Clue explained

Hulu is a streaming service and a familiar name in television. It began in 2007 as a joint venture among media companies, offering viewers a way to watch TV episodes online; that early focus on recent broadcast shows helped distinguish it from services centered mainly on films. Hulu later expanded into original series as streaming changed how audiences find and watch television.
