I notice they added the first 2 seasons of 'The Handmaids Tale' so it's all up there for watching now, might finally get around to it now.

I watched the first episode and enjoyed it. I'll stick with it.

Binged the first 5 episodes of The Devil's Hour over the bank holiday and would have finished it out last night other than it was 2am when we finished episode 5... hoping it ties itself up nicely as there's a lot to bring together/explain in the last episode...

Very similar, I had to make myself switch it off at midnight last night when episode 5 finished. It's very good, I hope the last episode isn't a huge let down.

The last episode is by far the best episode. Very good mini series overall.

hi, I've an irish prime video account and just finished season 4 of vikings and when I went to season 5 I can't watch episode 1,2,3,4 but I can watch 5 and 7...I can put them on my watch list but no option to play. .does anyone else have this issue..watching on my smart TV app..also all of season 7 of fear walking dead seens unavailable

Search for Season 5 again. You will locate a block with all episodes intact rather than continued watch from one you ended up in.

Season 7 of Fear the Walking Dead isn't there because it hasn't dropped on the platform yet.

Thanks for the reply but even when I search for vikings as a block when I select it …only some episodes are available..it’s very strange..I also tried using app on mobile device and it’s the same

Wrongway1985

I checked there when I search for it on app 'Vikings', two season 5 part 1's appear and yes the top one has all episodes the bottom of which then you are referring I'd say just episodes 5 and 7 showing.

I get two results as well but it is the bottom one the that has all of season 5. The top one starts at episode 5. The one on the bottom left in this pic

Thanks everyone…went into the search and just searched “vikings” and not “vikings season 5” as I did before and all episodes are available..worked on iPad app and also worked on app on smart tv..

I watched the first 3 episodes of The Devil's Hour last night with Peter Capaldi. Genuinely unnerving and creepy. Can't wait for the last 3 tonight.

Mr.Nice Guy

I finished The Devil's Hour and really enjoyed it. I would like a second season, although it could stand perfectly well as a one-off. Strong performances from the cast and a lot of characters to care about. Only thing I didn't really like was the use of music in certain scenes which didn't add anything imo.

If you like how it resolved the overall storyline in the final episode, check out this book which deals with a similar concept:

Spoiler Warning

'Replay' by Ken Grimwood. About a man who dies in his early forties and reawakens as his 18-year-old self with all his memories of the future intact.

Just finished The Devil's Hour.

Brilliant watch.

What's the lastest on purchasing prime video content? Using revolut temp card linked to PM address no longer seems to work. Any tips?

Neighbours is back: Amazon resurrects hit soap

Three months after it stopped broadcasting, the Australian soap is being revived for a new series by the streaming giant, starring favourite old characters

Amazon clearly believe that everybody needs good Neighbours. After the long-running antipodean soap opera stopped broadcasting in July, the streaming giant has decided to save it.

A new series will start filming in Australia next year, after the production company Fremantle signed a deal with Amazon Freevee. A number of fan favourites are due to return, including Stefan Dennis as Paul Robinson, Alan Fletcher as Karl Kennedy, Jackie Woodburne as Susan Kennedy and Ryan Moloney as Toadie Rebecchi.

“Neighbours is a unique series with a powerful connection with its fans across the world,” said Jennifer Mullin, Fremantle’s CEO. “We cherish the show and all those who have been part of its incredible story over many decades, so we are thrilled that we have found a new home.”

Is Amazon Freevee available in Ireland or might it end up on Amazon Prime here?

A film added recently called The People we hate at the wedding.

Top notch cast Alison Janney, Ben Platt and Kristen Bell.

It's formulaic but watchable and entertaining I thought.

No it isn't but if they are Freevee originals they likely be on there here alright.

If its licensed content (e.g. 30 Rock) that's on there you wanting unlikely to be on Prime at same time.

New addition to the library- a run of the mill 80s actioner made prestigious by the always compelling Rutger Hauer. It reminded me of an 80's version of Kuffs. Gene Simmons could have broke into acting based on his performance as the bad guy. Its a really fun flick and a reminder how great Hauer was in his prime

I enjoyed it right up to the last few minutes. I didn’t like how it ended.

Not saying it was bad ending, just that I found it unsatisfying.

Has anyone else been having problems with Prime over the last few hours?

several times it has gone to a black screen with the buffering icon - sometimes it resumes or jumps ahead

other streamers are working fine.
