Poll of the Day > For the first time, is Hulu better than Netflix?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Netflix just erased a huge amount of stuff from their catalog and Hulu picked a bunch of it up. This is Hulu best current line up:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: All seasons
Angel: All seasons
Firefly: Full Series
The Shield: All seasons
Samurai Jack: all seasons
Rick and Morty: All seasons
South Park: All seasons
Seinfeld: All seasons
Cowboy Bebop: Full series
Samurai Champloo: Full series
Scrubs: All seasons
Rescue Me: All Seasons
Sons of Anarchy: All seasons
Smallville: All seasons
Louie: All seasons

the only things worth watching in that list are cowbow beboo and samcham

You forgot smallville all seasons.

Which is why I switched to Hulu personally.

You named your cat Butters and you don't like South Park?

When I had money troubles in December, Hulu gave me a free month when I went to cancel. Netflix didn't. Today I still have Hulu and haven't renewed Netflix.

Thanks for the heads up on Bebop, I think it was sub only last I checked.

Smallville is ****in' awful.

It really got pretty bad in the later seasons but the first few seasons werent that bad. Maybe it was my nostalgia (I was a freshman when the show started and followed Clark throughout high school) but it was pretty good for a WB show (or anything comic book related) back then

What did Netflix get rid of? Can I see a list?

That's true. I think it got bad around the introduction of Lois (though it had nothing to do with her character, just the timing). I initially liked the show because (and somehow this is a surprise to people) Clark and Lex began the show as friends but as a viewer, you know that's not gonna last. It was interesting to see what was gonna destroy their relationship. But man, that became a ****show fast.

None of those matter to me

Some good shows and movies but I feel like things come and go on netflix.

If they get rid of the office or something then I'll be angry

Doesn't matter when you have both

I thought about getting Hulu for the Stargate series. I never watched all of it but still enjoyed watching certain episodes.
---

I do wish Netflix had Seinfeld but I can live without it. some of the Originals on Netflix are really good recently like 3%, 13 Reasons Why, Stranger Things. Girl Boss is pretty good. And of course OINB.

i honestly don't remember how his name became butters

the actual name he has is Daxter.

and it just..became butters, somehow.

and now you mention it, he does act an awful lot like Butters now, too.

I'm not subscribed to either but Netflix is going to be restarting a new MSTK 3000 soon so by default it annihilates Hulu.

Yeah at this point the Netflix oringals are the only thing drawing me back. I share a Netflix account with a friend but if it weren't the case, I wouldn't have Netflix. That being said, I could always rent Netflix for a couple months in the future and binge watch Stranger Things / daredevil / Jessica Jones / etc

Netflix is very overrated. It's good, but overrated.

Hulu does have The Handmaid's Tale coming out soon which looks amazing

This. It's still way better than Hulu though. Amazon Prime is about on par with Netflix now, it's just that their navigation is abysmal and it doesn't have quite as much content.

No.

nah they have a ton of content but lock the best ones behind another paywall (fresh prince of bel air, two and a half men) it can easily beat both hulu and netflix if they just go for more licenses (they can def afford it but are being cheapos)

Amazon Prime is primarily for two-day shipping, and not having to spend hours getting an order to exactly $50. Watching that Nazi show and The Tick is just a bonus.

you're rightm I just read this:

http://www.gadgetreview.com/amazon-prime-vs-amazon-instant-video

So it seems like prime is just insta video but better, with greater perks as you said. I didn;t know it (insta video) was THAT limited and different

It's getting there. Some movies I liked on Netflix that were removed are now on Hulu.

It was a good read. Loved the ending.
---

Think it's out already I started to watch the first episode (think it was the first...maybe it was a preview?), by accident when trying to watch smallville yesterday.

What is it about? Thought it was a chick flick and jumped out of it right away.
---

Hulu has more content and gets things released much sooner, but... the ADS.
