Last month, Spotify announced its Premium users across the United States would be gifted a free Hulu subscription, meaning that for just $9.99 per month, subscribers could enjoy both ad-free music and an absolute ton of amazing TV content.

Hulu might not scream as loudly as competitors Netflix and Amazon's Prime Video, but quality of its content places it on par with those rivals, if not higher. While you'll find a bunch of shows that also appear on Netflix, such as Rick and Morty and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, there are also loads of comedies, classics, and original series specific to Hulu.

Below, you'll find some, but by no means all, of the best shows on Hulu.

South Park

Seasons on Hulu: 22

Episodes: 294

Head to Hulu for a full dive into South Park's mammoth back catalog. The platform has every single episode of the award-winning animated satire, featuring, among others, metrosexual Crab People, a Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo, and a Towelie the perma-stoned talking towel.

Seasons on Hulu: 8

Episodes: 161

It shouldn't come as a huge surprise that this Adult Swim sketch comedy is as batshit crazy as it is funny. Spinning off various pop culture moments, each episode is a 15-minute dose of stop-motion madness.

Seinfeld

Perhaps one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, the award-guzzling Seinfeld is a hilarious and often painfully awkward look at single adult life in ’90s America.

Seasons on Hulu: 7

Another old school teen fave, Buffy the Vampire Slayer stars a young Sarah Michelle Gellar as the ass-kicking titular slayer who served as many fierce fashion looks and one-liners as she did vampire-whuppings.
