One of the great perks that come with cutting the cord is getting access to popular original shows that are only available on streaming services. Some of the most-watched shows – like Stranger Things – aren’t on cable and can only be enjoyed with a cord cutting set up. If you’re bored with the same old shows you see on TV and are looking for something new, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and more have a big selection of platform exclusives for you to try out.
Here’s a list of 5 trending original shows to check out right now:
1. Little Fires Everywhere
Starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, Little Fires Everywhere follows the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. Based on Celeste Ng’s 2017 bestseller, the story explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the ferocious pull of motherhood – and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster.
