Hulu’s Battleground: True Television Democracy

A great cast, with great chemistry.

If this is sign of things to come in terms the level of quality of Hulu’s original programming, than we’re all in luck.  The world of television changing for the better.  It’s good to see that the days of wasted channels (the ocho) and junk-food television consumption are coming to an end.  If more companies like Hulu and Netflix start to provide quality material like Battleground, we’re on the way to some real television Democracy… And that’s just awesome.

Netflix raises prices and the internet gathers their pitchforks

Evil Capitalists?

Red Vs. Blue: How Netflix Ended Corporate Tyranny

It was something we all accepted, because that’s just how it worked. Sure, we all questioned the logic, but we did nothing to challenge it. My family of course, learned about Blockbuster the hard way.
