Hulu Plus. Hear me out! Yes, it has commercials, but so does cable television. If you want to watch TV shows without paying for some bloated cable TV package, Hulu Plus is a pretty great way to do it. There are Comedy Central shows like South Park. And you get stuff week by week, instead of waiting for the season to complete and catching it on Netflix. Wrestling fans also get Raw and Smackdown and a ton of other shows without paying for the WWE Network.
Another perk of Hulu is their business model. See, Netflix has to actively pay for and license programming. Meaning that if something isn't financially worth it, they drop it from their network. Hulu basically doesn't have to pay for obscure shows. They slap them online for no money down, then take a cut of the advertising. That's why you can get really obscure horror flicks and Korean dramas and all kinds of strange stuff on Hulu that no streaming video company in their right mind would pay for. They have nothing to lose.
tl;dr: Hulu Plus will never replace or even compete with Netflix, but it does a great job supplementing it.

However I want it to be noted that the WWE Network is baller as hell and also is totally worth the money if you're a wrestling fan.
I also am a fan of Hulu Plus and tv shows are the reason why.
