On Demand
Hulu’s major strength is its on demand library of movies and shows. You will get access to their full streaming library, which means full seasons from networks like FX (“What We Do In the Shadows,” “Atlanta,” “Fargo”) and ABC (“Abbott Elementary,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Modern Family”). Hulu’s movie library includes hits like “Prey,” “Parasite,” and “Moneyball.”
One frustrating part of Hulu’s on demand content is that the ads are exceedingly long (~3 minutes). If you want to remove commercials, you can eliminate ads from Hulu and Disney+ for another $13/month.
Parental Controls
To use parental controls with Hulu Live TV, you need to create a user profile with “Kids Mode” enabled.
DIRECTV STREAM and Sling TV also have parental control features.
Hulu Originals Feature
Hulu Live TV users get access to Hulu’s original content like “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “Pam & Tommy,” “The Bear,” and “The Patient.”
The Hulu documentary section is a special treat.
Commercial-Free On Demand Feature
