16 years after the comic book series ended, the television adaptation of "Preacher" arrived on television. The TV version deviates a bit from the source material and modernizes the characters, but the changes are for the better. The complete first season arrives on Hulu starting on April 5.

Hulu also continues to beef up its movie catalog. Which should you watch in April? How about the original "Robocop" from 1987? The film can easily be dismissed as an ultraviolent '80s action movie. However, it is a great satire. "Robocop" even won an Academy Award for Best Sound Editing.

Check out the full list below. Titles with an asterisk require an additional subscription.
