3 underrated Hulu shows that are perfect to watch for the winter

The holiday season may be behind us, but we still have another month to go before winter ends. The weather may be cold outside, but Hulu is encouraging us to stay warm inside while catching the three underrated shows that are perfect to watch for the winter.

It’s no coincidence that all three of the shows that we’ve chosen are produced by FX, a cable network that’s well-known for  ts high-quality dramas. FX on Hulu has consistently given subscribers a number of binge-worthy shows, but the three that we’ve chosen seem to be extremely well-suited for the season. And all of three them can be easily binged before spring rolls around in March.

Fargo (2014-Present)

The first two seasons of Fargo were critically acclaimed, but the buzz has considerably died down on this anthology series. Regardless, the recently released fifth season is a return to form that focuses on Dorothy “Dot” Lyon (Juno Temple), the devoted wife of Wayne Lyon (David Rysdahl) and the mother of Scotty Lyon (Sienna King). Everyone has their secrets, but Dot’s hidden past is a dozy.

After inadvertently drawing attention to herself, Dot survives an attempted kidnapping, only to be confronted by a man from her past: Sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm). And Tillman isn’t the only one with a grudge against Dot, or even the only threat to the life that she has built for herself and her family.

A Murder At the End of the World (2023)

If you thought the weather in Fargo was cold, then you aren’t prepared for the arctic chills of Iceland in A Murder At the End of the World. An enigmatic billionaire, Andy Ronson (Clive Owen), has invited true crime detective Darby Hart (Emma Corrin), her former partner, Bill Farrah (Harris Dickinson), and several other guests to his remote compound for a special event.

While attempting to clear the air with Bill, Darby comes across him after he’s been mortally wounded by an unknown assailant. And if Darby can’t find the killer soon, then Bill won’t be the only one who gets murdered.

Justified: City Primeval (2023)

There’s not a snowflake in sight in Justified: City Primeval, the sequel miniseries to FX’s Justified. But U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) has rarely encountered a more coldblooded killer than Clement Mansell (Boyd Holbrook), aka “The Oklahoma Wildman.”

After Clement commits two brutal murders, Raylan is forced to remain in Detroit until he can unravel the case and make charges stick against Mansell. This is easier said than done as Clement proves to be very slippery, as he has help staying out of prison. Clement is also eager for a showdown with Raylan, and not shy about targeting him or even about approaching Raylan’s teenage daughter, Willa (Vivian Olyphant).

A man riding a horse raises his arm in The Underground Railroad.

While no weather is ever guaranteed, May comes with hope for more warmth and plenty of sunshine. If you're someone who isn't into the heat, or you're just looking for a great way to spend a May weekend, Amazon Prime Video has plenty of great shows that you can peruse.

Picking just one can be difficult, though, which is why we've stepped in to help you pick the perfect show to watch this May. The Underground Railroad originally aired in 2021 on Prime Video, and at the time, it was underseen and underdiscussed. The series, which is adapted from Colson Whitehead's novel of the same name, imagines a version of the Antebellum South where the Underground Railroad was an actual railroad. Here are three reasons you should check out the miniseries:

3 underrated shows on Peacock you need to watch in May 2024
The cast of Departure.

There are more sporting events and news programs on Peacock than anything else, but it's far from devoid of great TV series. Peacock gets every new show from NBC without exception. However, the series from other countries -- and even a few Peacock originals -- sometimes seem to just disappear if you don't know what you're looking for.

This is why we're throwing the spotlight on three underrated shows on Peacock that you need to watch in May. Two of our three picks are Peacock originals, while the other is an obscure British TV series that probably would have been forgotten if The Office (the original UK version) and Sherlock star Martin Freeman didn't have a leading role in it. Now, all three are simply waiting for a wider audience to discover them.
