This sucks, especially if you're not from the U.S. I still can't seem to access Hulu from Canada.

The announcement on Hulu's blog pretty much implies they won't be streaming AMC shows the day after they air on television. So you'll have to wait at least until the season ends:

People acting like Hulu is Hitler my god. Half the time the ads are 30 seconds. And more importantly I sort of like the breaks. Gives me time to answer a text or grab a drink without pausing the show.
I pay for Hulu and Netflix. 20 bucks a month and I can watch pretty much every show I want.

I'm okay with that, most of these shows are better for streaming anyway.

Good on Amazon for getting in with Orphan Black before this new exclusive, future deal.

Well good thing the good AMC shows are over with (well mad men almost)
Why would Hulu change when people like you are content to pay money for a a sub-standard viewing experience.

Hulu is the shitty advertisement-stuffed version of Netflix with less compelling content.
How very unfortunate.

I dont think you have to worry about that since there is no Hulu in Europe and this deal only covers the united states.

I only care deeply about this if they only keep the five most recent episodes or some bullshit. If they keep all the episodes, it's fine

If this is only for New shows, as opposed to existing shows being removed/not receiving updated seasons then I don't care. I still get cable and if they can keep showing interesting shows I will keep DVRing (and paying for it).
Well... If they're Hulu Plus exclusive, it looks like I won't be watching anymore AMC shows.
I've stopped paying for commercials. They interrupt the flow of the episode, I don't like it, and I'm not going to pay for that viewing experience.
Netflix + HBO Now + Antenna & HTPC DVR is MORE than enough for me for me to watch.
Your loss AMC. Hulu Plus sucks with it's commercials.

I'd like the shows I watch and enjoy to continue having a long life and existence, as opposed to being pirated to death.
EDIT: It's also still way better and cheaper than cable.
This, Seinfeld, and the Turner deal. Hulu's making some big moves.

I would never use Hulu even if i was able to leech off a plus account.

The level of filmmaking in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is too high to accept commercial breaks.

fuck amc and fuck hulu

I swear it's like the comments are devolving as this thread goes on.
People like Hulu because it has currently airing television shows.
Why does this need to be explained in every Hulu-related thread?

This isn't gonna interfere with the Better Call Saul Netflix deal outside of the US, right? That would be pretty shitty.
Fuck the haters, this is great news. Not getting new episodes of AMC shows was one of the few huge gaps in content for cordcutters.
Even if this were Netflix instead of Hulu they wouldn't get new episodes the day after they air like Hulu (at least in the US).
I am quite pleased.

Ok, fair enough. The other article you linked to implied the opposite.
Isn't that sort of the inevitability of cord cutting? A sort of ala carte streaming syndication model where you pick and choose what services you want. And of course that wouldn't be just one service, but multiple services competing against each other.

Oh great, first South Park now Netflix's going to loose Cartoon Network shows which most likely includes Adult Swim shows. Damn you Hulu!

I don't really mind the commercials on Hulu, but I hate that they added them to Party Down.
Have they added (more) commercial breaks to any other shows?

It's still better than cable.
Yes, it includes Adult Swim
In the future? This has been the reality from Day 1. Netflix only ever carried 10-20% of what was on television.

Not only do they still play ads, if you fall behind on a show they sometimes remove early episodes of the current season you are watching.. incredibly irritating.
Hulu has different content than Netflix/Prime. Like...episodes the day after they air on TV.

Most of the people complaining about hulu haven't looked at Hulu in the last year or two, I suspect. All stream services = same in their minds (unless its a channel specific stream).
I rather wait a year and watch it on Netflix/prime than put up with ads. Netflix/prime have plenty of good content to keep me busy in the meanwhile. People shouldn't be supporting Hulu unless they want an ad-filled future.

Yeah with Netflix/Hulu/Amazon basically splitting the major cable network rights, I think I'm going to stick with a standard provider and utilize their on-demand service. Sure I'll miss out on exclusives like Orange is the new Black and Community, but at least I'll get ALL the cable networks on one platform.

Only in price.
Hulu ads = 30 - 90 seconds tops
Cable Commercial Break = 3 - 5 minutes
Everyone complaining about Hulu ads must enjoy waiting a year for their shows to come on Netflix, or buying them separately on blu-ray. I will take Hulu's ad break over cable's endless onslaught any day.
You want something to complain about with Hulu? Try how some shows only keep a certain number of episodes on the services at a time, so if you don't watch for a few weeks you could be fucked as episodes drop off.
