[Closed] Amazon prime - what's good to watch?

Man in the high castle. Season 2 the best thing I have ever seen on telly by miles and miles.

Black sails is great. Goliath is worth a watch. What kind of stuff do you like?

Vikings, Black Sails and Fortitude too, if it's on there.

I watched the Louis Theroux Scientology film last night. It was a good (if not particularly probing) insight into a totally bonkers cult.

Stop filming. No, you stop. No, you stop..... 😀

ive just finished Sneaky Pete, and currently working my was through Man In High Castle, both very good

Mr Robot.

True detective first series. Really good

Parks and Recreation is sublime.

I'm halfway through Preacher at the moment but I'm not really sure what to make of it still!

Preacher is great, stick with it. Love the way it's shot too.

Man in the high castle. Season 2 the best thing I have ever seen on telly by miles and miles

That's quite a claim, still to get onto after season 2 as season 1 didn't leave me begging for more.

OTOH....Vikings (can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet!), also enjoying Braindead as some light relief, Preacher was mad, Mr Robot was brilliantly mental, Black Sails is good (if a bit talky), Ray Donavan is good, and obvs there's The Grand Tour 🙄

tbh, there isn't a huge amount to find

Some of the above, and "Halt and Catch Fire" is very nicely made, I'm starting to struggle a bit with Season 3 though.

Man in the high castle. Season 2 the best thing I have ever seen on telly by miles and miles.

That's quite a recommendation. Is it vastly better than Season 1?

stuff we like? OH and I really enjoyed breaking bad and better call saul, also the get down and I'd been through 5 or so seasons of the good wife. Used netflix to catch up on seasons 1 to 4 of call the midwife which we were late comers too, so a mix of stuff, just after a few ideas to try out. Films but mainly box sets that OH and I can work through as we collapse on the sofa once the little girl is asleep.
was hoping to get game of thrones and was disappointed to see that isn't included for free. oh well, something for the future i guess.

'The Americans' is addictive TV-crack at it's finest.

I skipped through the Godzilla film last night when I was bored.
it was crap.

Working my way through Seinfeld - timeless comedy.

Started watching The Patriot - quite amusing.

The apartment stuff is still gold, but I'm finding the standup bits haven't dated at all well.

This is absolutely brilliant...

Mr Robot - another vote

I will try Goliath

Some that haven't been mentioned yet

The Bureau - French (with subtitles) spy thriller.
Prisoners of War - Israeli (subtitled) series that Homeland was based on - vastly better than that (and I enjoyed both)
Bosch - american cop series, but better than most

Start up was ace.

OH is addicted to homeland so PoW will be tried! will try the other suggestions too, thanks everyone

another vote for Vikings and Goliath.

Sneaky Pete was also very good

Sneaky Pete

Sneaky Pete.

Grand Tour.

Other than that I've not had time.

Goliath, yes.

Also Startup with Martin Freeman - really good.

good question, interested to see what folk think myself.

Watched the pilot for The Tick a couple of weeks ago. Ace. I just heard this morning they're filming the 1st series early this year. Something to look forward to!

My wife signed my Amazon account up for a free month of prime.

Is there any way of casting it to my telly from mobile or tablet using a Chromecast?

I tried it a couple of years ago and it was so awkward and crap I cancelled it.

As above, Goliath was excellent

Now enjoying Startup

Another one for Goliath - BBT is brilliant in it.

As others have said Sneky Pete is very good too.

I enjoyed Bosch too - nothing taxing in it 🙂

Mr Robot again is very good.

Next on the agenda is Start Up.

They want you to buy into the Amazon ecosystem, so the only way of casting to a Chromecast is from a PC browser tab 🙁

I use the ps3

Currently watching Goliath in the evenings, pretty good so far!

Vikings
Black Sails
Bosch
The Following
Life In Pieces

Man in the high castle

Last winter I was working my way through the xfiles and the walking dead.

Mostly I watch the free movies when turboing. Real mixture.

Watched a bit of Black Sails, again found it a little meh, and the theme music comes on very loud if you have the volume turned up enough to hear the dialogue over the turbo!!

There was another series I really liked - Badlands I think it was called. Must see if series 2 is out.

Fire TV sticks hardly cost a fortune though!

And if you have a Smart TV or games console there's probably an Amazon app available.

Into the Badlands - really enjoyed that! iirc they've only just got the go ahead for S2 🙁

EDIT: starts showing in the US on the 19th of March!

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Goliath is pretty good.

😉

Goliath,
Vikings
Black sails and
Bosch all coming up lots, will try those out first.

what about kids stuff? got a 17 month old who, although only gets about 45 minutes of tv a day, adores Furchester hotel (by sesame street) and Bing. Is there anything she might love on amazon?

+1 for Man in the High Castle

We loved Brain Dead. As said before not very taxing, but very entertaining

Goliath is good...

..however that man in high castle thing i canno get around my head.. too many holes in the story to conceived as a possibility, its easier to see a death star as possibility ..i can put it this way
