Hulu’s ‘Fresh’ Review – One of Us

Join the One of Us crew for their Fresh review. The horror rom-com is on Hulu now.

The horrors of online and app dating are well documented in films. So, when T.C., Matt, Alan, and Drew sat down for a lovely meal to discuss this new offering from Hulu, none of them were quite sure what to expect.

Much like a Tinder profile, the trailer didn’t reveal enough to form a full idea of what exactly the Squad was going to get. Would it be romantic? Weird? Cute? Or, with the subtle hints given in sexy, flashing images, would there be a thrilling night in our futures?

What is served up here, with Mimi Cave’s directorial debut, ended up surprising the whole gang. Fresh shows us the horrors of modern dating seen through one young woman’s defiant battle to survive her new boyfriend’s unusual desires.

This satirical black comedy thriller gives us Daisy Edgar-Jones as Noa, a young woman trying her hand at online dating, who has become increasingly disillusioned with dates due to the men she interacts with not having general decency. One day at the supermarket, a man named Steve (The Winter Solider‘s Sebastian Stan) flirts with her and they exchange numbers. The two quickly hit it off and a wonderful, cute relationship begins.

The Fresh Review

It’s practically impossible to talk about the twists and turns in the movie without spoiling it, so what the Squad offers here is a spoiler-free review followed by a frank discussion on everything the movie has to offer. Do the guys swipe left or right on Fresh? Well, they don’t kiss and tell… except they totally do.
