Hulu is a great streaming service for building your next binge-watch. It has hit original shows, shows from a wide range of Disney-owned networks, including FX, ABC, 20th Television (formerly owned by Fox) and more. This means that there's constantly a plethora of new shows from major studios that many of the other streaming services can't replicate.

But so much to watch means that it can be overwhelming to decide which show to start binging first. I've put together a list of three new shows perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist, all of which have full seasons to watch.

'Paradise' season 2

Genre: Post-apocalyptic political thriller

What's it about? In "Paradise" season 1, we learned of a disaster that thrust the world into the apocalypse years ago, forcing the U.S. government into an underground bunker. It's there that the U.S. President (James Marsden) was murdered, and it's there that we learned there are still people alive on the surface. Now, in season 2, Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) is leaving the bunker to find his wife, who was last known to be in Atlanta, Georgia.

Why you should watch it: The first season of this show was a well-plotted, propulsive thriller. While the "Paradise" season 2 premiere, bafflingly, derailed that momentum at first, the season 2 finale delivered revelations that set up the show for an epic third and final season.

'Dear Killer Nannies' season 1

Genre: Spanish-language biographical drama

What's it about? Miguel Tamayo stars as 7-year-old Juan Pablo ‘Juampi’ Escobar, the son of Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar (John Leguizamo). The story follows Juampi through the years as he's raised by his father's associates, aka the "Killer Nannies."

Why you should watch it: "Dear Killer Nannies" isn't just another Pablo Escobar story. It's very much focused on Juampi's life and how being the son of one of the world's most powerful men impacted his childhood. It's no "Sopranos," but if you like the HBO classic, you'll find some common ground with this new drama series.

'Atomic' season 1

Genre: British action drama

What's it about? A drug smuggler named Max (Alfie Allen) suddenly finds himself transporting uranium in North Africa alongside a mysterious man he calls "JJ" (Shazad Latif). Needless to say, it does not go as planned.

Why you should watch it: If you like a British action series with some thrilling elements, "Atomic" will likely scratch the itch. It's firmly in the "Good, not great" camp, but it's based on a true story, and with just five episodes, can easily be binged in a single sitting.
