Hulu’s 8-Part True Crime Miniseries Is So Good, You'll Wish You Found It Sooner

The phrase “true crime” is often used to describe highly-publicized cases of scandal and violence that are so disturbing that they resemble those in fiction. Although there is something interesting to be said about these stylized shows and how they pinpoint terrifying one-off scenarios, the genre is often at its most effective when it touches on contemporary issues taken to the worst extremes. Racial harassment and bullying are themes that have been examined in many shows and films, but Hulu’s underrated miniseries Under the Bridge explores a horrific tragedy that changed Canadian history. It’s the definition of a show that “is not easy to watch,” but Under the Bridge has powerful insights about the lack of compassion shown by today’s youth, and they couldn’t be more important to listen to.
