How does Hulu compare to Netflix?

Hulu's key advantage over Netflix is next-day network TV episodes, making it essential for cord-cutters following current shows. Netflix has no live or network TV and focuses entirely on on-demand content. For original series, Netflix has a larger and more global catalog, while Hulu's Originals (The Handmaid's Tale, Only Murders in the Building) are strong but fewer. Many people subscribe to both for complementary reasons.
