Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are AMC, aren't they? And it has had Mad Men in the past as well.

Sorry, you're right. Scratch what I said.

Leaves Prime in 27 hours from what I can see which I assume means midnight tomorrow.

Where can you see that?

The info is available from this view of the show details which I accessed via the 'Expiring from Prime in the Next 30 Days' filter on the website.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Search/dp/B074XFBN17/

No idea why this information isn't surfaced within other app views.

Managed to get the last episode of the first season in last night, that's something I suppose.

Flesh and Bone - exceptional ballet drama.

I finished Halt and Catch Fire last night and now I don't know what to do with my life. An incredible show, I can't believe I never heard of it until recently.

The Raging Bile Duct

It's been great to make the recommendation for Halt and Catch Fire and to see so many people get sucked into it like I did. I'm quite sad I'm finished it.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Both seasons of Fleabag appear to be up at the moment. It seemed to always be one or the other for a while.

Amazon want £1.89 per episode of Halt and catch fire!

Somebody must have recommended it to people, got a buzz going and now Amazon see it is so popular they want to make more money out of it. Remember folks don't recommend.

This is one of those posts where I'm pretty sure you're taking the piss but then I've been reading the Covid thread in the conspiracy theory forum out of morbid curiosity and now I don't know when someone's been serious or not anymore...

This same thing happened with Justified recently; it disappeared then came back a couple of weeks later. Stuff like this just happens, AFAIK it's usually just a case of lapsed rights. The streaming services sign X months to broadcast something. Simple as, Amazon are fairly Machiavellian but wouldn't give them that much credit. Such is the life of online streaming really.

For the record I was taking the proverbial.

Captain Red Beard

I got through 3 and a half seasons of HACF in about 10 days before it disappeared.

Decent week for new film additions (in the uk anyway).

1917 and The Personal History of David Copperfield last Friday and Parasite this coming Friday.

Give it a few weeks though. Titles often leave and are added back in again shortly after or maybe it's moving to Netflix instead.....

Remember reading something here where if you search the title you can check if you're in the UK or Ireland selection of Amazon Prime video? I only remember if you're seeing Fleabag Season 1 you're in the UK/bigger selection..I can't remember the other title.

Anyway I do feel there's quite a few that's gone, or maybe I've been thrown on the Ireland/outside UK section..I'm gonna go back on my previous watchlist that I screenshotted and check.

Fleabag Season 1 is on the Irish prime now so that won't help you.

For ages they only had Season 2 and 3 of Future Man but they've put up Season 1 so I started watching it last night. Very, very stupid but I couldn't help laughing at it.

Oof thanks for the update. You know what I'm not sure if I'm NOT in the UK or my watchlist titles are just gone


For example, just a cursory look I can see that 'Synecdoche,New York' and 'Eyes Wide Shut' are no longer there (I had it on my watchlist few months ago)..now I want to know if that's just because im not on the UK site anymore or they've just been removed altogether

Prime pulled S2 of Fleabag when I had two episodes left. :mad:

Contact them on chat. Happened to me twice and they added the episodes so that I could finish the season. It shows up as shows I purchased on my account.

'Eyes Wide Shut'

I can tell you I actually watched this last week for the very reason it was expiring.

Love and other drugs (Oct 31st) and Spy Game (Nov 10) are two currently on my watchlist being removed soon.

I watch at my leisure but check watchlist every week and tweak my choices if something is going.

The Indiana Jones films are there now.

You can only have an idea by the UK list nothing concrete but naturally some correlation...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?rh=n%3A9791716031&brr=1&rd=1

Majority of expiring titles are given warnings max is 2 weeks you have to visit the website to see them, some titles can expire without warning.

Attached below is a screenshot of a title about to leave...

About a third way through this, not what I expected but really enjoying it.

Finished Future Man which was a load of fun and went to get stuck into Season 2 and it's not there. They have seasons 1 and 3 but not 2... wtf?!?!

The usual from Amazon, badly entered/ catalogued. Search for "future man season 2". It is there, just difficult to find.

That is the weirdest thing. It wouldn't play on my TV app - it said it wasn't available in this region - but it's working when I check it through a browser. Very odd.

Edit: working on the phone as well. I'll have to see can I updated the TV app. The series is great though. Avoid watching with small kids as there's quite a few rude scenes in it.

It's an intensely stupid movie, but that's meant as a compliment. Very much comedy mined from a cast of lovable idiots, at first coming across as jerks but you grow to love them.

Havent seen it mentioned but Stan against Evil is a fun series. Comedy Horror with John C McGinley playing a variation of Dr Cox.

It's a strange one but every episode has me laughing out loud at least once. Some great lines in it from a number of characters. All 3 seasons up there. Short episodes. Finished it in a couple weeks.

I'm enjoying Truth Seekers more than I expected.

bit of a guilty pleasure LOL - for This is Us fans I just realized last night they are dropping S5 weekly - 2 episodes up there already !

All In: The Fight For Democracy - a documentary examining the history of voter suppression in the US.

I'm not sure exactly when this landed on Prime but it's a very recent production and has footage including people voting with masks on. It flips between giving a pretty in depth but still very accessible history of voting rights and the subsequent suppression of those rights across the US, while also telling the story of Stacey Abrams campaign to become governor of Georgia in 2018. Obviously this was made to be viewed by Americans before the election but it's particularly interesting watching it post election and results. There's mentions of several of the states that ended up flipping blue, or nearly flipping. There's even a specific mention of one of the Arizona counties that has been on the news all week. Everything Trump has done and said since the polls closed are pretty much forecast, and there were several sort of "light bulb moments" where dots were joining up in my brain with things we've been seeing this week.

I really recommend watching it. I've been aware of voter suppression on a very basic scale for a long time but this really fills in a lot of the blanks and explains the different methods that have been employed over the years and how the Republican Party has always been the driving force behind it.

The Raging Bile Duct

Future Man is a show of diminishing returns. Season 1 is great, season 2 is alright and season 3 is completely forgettable. It's a shame because the three main actors were great in their roles.

The Raging Bile Duct

Just spotted Hunt for the Wilderpeople is now on Prime. Such a fantastic movie.

Cloud Atlas is a fantastic film. I think the only reason it hasn't got a higher rating on the likes of IMDB is because it is such a complicated movie that demands your full attention. But it is well worth it. Fantastic script, acting, cinematography and soundtrack. You can even forgive Tom Hanks butchering an Irish accent.
