A brave new world of confusion

The newest Hulu release is baffling! Did these guys even user test this at all? You cannot (easily) see when NEW EPISODES are released! Pretty much the main feature of the service and major competitive advantage over Netflix is that they get a constant stream of the content you love from TV with 24 hours, and yet inexplicably they decided to obscure this information behind a wall of menus and undesired show recommendations.

My fear is that Hulu read data about its users lack of browsing or show diversity and decided to force this new (crappy) user experience on us all because we simply werent "doing Hulu right" by only watching show sin our queue or something. Lame. I guess that theorys better than the "Cool colors is the new usable" theory for how this junk heap made it past alpha testing, though. At least greed is a viable motive.

Having this bad update on all platforms (the TV version is WAY worse) is especially frustrating because: A) Hulu used to rock (the app and its interface, that is) B) the content is still good C) I updated to some fancy new Hulu version

Anyway... Hulu... I got cable again. Thanks for sucking!
