Hulu is a streaming service owned by Disney (and partially by Comcast) offering current-season TV episodes, original series, and a large back-catalog library. For Christian families, Hulu presents more content concerns than Netflix with less of the countervailing family-appropriate content.
Hulu's core value proposition — current-season TV episodes from broadcast and cable networks — means its library reflects the full content range of American television, including significant amounts of explicitly sexual, violent, and anti-Christian material. Unlike Netflix, which has invested heavily in family content as a category, Hulu's family content catalog is thin relative to its adult content.
The Handmaid's Tale — Hulu's most acclaimed original — uses Christian imagery (Puritan aesthetics, biblical names, Christian terminology) to construct an anti-Christian dystopia. It is one of the most explicitly anti-Christian prestige dramas on streaming. While this is one show, it represents Hulu's content orientation accurately.
Hulu's primary advantage is current-season TV access — if you want to watch network shows the next day rather than waiting for annual DVD/streaming releases, Hulu provides that. Its back-catalog includes classic shows and films. For Christians who want to keep up with specific shows, Hulu may be the only way to access them without cable.

Among major streaming platforms, Hulu rates lowest for Christian families. Apple TV+ (58/100) and Netflix (35/100) both provide more family-appropriate content per dollar. Amazon Prime Video is more comparable. Unless you specifically need Hulu's current-season TV access, the other platforms provide better value for Christian families.
