All the USA shows have been like that for over a year. It's becoming the standard for broadcast network shows to be delayed a week after it airs before it gets to Hulu but they are available streaming on their own websites the next day. And for cable networks its the first episode of the season next day and then the rest a month to get to Hulu.
It's all because the networks make the cable companies pay ridiculous money for their channels and then in turn the cable companies demand that the networks not compete with them by posting the episodes for "free" too soon after they air. There is literally billions of dollars at stake. But I'm with you, it sucks for the consumer. And the fact the cable companies don't stream the channels on the internet (at least for their subscribers!) is short-sited and shows their lack of innovation.
