    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 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.
