Club Benefits
Hulu is a great streaming service for finding your binge-watch. Not only is it home to a ton of hit original shows, including more than a few that score Emmy nominations (and wins), but it also pulls in shows from a wide range of Disney-owned networks and studios. That means Hulu draws in shows from FX, ABC, 20th Television (formerly owned by Fox) and more.
That's a stable of new shows from major studios that plenty of other streaming services can't replicate. But it also means it can be overwhelming to decide which show to start with first. So I've put together a list of three new shows perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist. Top of the list is the new season of "Paradise," which will drop its season 2 finale on Hulu on Monday. That means you have all weekend to catch up on the first seven episodes of the season. Plus, once you're done watching that, you can catch up on the first season of the "Scrubs" revival or start binging the iconic 1990s sitcom, "The Nanny," which is available to stream in full.

Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022 and watches dozens of shows each year, so you don't need to watch any bad ones. He's already watched over 15 seasons of TV this year, and thankfully, it's mostly been good.
'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, 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. But the "Paradise" season 2 premiere, bafflingly, derailed that momentum at first. Now seven episodes in, though, I can safely say that I'm back to being on the edge of our seats.

'Scrubs'
Genre: Workplace sitcom
What's it about? "Scrubs" is back. Years after the original series ended, J.D. (Zach Braff) is now the Chief of Medicine at Sacred Heart Hospital. He's not alone either. His best friend, Dr. Chris Turk (Donald Faison), is also by his side as the hospital's Chief of Surgery.
Why you should watch it: If you liked the original "Scrubs" (which Hulu now calls "Scrubs" (2001)), then this revival should be enjoyable. It's a lot of the same familiar faces and same comedic hijinks that made the original run so beloved. In fact, TG's own Martin Shore declared the reboot "exactly what I wanted it to be." Be warned, though; there is one major change.

'The Nanny'
Genre: Sitcom
What's it about? Queens fashionista Fran Fine (Fran Drescher) suddenly finds herself the nanny for the children of British Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy). Despite their different backgrounds, though, she proves to be a perfect fit for the family.
Why you should watch it: "The Nanny" is one of the more beloved sitcoms of the 1990s, and it's an excellent example of the genre. Not only is it funny, but it also explores poignant societal themes, a hallmark of many sitcoms throughout television history.
