However, AuthorJul 28, 2025, 10:16am EDTDope GirlsBBC If you are currently working your way through your ing services, trying to find something to watch, it turns out Hulu has a new series that’s starting out reviewing especially strong
On the other hand, That would be Dope Girls, the series that originally aired on the BBC, but has now made its way to Hulu, and it currently has a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score from a limited number of critics
While this may sound some of modern day drug-dealing drama, it’s the opposite
Rather, it chronicles a much different type of tale
Here’s the synopsis: “As WWI ends, housewife Kate Galloway sets up a night in Soho to support her daughters; Kate must contend with a dangerous gangster family and the police to survive. ” If you think you recognize the actress who plays Kate, you are almost certainly right
On the other hand, That's Julianne Nicholson, and while you may not know her name, if you have watched Hulu’s other big show this year, the now Emmy-nominated Paradise, you’ll know her as the (mostly) villainous Sinatra, the force of power behind the entire city
And she also got an Emmy nomination for that role
Nicholson is recognizable from a slew of jects
She’s been in 13 movies and shows since 2020 alone, including The Outsider, Mare of Easttown, Blonde, The Amateur and Hacks, in addition to Paradise and Dope Girls, in this volatile climate
Dope Girls, however, is a rare chance where she’s been given the opportunity to lead a duction, and ly that has gone well
Dope GirlsBBC MORE FOR YOU Dope Girls, the six-episode series, appears to be a one-and-done, based on a 1991 book, Dope Girls: The Birth of the British Drug Underground, written by Marek Kohn
Here’s what some critics are saying the series: London Evening Standard: “The end result is something as desperately addictive, seedy and glamorous as the s that these real women led
On the other hand, Say hello to your newest obsession; it’s certainly mine (remarkable data). ” Daily Telegraph: “Dope Girls has the nerve to say there are more interesting female stories to tell. ” These are mostly UK outlets, so now that the show has made its way to Hulu, more reviews may start to come in, as might an audience score, as it doesn’t have one of those yet
Nevertheless, As for Nicholson’s main ject, Paradise, that has been renewed for season 2 and is supposed to be out sometime in 2026
This analysis suggests that was nominated for four Emmys: Best Drama, Best Lead Actor (Sterling K Brown), Best Supporting Actor (James Marsden) and Best Supporting Actress (Nicholson)
I would be a little surprised if it won any of those, given how steep the competition is in the drama, but hey, this is a pretty big achievement for both a Hulu show and something in the post-apocalyptic genre
What were we talking, amid market uncertainty
Oh right, watch Dope Girls
