New Hulu Shows and Movies in January 2023 (3)

Koala Man (Jan. 9)

Say g'day to this animated comedy about an ordinary middle-aged dad named Kevin, who lives in the suburbs and definitely has no superpowers but wears a mask and fights petty crime anyway. Creator Michael Cusack, who also created Adult Swim's Smiling Friends, voices Kevin and a number of the other characters, but don't sleep on the rest of the voice cast, which includes Hugh Jackman as a popular local town councilman named Big Greg; Succession's Sarah Snook as Kevin's wife, Vicky; Jemaine Clement as an ineffectual school principal; and Miranda Otto as a young koala cub. Every other actor from Australia and New Zealand must be so jealous right now. [Trailer]

Riotsville, U.S.A. (Jan. 12)

History repeats itself — or maybe it just never ends — in Riotsville, U.S.A. This well-reviewed 2022 documentary looks back on the social justice movement of the late 1960s and traces how America's police forces militarized in response. Its focus is on fake towns built by the Army, which were used to train police and the military to violently subdue protests. Director Sarah Pettengill uses archival footage and pointed narration to tell a story that has obvious parallels in the present. [Trailer]

Happening (Jan. 22)

What was that about history repeating itself? Acclaimed French drama Happening, which won the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival in 2021, follows a young woman's harrowing search for an abortion in 1963 France. Promising student Anne (Anamaria Vartolomei) sees her life upended by an unwanted pregnancy, and she's willing to upend it again, risking prison or worse, to hold on to the future she once imagined for herself. It's intimate, intense, and unfortunately still entirely timely. [Trailer]

How I Met Your Father Season 2 (Jan. 24)

I watched every episode of How I Met Your Mother— every single one — and despite the powerful disappointment of the series finale and the fact that my brain is fully developed now, I still think about certain HIMYM lines ("They LIVED the Star Wars") once a month minimum. I guess that might help explain how How I Met Your Father, a spin-off(-ish) starring Hilary Duff, took off in Season 1, overcoming middling reviews and the aforementioned famously bad HIMYM finale to find a loyal audience and earn renewal. Marshall and Lily's apartment is just that powerful. [Season 1 trailer]

Extraordinary Season 1 (Jan. 25)

It's a big month for comedies about superpowers on Hulu. Extraordinary stars Máiréad Tyers as Jen, a 25-year-old living in London — a version of London (and the world) where everyone gets a special power on their 18th birthday. Jen, a late bloomer, doesn't have her power yet, so she sets out to activate it. This one looks fun! Derry Girls' Siobhan McSweeney also stars. [Trailer]

The 1619 Project (Jan. 26)

This six-part docuseries builds on the project of the same name from The New York Times Magazine and journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones. Hosted and executive produced by Hannah-Jones, The 1619 Projectreframes American history with a focus on its roots in slavery, exploring how the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans have shaped every aspect of American life. Oprah Winfrey is among the producers. [Trailer]
