If you have to watch one Hulu show this September, stream this one
A man sits in a kids' indoor playground in Life & Beth.

Netflix gets plenty of credit for being the deepest streaming service on the internet, but Hulu could give it a run for its money. Between all the originals that the streamer is churning out and all of the library titles that they have access to, Hulu could actually be the deeper and more interesting streaming service.

Given all of the great shows available on Hulu, though, it can actually be difficult to decide what you want to watch. If you're looking for a show that has gone under the radar, then we'd recommend checking out Life & Beth. The series, which is based on Amy Schumer's actual life, tells the story of her character Beth as she reevaluates her life following a sudden and traumatic event. Here are three reasons you should check it out.

If you have to watch one Netflix show this September, stream this one
Traylor Howard in Monk.

Throughout most of this year, Netflix has added at least one high-profile show that ran for multiple seasons on another network or streamer. However, September doesn't have any major preexisting shows heading to Netflix, so we'll just have to take a look back at a series that arrived on the streamer earlier this year: Monk.

Monk originally ran on USA Network from 2002 to 2009, and it was one of the cable channel's biggest hits. It played so well that reruns of Monk are currently syndicated to linear broadcast channels. Netflix probably picked it up hoping that Monk would have a similar resurgence to the one that another USA show, Suits, enjoyed in 2023. So far, that hasn't been the case and Monk largely falls outside of the 10 most popular shows on Netflix. Regardless, this is a top-notch series, and we're sharing the reasons why Monk is the one Netflix show that you have to stream in September. And since it has eight full seasons, it might take you the full month to get through it!

Like the Netflix hit series The Accident? Then watch these 3 shows right now
The cast of The Accident.

Thanks in part to the fact that Netflix has grown almost as much as it can in the United States, the streaming service has become much more international in recent years. Now, along with all the great shows produced in the U.S. that are available on the service, Netflix has also introduced several international series that have become popular across the globe.

One of those shows, The Accident, is a Spanish-language series that tells the story of a horrific accident and the way its aftershocks ripple out across three different families. If you watched that show and are hungry for something similar, we've pulled together a list of three shows that might just fit the bill.
