Hulu is an on-demand video service available in the U.S. and Japan that allows users to stream popular TV shows. Hulu has successfully positioned itself as one of the most popular streaming services around, with over 43.8 million users as at October 2nd, 2021.

Hulu focuses primarily on streaming newer TV shows from many popular network broadcasters, original content, blockbuster and independent films, and documentaries, that’s loaded if you ask me. One reason Hulu is a must have.
What Makes Hulu Fantastic
Below are some of the reasons why the Hulu streaming service is a top-notch platform to catch up with the latest movies, episodes, TV shows and series, etc.
1. Quick Updates on New Episodes
We know how exciting it can be when a new episode of your favourite show or series just drops and you are carried along as e dey hot, with no spoilers from people who had already seen it earlier.
Hulu does that for you, it updates their platform with new episodes of TV shows as quickly as a day after they are aired. This is very quick compared to Netflix that updates TV shows once the season is completed.
2. Quality Original Programming
Hulu has a lot of original content that is known to be great. One of the most recognizable Hulu originals is The Handmaid’s Tale, but there is a lot more to choose from.
Why Hulu is a Turn off for most People
Hulu has it downside as well. And we found the following as some of the reasons why people find the Hulu service as a turn off.
1. Frequent Commercials
We won’t even mince words, as we all know that frequent commercials interrupting a show can be pretty annoying. If you don’t opt for the “no ads” add-on, you are going to be shown clips of ads before and after each video.
2. Small Selection Comparatively
Hulu has a much smaller collection of content compared to Netflix and other competing platforms. While Netflix has over 100,000 movies and TV shows, Hulu offers just above 5000.
3.Limited Downloading Ability
Hulu got to add the ” watch offline” feature in October 2019 and currently only lets you download on iOS and iPadOS, which means with other devices, you cannot watch offline.
4. No simple pricing scheme
Although some customers prefer to have various payment options, many others find Hulu’s pricing plans a little complicated. Also, Hulu increased their prices recently and they are higher than other competing services, well unless you subscribe to the basic plan.
Fire TV on the other hand is a video streaming device first released by Amazon in 2014 that now has five different models. Fire TV has a remote control with Alexa-powered voice recognition.
Fire TV works by plugging in your TV and using the internet to stream entertainment content.
