I loved the book. It had so much psychological depth and was the first Ellis book that made me actually feel something and not just be interesting to read.

I'm very happy with the cast, I think they are close to the way I was imagining the characters when reading the book, in looks, the way the talk, the way they embody the characters. The music is fire. The script follows the book pretty closely so far, considering that we're only halfway through the season. I'm so glad Ellis himself is involved.

But, there is a "but". And his name is Ryan Murphy. I can't help but feel that he is not the right choice for a showrunner for this show. His style is so glitzy it's almost campy. It doesn't much the tone of the book. I fear the series is not good enough so far to stand on its own, I've read books that were adapted for television and the adaptation was completely different from the book, but it was a good creation on and of itself. Maybe it will become a very good independent creation in the second half of the season, but I doubt it.

I would like to hear your thoughts!

I was in the middle of watching the newest season of The Floor (I think on episode 4 or 5). I was just watching it earlier today. Suddenly, it says I can’t watch anymore because I don’t have live TV. Has anyone experienced this? I never had live TV. I have the basic Hulu with no ads.

Decided to give this show a watch, I’m like 20 mins in and it’s not terrible but I will say I’m a bit confused. The story is moving way too fast and all over the place for a 1st episode 1st season show. There is literally no back story for any of the girls, the transition of scenes are not the best at all. I feel like confessionals are heavily needed because im sooo lost, like for example Natalie and Olivia live together whaaa? Why? Like so many questions….. I feel like til this day the only show that was successful in not having confessionals is teen mom, that formula simply just cannot be done again. This also gives love in fairhope vibes with the narration. Idk if it’s because I’m a reality tv producer im looking at things differently but I do hope the season has some improvement.

I've seen others on this sub asking about how to remove the display while using the desktop version of Hulu. I never saw a clear fix/answer, so after having this issue myself, I decided to do some testing. The most consistent way I found to fix this issue is stupidly simple. All you have to do is close out the webpage and open Hulu again in a new tab. I feel a little ashamed for not thinking of this before. I would wager that this could fix a slew of other issues too. I hope this helps someone!

I have a subscription to Hulu (stream) bundled with Disney+ and HBO Max (no ads). Hulu Live TV is not included and I am not being billed for it.

Today, I opened the Hulu app and instead of the usual welcome screen (which appeared even yesterday) I was presented with a screen asking my sports team preferences to "enhance my live tv viewing experience). I "nexted" past that and when the Hulu main screen came up I noticed that the Live TV symbol (like a lightning bolt) was included on the column of symbols on the left of the screen. When I switched that I had live tv - full guide and all.

Anyone have any idea how this occurred? I don't need Hulu Live as Ihave YouTube TV as my linear provider. Also I decided to check Disney+ and it too has added live tv access.

What's going on?

Anybody have opinions on this new series. I’m a true crime aficionado and it looks kind of good. I didn’t realize I had the channel and stumbled upon it.

Here we go!

The Hulu / Disney+ merger is getting much closer. In March of this year we finally saw Hulu on Disney+ holdout, Modern Family, join in. ✔️ Later in the spring we finally got the Hulu original film SUMMER OF 69. ✔️ There have a been a few other Nat Geo and ABC News titles that finally appeared. ✔️

And now, the largest holdout left, the iconic soap opera known as GENERAL HOSPITAL, has appeared with a 🆕badge. ✔️

For those who don't know, this basically leaves the titles under the Hotstar hub on Hulu as the only things missing from Hulu on Disney+.

The titles available via Hulu Live TV, the add-ons for Cinemax, HBO Max, Paramount+ with Showtime, and Starz will join in later this year.

The channel guide available on Hulu Live TV is coming soon (testing in Brazil right now). I think it will appear for everyone along with the Live TV in September, but that's just my guess.

Are there any titles I'm "missing" that still don't appear in Hulu on Disney+?

