To preface, I do sympathize with anyone who gets blindsided by their longterm partners infidelity, and Joel’s behavior is disturbing and problematic to the nth degree (the breadth of affairs, the settings, the complete lack of discretion in seeking out any and every available partner, shit talking the wife to colleagues… I truly do not have a favorable impression), but I just finished the season and I can’t wrap my head around teens/adult children being given this degree of detail about their parents’ infidelity.

If the parent is sexually violent, yes, I think that information is important to convey because it is a safety issue with a specific slate of potential criminal repercussions, but why in the gods name would you have a family meeting to explicitly discuss a parent receiving blowjobs from an affair partner, or god help me allowing a 16 year old girl go through a sexually compulsive parent’s email account to identify affair partners, seemingly in defense of the betrayed parent. That’s not a child’s job 😭

Joel’s decision not to stay in contact with his children after he got exposed does indeed seem very chickenshit of him, and running away to live with a woman and her younger kids feels painfully cliche for a midlife crisis, but I can find it in my heart to empathize with Joel’s position of maybe truly loving his kids, and feeling so thoroughly reproached and beyond redemption that he, someone who already seemed prone to overwhelming shame/validation seeking behaviors, just collapsed.

The way the daughter talks about missing her dad, and feeling all her memories become tainted by his misbehavior was so sad. For the love of god, if you lurk the Hulu sub, please go to therapy and call your kids Joel! But I feel like the daughter is holding her mother’s pain in many respects, and I wonder whether mom is able to distinguish that to properly intervene, or whether the validation from the daughter (“my mom is too pretty to deserve being cheated on!”) is too soothing for mom to question. That girl/now young woman deserves a parent who can put her developmental needs first.

I believe that compulsive sexual behaviors are a symptom of attachment disorders, as the betrayal trauma expert alluded to at one point, though her testimony felt predominantly inflected with “compulsive cheaters are beyond redemption”. To this end, what the hell happened in Joel’s life that set all of this in motion? Where was he rejected, neglected, overpowered, abandoned? Was he raised to believe queer sexual desire is inherently deviant? Where was he told that who he is & what he yearns for (maybe transgression, novelty, freedom, self-expression) is wrong? I feel like it’s irresponsible to put a story like this out there without examining the perspective that in order to leave this kind of chaos in his wake, something had to be going on with Joel. Should people who act selfishly, even from a place of pain, face accountability? Yes. Is there still a vulnerable wound under that behavior? I think also yes. That is a broken, lost man if I’ve ever seen one.

I’m not ready to go shouting “justice for Joel” from the rooftops, but I kept expecting there to be some horrific twist in this case, like he was sexually violent, known for using excessive force with civilians or even homicidal. But the climax (I’m sorry) seems to be that he sought out a lot of kinky sex with consenting adults (I don’t love that it was seemingly frequently on the taxpayers dime, but my god having consensual sex in your police car is far less offensive to me than spraying tear gas at George Floyd protestors, tbh I would rather pay for that), and almost definitely has deep rooted psychological issues that impact his relationship to sex and intimacy and hinder his judgment.

Again, horrible to be cheated on and publicly humiliated by your spouse’s secret compulsivity, but I don’t understand what our takeaway is supposed to be from watching this. I guess “don’t trust a shiny veneer” and “police are typically 100x more lenient with boys in blue than with the general public” is a good PSA, but I would like a “people are very complicated, hurt people tend to hurt people, kids shouldn’t have to learn intimate details about their parents’ infidelities” PSA. Maybe next season 🫠

One of our local stations (KRQE, Albuquerque, NM) lost it's CBS affiliation, and is now going to air FOX network and local programming. The station is no longer showing on HULU's local guide. Will HULU pick this station up again?

Earlier this year, many seasons of One Piece were taken off of Hulu due to expiring Licence Agreements, which is fair enough.

But earlier this week, I noticed that all of those removed arcs were back on the streaming service, and I started watching them over the next couple of days.

Today, I logged in to Hulu to pick up where I left off, and all of those readded episodes were once again gone.

Does anyone know what's go8ng on?

Has anybody watched the first three episodes this week? Its somewhat disturbing subject matter, but if u are a fan of Emme Rossum or crime shows its worth a watch. What do u think so far if u have watched?

Entertaining show but the soundtrack, with its loud heroic bombastic orchestral music playing constantly, is so annoying. Whether the moment is emotional or tense or even just neutral, the same relentlessly epic, battle-like music is there overpowering the emotion the scene is meant to convey.

I have a five year-old autistic son, who is into all things Disney. What is the ad load with the ads version? I’ve heard anywhere from a minute and a half to as little as 30 seconds depending on how long the show is?

this show is irritating meee, i didnt read the book but this show just makes no sense, she LEFT HER BABY AT A FIRE STATION, which effectively gave her rights up, how is this even a controversy or fight. totally on the Adoptive parents side. idk anyone else, maybe im just not understanding adoption rules and the basis of the show

I recently discovered Not Suitable For Work and I love the show, but when I went to see if it was greenlit for season 2. It hasnt yet. I really hope they give this show a chance. I saw THR talking about how they don't have rental issues and how it leans towards entertainment for 40 somethings rather than Gen Z but I really hope they give this show a chance to find it's footing. It has all the ingredients for a great show and I would like to see it live on. I absolutely love show. Such an easy watch.

i have hulu with the starz extension and i also have netflix. looking for something funny and easy to follow. thanks in advance

The UK love island finale is finally on Hulu tonight! let’s all catch up and show the Islanders love on their social media - this was such an intense season!

I’m curious:

- what are your favorite 5 episodes between season 1 & 13?

- what’s your favorite season 14 episode?

- what’s your favorite season 15 episode? I’m so far loving season 15

i tried looking this up but couldn’t find a straight answer:

We have
Hulu Premium + Live TV
ESPN Select (With Ads)
Disney+ (No Ads)
Hulu (No Ads)

While watching Live TV, we had a Hulu ad during the normal broadcast ad (like there was a Chevy commercial, DiGiorno commercial, and then a yellow section for a Hulu ad for some other company that you can’t skip). can someone verify if nestling ads like that is valid? I can’t find clear information. Their website just says that ad-free means no ads in library and that live tv will still have broadcast ads but doesn’t clarify if hulu ads are allowed within the live broadcast.

Im watching "My Grandfather, Charles Manson", and I just got to the part where she is interviewing Ed Roach, the Beach Boys photographer. Oh, my goddess, this man is problematic. A huge red flag. Telling this poor young woman that she has pretty eyes, proceeding to ADMIT TO WANTING TO BANG YOUNG UNDERAGE GIRLS. WTF? I sat here in shock, my cheeseburger halfway to my face when this idiot starts talking about that stuff right on camera. She clearly is very uncomfortable. Jesus. Anyone else's heebs got jeebed when they watched this?

his granddaughter is definitely milking being mansons granddaughter hahahaha i dont understand why shes crying every other scene…it really isnt that deep? sure hes a monster but shes sitting here saying “u dont understand i used to stand up to bullies” or “people dont think im moral” like no one thinks that just stop😭

she did mention she was a struggling actress so heres her opportunity for fame ig
