Hulu and Chill? Not So Much: How to Block Those Shows You Can't Escape (Unless You Have a Ninja Scroll Technique)
Let's face it, we've all been there. You excitedly open Hulu, ready to unwind with your favorite show, only to be bombarded by recommendations for...well, let's just say they wouldn't win an Oscar for most aesthetically pleasing content. Maybe it's that weird reality show you accidentally clicked on once out of morbid curiosity (don't judge, we've all been there). Or perhaps it's that show your significant other is obsessed with, but you just can't stomach (looking at you, shows about competitive pie-eating). Whatever the reason, those pesky recommendations are like a digital stalker, refusing to be ignored.
Fear not, fellow streamers! There is a way to banish these unwanted shows to the deepest corners of the Huluverse. But before we delve into the how-to, let's address the elephant in the room:
Why Can't You Just Block Specific Shows, Hulu?
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
Honestly, that's a question we should be asking Hulu themselves. Maybe they're secretly hoping these questionable recommendations will spark a new viewing addiction in you. Who knows? But whatever their reasoning, we, the freedom-loving streamers, deserve the right to curate our Hulu experience.
Alright, Alright, Enough with the Conspiracy Theories. How Do I Block These Shows?
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
Now we're talking! While Hulu doesn't offer a "block specific show" button (yet!), there are a couple of ways to wrangle those rogue recommendations:
- Create a Kids Profile (Because Sometimes, We All Need a Break): This might sound extreme, but hear me out. Kids profiles offer a safe haven of content curated for, well, kids. This means no more questionable reality shows or dramas filled with enough angst to power a small city. Just pure, unadulterated fun (and maybe some educational stuff, but hey, you learn something new every day, right?).
But Wait, I Don't Want to Watch Paw Patrol!
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
No worries! This profile is mainly to trick the algorithm. You can still have your own profile for the grown-up stuff (just don't tell the kids).
- Become a PIN Master (Because Adulting is Hard): This involves setting up PIN protection. Basically, you choose a PIN that acts as a gateway to the shows you actually want to watch. Anyone (or anything, because let's face it, technology can be gremliny sometimes) trying to access your profile without the PIN will be met with a stern "Nope, not today!" message.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.

We've all been there. Maybe write it down and hide it somewhere inconspicuous (like behind that family photo you never updated). Or, you know, train a goldfish to remember it for you. Just kidding (mostly).