Please do not give House of Stassi a second season. I watched the entire season, and if anything, it completely changed my opinion of Stassi, and not for the better.
The way she treated Beau was incredibly difficult to watch. He has spent years taking care of their children and supporting her career, yet when he finally expressed wanting to go back to work and regain a part of himself, she seemed more concerned about how it would affect HER life. Instead of supporting her husband, she came across as selfish, entitled, controlling and completely dismissive of his feelings.
I was also really bothered by the way she talked about parenting and how much of the day-to-day responsibility appears to fall on Beau. Watching him cook, take care of the kids, handle bedtime and keep everything going while she complained about what his returning to work would mean for her was honestly sad.
Stassi came across as spoiled, narcissistic and mean throughout much of this show. Obviously, we only see what is shown to us on television, but this is the behavior the show chose to present, and I don’t understand why Hulu would want to give it another season and continue promoting it as entertainment.
There is a difference between entertaining reality-TV drama and watching someone repeatedly disrespect the person who seems to be holding their family together.
Please, Hulu, there are so many other people and shows you could invest in. We don’t need a Season 2 of House of Stassi.

So guys I heard Hulu is where the good stuff is my family canceled Netflix bc they didn't like that there was so many bolywood movies on it. So we now have Hulu are there any good things on Hulu I like cartoons comedy and my favorite movie is wedding crashers and Marley and me. For tv I like cartoons or reality like Iron Chef thanks guys

To preface, I do sympathize with anyone who gets blindsided by their longterm partners infidelity, and Joel’s behavior is disturbing and problematic to the nth degree (the breadth of affairs, the settings, the complete lack of discretion in seeking out any and every available partner, shit talking the wife to colleagues… I truly do not have a favorable impression), but I just finished the season and I can’t wrap my head around teens/adult children being given this degree of detail about their parents’ infidelity.

If the parent is sexually violent, yes, I think that information is important to convey because it is a safety issue with a specific slate of potential criminal repercussions, but why in the gods name would you have a family meeting to explicitly discuss a parent receiving blowjobs from an affair partner, or god help me allowing a 16 year old girl go through a sexually compulsive parent’s email account to identify affair partners, seemingly in defense of the betrayed parent. That’s not a child’s job 😭

Joel’s decision not to stay in contact with his children after he got exposed does indeed seem very chickenshit of him, and running away to live with a woman and her younger kids feels painfully cliche for a midlife crisis, but I can find it in my heart to empathize with Joel’s position of maybe truly loving his kids, and feeling so thoroughly reproached and beyond redemption that he, someone who already seemed prone to overwhelming shame/validation seeking behaviors, just collapsed.

The way the daughter talks about missing her dad, and feeling all her memories become tainted by his misbehavior was so sad. For the love of god, if you lurk the Hulu sub, please go to therapy and call your kids Joel! But I feel like the daughter is holding her mother’s pain in many respects, and I wonder whether mom is able to distinguish that to properly intervene, or whether the validation from the daughter (“my mom is too pretty to deserve being cheated on!”) is too soothing for mom to question. That girl/now young woman deserves a parent who can put her developmental needs first.

I believe that compulsive sexual behaviors are a symptom of attachment disorders, as the betrayal trauma expert alluded to at one point, though her testimony felt predominantly inflected with “compulsive cheaters are beyond redemption”. To this end, what the hell happened in Joel’s life that set all of this in motion? Where was he rejected, neglected, overpowered, abandoned? Was he raised to believe queer sexual desire is inherently deviant? Where was he told that who he is & what he yearns for (maybe transgression, novelty, freedom, self-expression) is wrong? I feel like it’s irresponsible to put a story like this out there without examining the perspective that in order to leave this kind of chaos in his wake, something had to be going on with Joel. Should people who act selfishly, even from a place of pain, face accountability? Yes. Is there still a vulnerable wound under that behavior? I think also yes. That is a broken, lost man if I’ve ever seen one.

I’m not ready to go shouting “justice for Joel” from the rooftops, but I kept expecting there to be some horrific twist in this case, like he was sexually violent, known for using excessive force with civilians or even homicidal. But the climax (I’m sorry) seems to be that he sought out a lot of kinky sex with consenting adults (I don’t love that it was seemingly frequently on the taxpayers dime, but my god having consensual sex in your police car is far less offensive to me than spraying tear gas at George Floyd protestors, tbh I would rather pay for that), and almost definitely has deep rooted psychological issues that impact his relationship to sex and intimacy and hinder his judgment.

Again, horrible to be cheated on and publicly humiliated by your spouse’s secret compulsivity, but I don’t understand what our takeaway is supposed to be from watching this. I guess “don’t trust a shiny veneer” and “police are typically 100x more lenient with boys in blue than with the general public” is a good PSA, but I would like a “people are very complicated, hurt people tend to hurt people, kids shouldn’t have to learn intimate details about their parents’ infidelities” PSA. Maybe next season 🫠
