Leans most adult of major platforms. The Handmaid's Tale uses Christian imagery for anti-Christian messaging. Lowest value for Christian families. 30/100 Caution.
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. Unlike Netflix, which has invested significantly in family content as a category, Hulu's family content catalog is thin relative to its adult content. The majority of Hulu's library consists of current TV shows across all networks, including significant amounts of explicitly sexual, violent, and anti-Christian material.
Hulu's most acclaimed original — The Handmaid's Tale — uses Christian imagery (Puritan aesthetics, biblical names, Christian terminology) to construct an explicitly anti-Christian dystopia where a theocratic government enslaves and rapes women. The show is technically excellent and culturally acclaimed, which makes it more dangerous for Christian formation than less polished anti-Christian content. It has shaped public perception of Christianity negatively in documented ways.

Children's media shapes formation in ways adult media does not — children are not yet equipped with the critical distance to evaluate what they're consuming. The question is not just "is this harmful?" but "what is this teaching?" GodlyScore evaluates children's content with heightened sensitivity to family depiction, LGBT normalization, spiritual content, and whether the overall tone encourages virtue or passivity.
