Amazon Prime "Watch Instantly" gems: FBGs recommended (1 Viewer)

I have both Netflix and Prime. I do like Netflix's Interface better but I am starting to enjoy the HBO exclusive on Prime

One to add, Six Feet under
Huh?
Prime has all the old run HBO shows. The wire, Boardwalk Empire, 6 feet under etc. Netflix does not.
Holy ####! I have Prime, but didn't know that. Excuse me, I have to watch The Wire.
Don't get TO excited. Even with Prime - most cases Season One is included but after that each episode is $1.99 or $2.99 each (Or a season pass for $XX.XX)
Sneaky bastards. Was enjoying watching Boardwalk Empire again until that.

Wow really? That's horrible.

No not really.

Just for the newest season of the shows they carry. If you're impatient, you can buy them ahead of their release.

Also not true. The deal is they can show anything 3 years or older (that timeframe may be a bit off but it's something like that). HBO made the rule, not Amazon

 
i've been watching episodes of the comedian amy schumer's CC show "inside amy" and find myself laughing a ton. it's a fun show.

 
Hearing good things about this: The Man in the High Castle
I thought about starting a separate thread for this. I watched this pilot last night; it was outstanding. Hooks you immediately, the hour passes so quickly you don't even realize how long you've been watching until the final scene. I know it's technically just part of "pilot season" but it's hard to imagine that it won't get picked up for a full season- my guess is they included it in the freebie package to hook people and convince them to purchase prime/on demand. Almost as hard to imagine it won't win a bunch of awards next year if the rest of the season is as good as the pilot. Critics loved it too. And it's right in the wheelhouse of many FFA posters, I think.

Binged both seasons and it is awesome.

 
I started watching One Mississippi after browsing the menu and watched one episode, then two, then all of season 1. 

It's based on the life of Tig Notaro (who I had never heard of prior to watching this show). I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I appreciate her style of deadpan humor and it carries over into the show very well. 

 
The Wire season 2, episode 4. Some of the nicest boobs I have seen on screen. That is all. Thought it was important.
I'm enjoying The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Rachel Brosnahan has a scene showing off close to a perfect set of her own.

 
Anyone try the Jean-Claud Van Damm show? Looks fun in previews but it's competing for time with Dark and Black Mirror on Netflix 
Watched a few (they're half hour, so not a big commitment).

A little disappointing tbh- not funny enough for me. One of van dammes characters should have gotten more time... kind of a schlumpy loser janitor version of himself.

She had a stand-up show on one of the premiums where she travels the country and basically plays sets in fans' homes. If you like the deadpan, there's lots of it there. But what killed me was in the closing credits when she's doing her clown horn sounds affect for other comedians. I could watch that party endlessly.

Does HBO come with a Amazon Prime? 

Do they have episodes from other networks (FOX, NBC, etc.)?

Any other shows worth watching (particularly drama) through Amazon Prime?

 
Anybody watching Electric Dreams? Series of one offs based on writings of Philip k ****. We're two in and pretty good so far.

A lot of the older HBO stuff is part of prime, but I don't think that any current series have anything up for free, except for curb (since it seemed like it was over).  No GOT, Silicon Valley, etc.

I watched the first episode under the influence of a recently legalized substance and fairly confident my mind exploded.

I’m in for this one....

 
Just watched a flick called The Assassin Next Door.  Horrible title and description and I was expecting a bad action flick, but I figure I can watch Olga Kurylenko chop vegetables for two hours and be interested. Wow this was a really really good film. Not a cheesy action flick AT ALL.  Kurylenko and her large-breasted costar are both great and the movie really digs deep on the main character. Big thumb's up.

I suggest subtitles ON...lots of low talking with foreign accents.

 
Amazon is losing a lot of ground, at least for my family, compared to Netflix.  We watch Netflix at least 6:1 over Amazon.

we're 4 or 5 in and it's been very good. some misses, but some really solid stuff too. definitely worth watching for Black Mirror fans.

Have watched 6 of 10 and split 3 very good, 3 not so much.

Very Good:  Real Life, Autofac, Hood Maker

Meh:  Impossible Planet, Kill All Others, Crazy Diamond
