The crime thriller TV show has long been a fixture of the traditional TV landscape, and that remains true in the era of streaming. Streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Apple TV, and Hulu all continue to release new entries in the genre regularly. Last year, HBO released the beloved Task, and Apple TV recently found success with its Cape Fear remake. Hulu remains a smaller streamer compared to the likes of Netflix and Prime Video, but it too now has a stellar crime thriller original on offer. Following its premiere on July 27, Furious remains the number one show on Hulu and Disney+. This success marks the third week in a row that the crime thriller show has occupied the leading spot in the Hulu top 10 streaming chart, speaking to just how popular the series continues to be with audiences.

The series has been earning glowing reviews thus far. On Rotten Tomatoes, the Hulu crime thriller has a stellar 98% critics' score, with praise aimed at Rossum's lead performance and the show's powerful pacing and storytelling.
