I watched the Hardy Boys on HULU...I really enjoyed it...I reccomend it to those who like shows

with young people in them...it was a good mystery. I also liked Nancy Drew on CW and Enola Holmes (Sherlocks' sister). The Outsider was one of the best adaptations of a Stephen king book ever.(mini series) I highly recommend the book as well. Anyone else watch anything good?

an app choice on my blue ray box (have a list/choice of about 50 or so apps, how do I add Hulu?)...I even subscribed to Hulu thinking that it would be a breeze to get into Hulu...nope. No luck at all, kind of irritating. Oh well, maybe one day...

Charter (for my computer), but I look especially forward to viewing Hulu, other platforms far more easier than the options I have now. I do have a pretty old blue box, that more than likely, the intelligence is pretty old so it is time to upgrade to a new box. Roku, from what I analyze, seems pretty niffy, and pretty straight forward to hook up. Hopefully roku isn't too expensive (of course depends on your usage of various platforms).

I just looked on Amazon and the first two listed are 29 and 33$ and will be fine.

Get Locast (free..donaton) for local channels, not nationwide yet. Check for your city

called Riverdale is very good. I liked it. Hope they have a second season. Well I checked Nancy Drew does have a second season with a third planned you can stream it on CW on ROKU and other streamers for free...there were 11 episodes when I checked on the computer. You watch commercial but no account needed or password or money!
