Amazon Prime - Any Recommendations?

[matt72582]

I just signed up to see something (that I already saw) and still have 29 days left, so if someone has a recommendation, I'd be interested. Thanks!

[TONGO]

I just got an an Amazon Prime free trial cuz I wanted to watch The Night Manager with Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston. It was a great six-part series, and Im very impressed with the lineup Amazon Prime has and all the different programming. It seems a cut above Netflix and what they have to offer.

Currently I'm watching the 3 part series of Agatha Christies "The ABC Murders" with John Malkovich, and it's even better.

I'll be subscribing to Prime.

I believe The Expanse is on Prime. If you're into Sci-Fi drama, this may be one of the greatest shows I've seen. I mean neck and neck with Battlestar Gallactica (reboot), if not passing it. I couldn't get into it the first attempt. It was slow to build. But the second time I tried I couldn't put it down.

If you haven't seen Fleabag, jump all over that. Just twelve episodes, forever, but they're wonderful.

The Expanse, but only if you like Sci-Fi.

I watched like 10 or 15 minutes of The Expanse and it's soooo sci-fi, I've found I enjoy most sci-fi when it's just a coat of paint and not like the complete product. I hope that makes sense. Star Trek and Star Wars are exceptions, Star Wars is more like Fantasy Sci-Fi. The Expanse does seem like a great production though and I'll probably give it another shot later on.

Co-sign!

Oh.The Boys. Funny anti-hero run.

[Yoda]

Yeah, pretty decent. I'm not sure if it quite strikes the right tone but it's pretty good. If you watch the first 20 minutes of the first episode of The Boys, at least, you'll probably know if you should continue.

Amazon prime has a great selection of films, better then Netflix. A much more varied selection of older films. I’ve had it for over a year now and stream from it almost exclusively now.

[TONGO]

I just finished Agatha Christie's Ordeal by Innocence on Amazon Prime with Bill Nighey and Harry Treadaway, and it was as good as The ABC Murders.

Trying to decide next between Jack Ryan, Vikings, The Man in the High Castle, Fleabag, Sneaky Pete, or Goliath.

I should try and break the binge viewing pattern and watch an episode of each. That's old school, and I dont know if I've the discipline to do it lol!

[John-Connor]

^ Vikings..

[John McClane]

The Expanse
The Expanse
And did I mention The Expanse?

Seriously, even if you hate sci-fi you need to watch it.

I would also suggest The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel if you like to laugh.

Yeah, maybe take in 1-2 of each then decide. I enjoyed Vikings for 3 seasons I think. I was actually impressed. Slightly less epic than Game of Thrones, but over all I enjoyed it more I think.

A lot of people seem to like Jack Ryan. I watched both seasons but I could take it or leave it. It was weird watching Jim Halpert in that role. Too, John Krasinski has maybe 3 acting emotions from what I can see. Others love it though, so definitely check it out.

I'd be curious what you end up choosing and your thoughts when you get to them all :)

Thanks for the tip re Ordeal By Innocence. Bill Nighy is one of my favorites.

Overall The Man in the High Castle is very well done, plus if you get hooked, there are 40 episodes!

Whoops. Turns out I already watched Ordeal By Innocence last year. It's good Christie. It's the kind of thing that the Brits do very well.

I didn't even notice the OP post date! But, to my (our?) defense TONGO is only a few days old with his follow-up :p

I am blushing though.... gosh.

[TONGO]

I just did a search to see if there were already any Amazon Prime threads made before making one.

[Optimus]

Vikings.

[TONGO]

Vikings.
Gotta agree. I'm finishing up season 3 right now.

[TONGO]

Well I finished Vikings, great show, but wished all my favorite characters would stop dying off.

Now watching The Boys. Garth Ennis - Nuff' said.

the night manager with hugh laurie and :love: tom hiddleston :love:

[TONGO]

Very surprised by the vast amount of free content available movies and tv without paying for a subscription. Theres are some ads, but not as long a break as their are in TV or on FreeVee, its like 30 second ad and done.


So I canceled my NetFlix. Already found a great docuseries for free called I Shouldn't Be Alive. Im surprised the first episode story hasnt been made into a movie.

And, meanwhile, we’re all waiting for season 2 of The Night Manager. :rolleyes:

I loved that series. Even though I binged the entire run of HOUSE md in one shot, I sought out other projects with Hugh Laurie, but it was Tom Hiddleston that won me over. Could you imagine the incalculable smiling power of a movie with Hiddleston and Bradley Cooper?!


Just finished Rampart (2011) free on Amazon, great flick 7.75 out of 10 stars. Woody Harrelson. Bad Lieutenant meets the Christian Bale movie Harsh Times

I don't pay for anything (but I have accepted free passwords) but if one did, get Criterion - it's about $8/month and there's a 7-day trial.

[LeBoyWondeur]

The best prime originals I've watched are Fleabag and Goliath.
Also Night Sky and My Lady Jane but just like Netflix they usually cancel the best stuff. I guess all the money needs to be invested in boring stuff like The Ring Of Power or The Wheel Of Time :mad:

On Call

On Call
Is that the show like COPS?


I just finished a movie that surprised me in how good it was, and in a now tired zombie genre to boot. The Girl With All The Gifts 2017 stars Glenn Close, Paddy Considine....very smart, and creative Zombie flick.

[John McClane]

sorta. lots of gun cam, body cam, and dash cam. pretty neat how they use all that to tell a story. i binged it all over last week. short and sweet

I watched a couple of episodes neither of which inspired me to go further.

[John McClane]

that’s cool. i doubt it’ll get another season. whole bunch of nobodies

[Stirchley]

The Pitt is excellent on Prime/Max. Can’t wait to watch today’s episode. First medical drama I have ever watched.
