Hulu without commercials costs 12$/month: https://www.hulu.com/nocommercials

It's really a content issue for me as last few times I checked they had nothing worth watching that I have not already seen.

Even with the upcharge there are simply less commercials on hulu, not zero. So says their FAQ - https://help.hulu.com/s/article/included-in-no-commercials-p...

A small number of shows are not included in our No Commercials Add-on. You can still watch these shows, however, they will play with a short commercial before and after each episode.

While the list of shows may change, they are currently: Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, Grimm, New Girl, and How To Get Away With Murder.

And then on top of that it's a wasteland content-wise as you stated.

Fair enough.

It's not eye bleed territory, but it would piss me off if I had any interest in watching those shows and paying for a 'commercial free' experience.
