Resident Advisors is a Hulu original television series that aired in 2015. The series follows a group of RAs (resident advisors) and their antics in their dorm, Hutcherson Dorm at Thoreau College. Across this short series we see the RAs getting into tricky situations with their residents, such as throwing a party at the dorm to raise awareness about and combat binge drinking, trying to promote safe sex practices but handing out condoms that have been stapled to a board, and throwing a wing event with a motivational speaker who you don't to motivate college students. Each episode of the series leads up to a fire that occurs in the brand new $160 million dorm, which we see occur in the penultimate episode. We see Olivia (the resident director of Hutcherson, played by Jamie Chung) being framed for the fire, while the other resident advisors and some of the students share their versions of the events leading up to the fire. Olivia and Doug (a 30 year old, 11 year veteran RA played by Ryan Hansen) had spent that night together in Doug's room, and Amy (RA played by Alison Rich) ended up filming the culprit red handed while sitting outside Olivia's room waiting to prank her. Marissa (Doug's obsessive ex, played by Vanessa Lengies) started the fire in Olivia's room to get back at her for seemingly having great chemistry with Doug. The series ends with this video evidence coming to light and Marissa being arrested, while the rest of our cast returns to their jobs/lifes/antics.
