccentric father, a former Vietnam vet turned conman with dementia. With Hawke's stellar performance and Tommy Lee Jones' charismatic presence, "The Lowdown" season 2 is sure to be a hit.
