EternallDarkness Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 12 months for 99 cents a month...yeah it has ads but for 99 cents I don't give a crap. Mostly wanted to watch Prey, which I have. Wasn't mind blowing but I enjoyed it. But my question is what are some of the top things I should catch up with on hulu?

SoberChef Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I did the same w/ Peacock (1 year/$20) so I'll have access to all the PPV's from WWE over the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, Solar Opposites (if you like Rick & Morty), I enjoyed How I Met Your Father but it’s cancelled so we’ll never get a resolution now, I keep meaning to watch History of the World Part II, Palm Springs is a fun time-loop movie, Dave is a great show but it’s also on FX so you may have seen it already. I also enjoyed Reboot a lot, but it’s canned after only one season because there was basically no advertising for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it’s on Disney+ as well, but the Goosebumps show from last month with Justin Long was better than it had any right to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I have to concur w/ my compatriots on this one, THE BEAR!!! Also, pretty cool to have like Sons of Anarchy for instance available to binge, alongside many of FX's other original series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Always wondered about the ad plan. Does it show you ads throughout the movie or just at the beginning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 For Paramount, typically ONLY at the beginning of a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For movies it's typically a single group of ads at the beginning (a long 4-6 minute group typically), for shows it's throughout for anywhere from 90 seconds to 3 minutes per ad break. (I'm going by Paramount and Peacock) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for TV shows it' basically the same as network tv. 5 hours ago, Spork3245 said: Also, it’s on Disney+ as well, but the Goosebumps show from last month with Justin Long was better than it had any right to be. yeah I watched it D+, was surprised how well done it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 That doesn’t sound too bad then. I wouldn’t be able to handle it if they put ad breaks in during the movie. It would be too reminiscent of cable days where you try watching a movie on network tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be too reminiscent of cable days where you try watching a movie on network tv When Hulu does put ad in the movie, they’re generally nice about it. They’ll front load it so you’ll get a couple breaks in the first half, but then the second half is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Thanks for the heads up, I signed up for this. Not that much on Hulu, but I'll get $12 of value from Fargo Season 5 alone and I will also check out The Bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be too reminiscent of cable days where you try watching a movie on network tv Try watching movies on Plex (the free ones not the ones on your own server) and they put a bunch of ad breaks during the movie. It's not so bad but the worst part is the volume isn't equal so one ad might be super loud compared to the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 My biggest pet peeve is when streaming services have commercials, but they don't line up with the actual commercial breaks in the show. Which is you know, ALL OF THEM, if I'm not mistaken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 99 cents is a great deal, but holy shit, Hulu with ads is painful. At least with Fargo, they're ALWAYS a minute and a half and happen 6? 7? Times throughout the hour show. Even with free youtube, you have the option to skip the longer ones. I still watch live tv for certain things and the commercials don't bug me as much as they do on Hulu. Even with 'Peacock' they seem to throw in a short 30 second ad break every so often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 well I've hit on a few movies now that actually have commercials during the movies which does indeed suck but for only 99 cents I guess I can't complain too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I wish there was a way to get the cheap version of these services with ads, but then pay some nominal fee to watch something without ads. Like, give me ads most of the time, but give me the option to pay an extra 50 cents to watch a movie with no ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE? I signed up for a Peacock $20 buck deal.. didnt know that Wwe was part of the thing… watched Super Mario Bros film on it with no commercials except for the beginning.. Ads definitely show up for Brooklyn 99.. 45 to 60 second variety… Its not bad, but i’ve definitely become an intolerant little shit after spending a few years commercial free with MLS, Hulu and Apple shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I didn’t sign up for anything but Hulu is my most watched channel probably - it’s usually where I turn to when I want something light and comforting, can usually find something, even if that’s just rewatching more Bobs Burgers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I find if you want several in a row, it doesn't get so bad after the first epiosde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
