Hulu is one of the most well-rounded streaming services with a diverse library, but its slate of comedies and dramedies is its strongest asset. The streamer has delivered hits like Only Murders in the Building, The Bear, and The Great, all in the past five years. And looking ahead, the future seems bright for the streamer, as some of the aforementioned shows return for new seasons, while new shows like Not Suitable for Work make their mark. However, one of the best comedy shows on Hulu is an underrated hit show that just returned for an even stronger second season.
This show can be described as The Sopranos, but with a comedic twist. It is funny, sharp, and well-acted. With a 98% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, it remains one of the top-rated shows on Hulu. Titled Deli Boys, the comedy just aired its second season, which has scored a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The six-episode season has pushed the show up the streamer’s global charts, making it one of the most-streamed shows according to FlixPatrol. Additionally, it is also available on Disney+, where it has replicated that same success.
Deli Boys follows two brothers, Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Sagar Shaikh), who inherit their family business after their father’s death. However, they learn that what they thought was a successful deli business was actually a well-oiled drug operation. The brothers find themselves entangled with the business under the guidance of their aunt, Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan). Season 2 finds them facing a money problem when they become too good at their job and need a money launderer. Still, in this line of work, law enforcement is always circling, and competitors use any means at their disposal to corner the market. The trio’s attempt to solve these issues gives birth to a hilarious comedy.

🦁 Gryffindor
You have nerve. Not the reckless kind, but the deep, quiet courage that shows up even when you’re terrified — especially then.

You are resourceful, strategic, and you play the long game.
You know your worth. You protect your own fiercely.
The dungeon common room with its view of the Black Lake is yours — and the ambitions that will take you further than anyone expects are yours too.

What Did Critics Say About ‘Deli Boys’ Season 2?
While critics loved everything about the season, they felt like it was too short. With four fewer episodes, the show delivers a two-hour comedic experience that leaves viewers wanting more. Collider’s Tania Hussain said it “remains one of the funniest and most distinctive shows to come out of streaming,” in her review of Deli Boys Season 2. ScreenRant‘s Angel Shaw noted the short episode count but praised the show for not caving under the pressure of a shorter runway, calling the writing “great.” Nandini Balial of RogerEbert echoed the other critics, calling it “rich, joyous, and one of the funniest shows of the year.” Deli Boys was created by Abdulla Saeed.
