Netflix or Hulu Plus

75.187.164.248

Thinking about going with one or the other (not both).
I use to be a Netflix DVD subscriber. The availability of content was impressive. This time ... I signed up for a free trial of streaming only ... not so impressed with the content. Seems like the "Available on DVD only" is coming up too often. If I have to wait for a DVD ... might as well get it from the Library or new movie selection from Redbox.
According to Criterion's website ... over 800 Criterion movies are available of Hulu Plus ... now that's tempting ... really like Criterion releases.
Anybody using or tried both services? Comments?

Netflix is great for binge-watching some really great TV series, and 'House Of Cards' alone (a Netflix original series) is worth at least a one month subscription. Agree on the feature film selection though.

  I'm on a trial subscription to Netflix now but haven't watched House of Cards ... don't want to get hooked and sway my decision. I'll probably go with Hulu due to Criterion selection.

    You can knock out two seasons in 30 days; it's a fantastic show. The Killing is another must-see. Even two months it's only $16.00...money well-spent.
