'The Act' is one of the shows that is being looked forward to on Hulu. The series based on a true crime will premiere on Hulu on March 20 and see Patricia Arquette and Joey King play the lead roles. But before that, here are some of the most interesting shows on the streaming site that you can watch as you wait for the show to air.

 1. The Handmaid's Tale

The Handmaid's Tale starring Elizabeth Moss in the lead is set in the dystopian world of the Republic of Gilead where the country is under a totalitarian rule entrenched in misogyny. The women are stripped of their right to work, hold bank accounts and even their identity to ensure dependency on their male counterparts. Handmaids are women who are forced to become surrogates for upperclassmen because there are very few fertile women left in the world. This series tells the tale of one Handmaid, Offred, who tries to escape from the dark present. The third season is set to premiere in June.
