I Use Hulu - Reluctantly

Hulu

I reviewed Hulu a while back. It’s a solid site and does what it claims to do very well: serve up videos.

I say reluctant because I am still rather miffed that NBC pulled its content out of iTunes and put its content on Hulu late last year. There is a very specific reason why this corporate move hit home: Battlestar Galactica.

I was hoping NBC would relent and return BSG to iTunes now that I have Apple TV and am all set and ready for it. Unfortunately Hulu put a wrinkle in that plan.

But in addition to BSG, Hulu has other content I’m tempted by: old episodes of “classic” Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, feature-length movies, and all seasons of Arrested Development, a show recommended to me by several.

So Hulu, congrats, you have the content, so I’ll visit your site. But I’m not exactly happy about it.

Disclosure: I own a tiny amount of Apple stock.
