5 must-watch shows and movies on Hulu in October 2021

Flatliners

This is the 1990 version of the movie, and it is the best version. The movie follows five medical students who want to see what’s beyond death. To do that, they need to conduct near-death experience experiments. What happens if they don’t all come back to life, though? And what is on the other side?

Watch from Oct. 1.

Jacinta

The first of the Hulu Original releases is Jacinta, a documentary shot over the course of three years. It follows Jacinta and her mother Rosemary, both incarcerated at Maine Correctional Center and recovering from drug addiction. The focus is mainly on Jacinta, who was pulled into her mother’s world of drugs and crimes and has been in and out of prison since she was a teenager. With her most recent release, she wants to remain sober to reconnect with her 10-year-old daughter.

Watch from Oct. 8

Dopesick

Another Hulu Original is Dopesick. While it is inspired by real life, it is a fictionalized miniseries actually based on the book Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors and the Drug Company That Addicted America. It looks at the opioid crisis across the country, and it certainly is a compelling series. It’s going to sit with you after you’ve watched it.

Watch starting from Oct. 13.

The Next Thing You Eat

You are what you eat. It’s a common statement shared, and now a series on the streamer is going to look at that. Chef David Change and filmmaker Morgan Neville look into the world around us and how there are some major changes around the globe. These seismic changes will affect the food we eat in the future. It looks at robots, lab-grown animals, and much more.

All six episodes are available from Oct. 21.

Spirit Untamed

Finally, it’s all about the animated movie Spirit Untamed. It follows Lucy Prescott who befriends Spirit, a wild mustang, after she moves to a sleepy little town. The two have a rebellious spirit and form an instant bond. However, a wrangler wants to capture Spirit and his herd, so Lucky and her friends need to go on an adventure to save him.

Watch the movie on Oct. 31.
