  Disagree, prime has a lot of the more niche and interesting shows and movies. Tons of Indy films you can’t find elsewhere like Coherence, a great movie I would never have seen if not for Prime suggesting it.

    Prime has the best depth of random stuff you’d never see otherwise in Sci-Fi and Horror. Aside from that I think AppleTV is the best service out there, right now. Netflix has become such absolute trash over the last several years.

    Prime is how I watched Women Talking and The Lighthouse. I was even going to crack and finally pay to rent The Lighthouse then I saw it was finally free on Prime. They definitely have some niche films.

    I bet you could find em on a torrent site or putlocker.

    If it’s truely indie I bet you could find a way to send em the whole 5 cents they made off your prime view, shit make it a $1

    I have only ever used prime as a last resort. I don’t watch much TV but what’s available through prime is usually pretty bad IMHO. I would go as far as to say if someone goes to prime to watch things like rings of power then they probably have bad taste.

      it has the worst UX in the world where you search for a film, see they have it, then see you have to subscribe to some other shitty service to watch

        Yeah but the pause screen shows you who the actors on screen are.

      Invincible, The Boys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Good Omens, The Expanse, The Wilds, and Fleabag

      All good stuff. Your comment is like me saying HBOmax sucks because Saints of Newark is on it.

        I only recognize the boys from your list and I thought that show was boring

  At least in Canada, it was better than Netflix

  No catalogue is worth the prices here though
