But that's not the only hit Hulu has had recently. "Harlots," Hulu's edgy historical drama about an 18th century brothel owner, is sitting at a 97% on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Though Hulu has been making original shows for a few years, these are its two top-rated shows by critics - and they came out less than a month apart.

Hulu, whose main value has been "next-day" episodes of blockbuster TV shows, is having a moment right now with its originals. On Wednesday, the company finally launched its $40-a-month competitor to cable TV. So it's a good time to take stock of Hulu's catalog of original material, and see which ones you might have missed.

To give you a full picture of how Hulu shows stack up against each other, we turned to Rotten Tomatoes, which pulls in critic (and audience) reviews from all over the world. We excluded Hulu originals that had less than four critic reviews.

Here are Hulu's 12 original shows, ordered from worst to best:
