Hulu has quietly become the streaming home of several high-quality British comedies that most American viewers just haven't managed to discover yet, despite those of us in the media yelling about them fairly regularly.

On paper, Doctor Who meets Eurovision feels like an unbeatable premise. An over-the-top, purposefully high-camp event, with flashy outfits that may or may not light up, coordinated dance numbers, and dedicated fanbases waging voting campaigns should result in an hour that's fun, if nothing else, and it seems
