I feel like Amazon Prime is the Zune to Netflix's iPod

[MidniteJay]

I should’ve known better when a show from USA Network was getting hyped up. The only good shows they ever had were WWF/E Raw (sucks now) and their Cartoon Express block for Saturday morning cartoons back in the 90s.

First two seasons of The Last Ship were good and so is Colony (on Netflix).

Say what you will but I don't think I've found a show that has particularly gripped me from Amazon. I liked American Gods and Mr Robot, but too much of my praise would go into saying "it's pretty" rather than writing or acting.

That's not to say Netflix is the be all and end all, but I've been more compelled by Black Mirror, 13 Reasons Why and The Crown than any Amazon show. It just kinda sucks cos Amazon has got some hot properties to come out soon, but I give it a second thought and it's like "why should I care really?"

What you saying though?

I have Amazon prime for the free shipping and i've only ever streamed from prime video once but I've watched a lot of Prime programming. I prefer to download my shows. Amazon has some good content.

Shows i've watched and enjoyed in their entirety

Theres a few more shows i have in queue to watch but amazon is stepping up their game, theres a lot of new shows in development and they have a lot of non original content they've licensed.

okay I'll keep letting suckers like you pay for it while I stay getting it free

$10 a month is fair no doubt. I got more than enough money to pay for that. But why pay if you don't have to? I got suckers like you to pay for it for me while I stream for free

What kind of dumbass clowns the very people enabling him to access content "for free"? If nobody paid we'd all be stuck watching local terrestrial TV you broke bytch. The fukk.

Also, ignoring the fact that neither of those shows are Amazon originals.......


NOBODY pays for Prime for the media content. Prime was created in order to give folks the option to pay a flat rate for shipping and an incentive to purchase (often cheaper) products directly from Amazon rather than independent sellers.

Prime Video/originals was merely an added bonus serving as a "thank you for your patronage". It was never meant to be a bonafide streaming service. Where it's at today is simply a sign of Jeff Bezos trying to have his hand in EVERY possible cookie jar.

Both are trash. Why pay for something you can easily download or stream for free?

I like Prime and it’s serviceable when pops don’t pay for Netflix

They have a lot of content especially web series that won’t play on Netflix.

I hate Amazon's interface, especially on the PS3. Each season of a show is listed separately, navigation is clunky and awkward, and finding subbed vs dubbed anime is a pain in the ass too.

They don't have Cowboy Bebop in English? That's one of the most iconic English dubs.

I had a zune. My friends used to clown but i loved it

 

[milkshakespeare]

Amazon has a lot of Japanese horror movies and that’s what I’ve been into lately so I’m pretty satisfied.

I also really like the tick

Neither was/is Black Mirror. All of those shows are in a 'made it a hot song' context to me. Also with Bezos putting his hand everywhere, it seems to me he's trying to make a Netflix killer. I mean Lord of the Rings and the original Top Gear crew (just to start as well)? That sounds like more than just a slight effort

It's not Netflix, but its plenty good enough to justify the cost.

...but The Marvelous Mrs Maisel is fukking great.

The Mr. Robot slander in here


To the topic Man In The High Castle is the only show I watch on Amazon, fiending for it to come back

And from what I've heard its movie selection is better than Netflix.

Lol I should edit my op, I guess it reads like I dislike it. And Man in the High Castle, maybe I should check it out. Just seemed generic (by the cast) to me when it was first advertised
