Hulu blows. Netflix and amazon are about equal.

I like Hulu the best frankly. I have all 3 at the moment and am about to give Netflix the heave ho.
I watch a lot of television and you usually get new shows within hours of them being on tv. With Netflix it's always last year's stuff.
Netflix movies tend to be the off brand ones no one would watch unless it is on late night cable. Occasionally, they will surprise me its rare. You do get netflix only shows like daredevil or orange but those are that common either.
Amazon Prime...not that great, but I do like it because it has a lot of HBO series that I missed when I dropped cable and you can't go wrong with the free shipping at Christmas time.

Have Prime, Netflix, and just started HBO Now.
Netflix has been the best in terms of stuff for the wife and I to watch.
Prime is where I spend most of my personal time as it has a lot of old HBO shows and some different movies and series like Justified, SOA, Bosch, etc.
HBO Now will end up my go-to for current TV and movies.

I picked it up for GOT and now that GOT is over will be dropping it. For the most part it duplicates what I can get on Amazon Prime.

I don't have Hulu
As of right now, Netflix is my favorite, but they keep dropping more than they add and Amazon is picking up more and dropping less.

I have Netflix right now, but will be getting Hulu when 11/22/63 starts. That was my favorite Stephen King novel.

I have them all. Hulu is good for regular television shows, but there are commercials. Netflix sucks to me. I rarely watch it. Amazon prime has some good original series, free movies, and good rentals. Plus, it's just an extra perk because I already pay for prime. I could probably live without Netflix.

I'd love to drop satellite and go with Netflix/Prime but I'm a sports junkie so it wouldn't do me any good to go that route.
Posted on 6/28/15 at 8:52 pm to pioneerbasketball
I like Netflix. Amazon Prime is awesome for the free two day shipping. I have both, but never use the stream service for Amazon.

Netflix is great for their own shows. Once you're caught up it probably isn't worth it. Lots of crappy weird movies. I'm gonna switch the Amazon soon and then get Netflix again once Bloodline comes back. Which is the greatest show on tv today.

There is a lot of stupid in this thread.

Content wise, Amazon and Netflix aren't too far off. Netflix has had bigger hits with their original programming.
Both have exclusive content and lots of overlap.
Prime interface is horrible. Mixing pay content in with prime content sucks. Need to always make sure that PRIME ONLY box is selected.
Also need to make sure 1 click payment is OFF because even when watching Prime content, there are multiple buy buttons all over the place. Jumping from one monitor to another, I accidentally purchased a few season and episodes before they finally allowed the option to disable 1 click payment from the video portion of their site.
On principle, I'll never pay for a site that runs commercials in the content so HULU Plus won't be part of my lineup. No real reason since you can still watch a few current episodes for free or from the network site.
Having said that, I will still probably end up with Hulu Plus at some point to burn through some BBC shows not on any other service.

I spend probably..80% of my entertainment time on Amazon Prime.
The 15% on Netflix
the other 5% on hulu
To me it's not about price but about available content. For instance, I had the urge to watch the godfather friday night. Dammit i'm willing to pay 3 dollars to watch the godfather RIGHT NOW. Any movie I can just about think of I can watch some way on Amazon.
I like netflix's docu's and their original content stuff is good and the west wing.
I watch Hulu just for american greed and a few random Investigative discovery shows like women on death row and stuff like that

I have all three.I pay for Netflix and Hula.I use my Sister's Amazon.
Netflix is the most user-friendly.
Hula seems to have the most older TV Shows,including Cartoons.It will also go to the next Episode automatically which is good for putting it on for kids.
I haven't used Amazon enough to have an opinion.
You Tube on the TV is the best to me.TV Shows.Full Episodes.Old,hard to find Movies.Unlimited Documentaries,which is what I watch the most.
