Netflix or Hulu?

Assuming you could only justify the expense for one of these and use, say, your tablet and sound bar to watch TV episodes and movies, which service is better?

I'm currently using Netflix, but I'm considering making the switch to Hulu if it's worth the extra couple bucks.

Series I enjoy:

The Good Wife
(Netflix
does not
have)
Pawn Stars
(Netflix
does not
have)
The Blacklist
(Netflix has)
Law & Order flavors
(Netflix only has SVU)
LOST (Netflix has)
Person of Interest (Netflix has)
The Practice (Netflix
does not
have)
House of Cards (Netflix exclusive?)
Daredevil (Netflix has)
Iron Fist (Netflix has)
InkMasters (Netflix
does not
have)
Family Guy (Netflix has)
Alphas (Netflix has)
Lie to Me (Netflix has)
NCIS (Netflix has)
NCIS: Los Angeles (Netflix
does not
have)

My primary concerns are the underlined titles. The other stuff should be replaceable if they're not shared between services.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Too much hassle, rather just stick with one subscription.

I'll go look at my Hulu in a min to see if they have those shows. One thing that bugs me about Hulu is that they don't always have all the reasons of a show. Hulu does have The Path which I really like, the first 3 seasons of Black Sails and the first 4 seasons of Homeland. Netflix will obviously have greater movie divesity though.

they have 7 seasons of the good wife

but they only have the 7th and 8th season of pawnstars

they have 3 seasons of the practice

I couldn't find inkmasters or NCIS

but they do have some of the other CBS cop shows like CSI and Blue Bloods. Anything else you want me to look up?

I have the limited commercial one and its only 7.99 a month. You could always get it, binge watch what you want and the switcg back.

I quit using Hulu when they went to the paid only model and went with Netflix because Netflix never tried a bait/switch tactic with their marketing, luring people in with free to hook them, then demanding they pay.

I was willing to reconsider if they had a better library, but their unwillingness to even carry a full history of shows answers my question for me.

I guess I'll stick with alternative sites for the shows Netflix doesn't carry.

Netflix just released hidden gem 13 Reasons Why from the acclaimed executive producer Selena Gomez and director Tom McCarthy.
Sup, later.

I've been watching Gotham on Netflix.

When I was a boy reading Batman comics back in the 80's, he seemed to be in his thirties. That would place the timeline for Gotham somewhere in the late 50's-60's.

So... what the fuck are people doing with cell phones?

So... been watching DC's Legends of Tomorrow on Netflix.

Here's a breakdown on how the show seems to be designed to pander to viewers:

It's entertaining and well-acted.

It's not great story-wise.

Take it if you enjoy it or drop it if you don't.

No loss either way.

It's a good series. Oddities like out of place technology just jump out at me, though.

Electronic vital monitors in the hospital? Flat screen computer monitors? Good for a chuckle.

They are obviously setting it for this time period but I don't really watch it so...

Couldn't you manage both hypothetically? I know you've said no, but in fairness doesn't Netflix offer the chance to reduce costs if it's only 1 device instead of the usual 2/3 simultaneously? It's only a thought, the savings would probably cover half of the Hulu subscription. Personally I've got Netflix and Amazon Prime Video (Hulu isn't a thing in the UK).

just popping in to say netflix is far superior and in the current digital age you should be able to find anything you want for free if not there. If you can't do the latter then I feel sorry for you poor child.

Also, all super hero shit is just propaganda to support American imperialism.

Clothes, hair, automobiles, etc, aren't modern.

Eh, the police cruisers look like they come from the 80s, so there is that.
