What to watch next has quickly become the question we've asked ourselves most often in the past few weeks. Thankfully, with new services like Quibi and free access to HBO, we haven't had to worry too much about what we'll watch after Tiger King

This week though, something special is coming to your nearest streaming device. It's been only two months since Parasite won Best Picture at the Oscars, but the film is already available for streaming on Hulu. 

The lauded film from Korean director Bong Joon-ho tells the story of a poor Seoul family that infiltrates a super-rich one. As we wrote in our five-star review of the film, "Parasite plays upon primal, age-old themes that never lose appeal: inequality, class, manners and how we behave to protect what’s ours (or to gain that which we believe should be ours) ... and moments of pure terror, quiet observation and baroque comedy sit happily alongside each other. Impressively, the film never jars you as it glides from one state of being to the next.

At the Academy Awards, the suspense-filled comedy/thriller/social satire became the first foreign film to pick up the coveted prize for Best Picture. Bong also went home with statues for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best International Feature Film.
