10 Best New TV Shows Nobody Is Watching
4. We Were The Lucky Ones
We Were the Lucky Ones adapts Georgia Hunter's 2017 book of the same name, chronicling the life and times of the Kurcs, a family of Polish Jews as they attempt to survive the Holocaust.
What the show's eight-episode miniseries treatment does so well is demonstrate how slowly the noose tightened around Poland, leaving the Kurc family scrambling to escape to whatever corner of the world they could.
It's obviously deeply harrowing fare, though avoids ever devolving into gawking misery porn, mining just enough scattered hope from the Kurcs' story. It's also persuasively acted by the ensemble cast, especially Joey King.
Despite being based on a New York Times bestseller, the series passed most by in short order, perhaps because, much like AMC, Hulu aren't exactly the best at banging the drum for their own original content.
And so, if it misses out on awards buzz later in the year, they'll have only themselves to blame.
