What can I watch on Hulu with Fire Stick?
Despite being owned by Disney, Hulu is very different from the media giant’s other popular streaming service Disney Plus, which is definitely more child-oriented. Although there is a kids section, Hulu is packed with grown-up content from multiple networks, including Starz, ABC, Fox, ESPN, and more.
There are thousands of viewing options to suit every taste, from award-winning films like Parasite and American Animals, to TV dramas like 9-1-1, documentaries like I am Greta, and popular shows including Shark Tank and Last Man Standing.
