Hulu’s 8-Part Thriller With 98% RT Explodes on Streaming Ahead of Renewal Nielsen data for the week of July 27 to August 2 revealed that Furious, Hulu’s crime thriller, surged to the No. 10 most-watched show across all streaming platforms in the U.S. The series, which has already dominated Hulu and Disney+ globally, amassed 372 minutes of streaming in its first four episodes. With Season 2 confirmed for development, the show’s success has sparked widespread anticipation among fans and critics alike. Furious centers on Alice Black, a newly minted FBI agent who left her NYPD career after ending an abusive relationship with a fellow detective. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she uncovers a serial killer’s trail, linking the latest murder to a previous case. Alice teams up with Nora Washington, the head of the FBI’s sex crimes unit, to unravel the mystery. Unlike traditional whodunits, the series adopts a “whydunit” structure, as explained by star Emmy Rossum. The killer, Catherine Grace, is revealed early in the plot, allowing the narrative to focus on exploring her past, motivations, and the broader societal impact of her actions. The show’s unique approach has earned it acclaim as one of the best crime thrillers of the decade. Rossum’s performance is bolstered by a stellar cast including Lola Petticrew, Quincy Tyler Bernstine, Scoot McNairy, Jake Lacy, Rob Yang, and Steve Way. Each character is developed with distinct backstories and personalities, contributing to the series’ popularity. Critics and viewers have praised the show’s depth, with Rotten Tomatoes awarding it a 98% Certified Fresh score based on critics’ reviews and an 88% Popcornmeter rating from audiences. On IMDb, the series holds an 7.8 rating with nearly 10,000 reviews.#hulu #furious #emmy_rossum #alice_black #nora_washington
