      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 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

          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.

              Highly recommend Fleabag if you want a good comedy that’s also sad and horny. You’re also on Lemmy so you should love the expanse.

      At least in Canada, it was better than Netflix

      No catalogue is worth the prices here though
