'Not Okay' Review: A Perfect Companion Piece to ‘Nope’
While it initially sounds nothing like 'Nope,' the focus on recording/sharing everything—especially trauma—for profit makes Hulu's 'Not Okay' similar to Jordan Peele’s newest movie.

Society as we know it is dead, the world has changed, and everyone has the choice between adapting immediately or disappearing. A few survivors have taken refuge in a shelter away from outside dangers. Their survival is ensured by a machine that produces electricity, an extremely rare resource in these desolate times. One morning, the group discovers with horror that their machine has been destroyed. The hunting party is on: the six companions must venture outside their shelter and immediately find a cable to operate the machine. This expedition, on which their survival depends, will lead them straight to a mysterious group of individuals who intend to prevent them from returning home.
