(18,366 posts)I was under the old plan, and they raised the price by $2/mo. What I like are the Marvel Universe shows (Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Daredevil and the upcoming Defenders, Iron Fist, and Punisher). They also get the Disney movies several months after DVD release. They have many classic series such as Breaking Bad. Also one year delayed on The Walking Dead. Lots of older Showtime series (Penny Dreadful, Dexter).
I prefer Netflix to Hulu. I have a free month subscription to Hulu, and after 11-22-63 and The Exorcist series, I am having a tough time finding series or movies that are not already on Netflix or Amazon Prime. I will probably work my way through the old and new Outer Limits. A few movies (Jackson's King Kong, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Groundhog Day), but after that not much.
As others have said, it does not have new movies. It does get Zootopia, Jungle Book, Captain America Civil War, and the upcoming Finding Dory, Doctor Strange, Rogue One, and other Disney movies.
Do you get $10/mo. value? Since I have Amazon Prime Student at about $4/mo so it still has value. Lots of overlap between Amazon Prime and Hulu.
Blu Ray Redbox at $2/rental vs. Netflix $10/month. Most Amazon HD movies are $4/rental. Of course you get the Amazon rentals before Redbox and long before Netflix. Sometimes your local movie rental place will get them even before Amazon at about a $1/rental less.
Check local library for both online rentals (your phone can be hooked to your television for Hoopla for example) or Overdrive. Our library also has lots of Blu Rays and DVDs.
