The Great

The Great is the most audacious show on this list, earning a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes—tied with #5 What We Do in the Shadows for the highest score among Hulu comedies. Elle Fanning’s Catherine the Great leads an anarchic, anachronistic tale that blends history with absurdity: 30 episodes cover her rise to power with a joke rate of 20 gags per minute. Its season 2 debut drew 3.2 million viewers, outperforming the average Hulu comedy by 40%. The writing is gloriously unhinged, earning 3 Emmy nominations across its run. For bold, original comedy that refuses to play it safe, The Great is unmatched.
