In my opinion, yes. It got progressively worse through S2 and 3. It was just so dragged out and ridiculous. It really felt like something they planned for one series of and then decided to drag it out for several more but had nothing to say. Dornan isn't a great actor either and it shows when he actually has to do proper scenes, not just skulk around and say the odd line here and there. Anderson's character wasn't much better as the seasons went on.

And to be honest, as a woman, I felt a bit uncomfortable watching it at times. I can't really explain it but some of the writing and scenes felt like they'd lost sight of the fact their main character is a rapist and murderer.

Yep. Season 1 was great. Season 2 ok. Season 3 is desperate. Should only have been 2 seasons long.

The Breadwinner.

Been wanting to watch this for ages now. I'm sure it was on Netflix for a while but it's on Prime now.
Stunningly beautiful animation from Kilkenny's Cartoon Saloon. Set in Afghanistan it tells the story of a young girl who has to pretend to be a boy to provide for her family when her father is arrested by the Taliban. It's quite dark in places but a lot of it is hinted at rather than being shown and it's ultimately a very hopeful film, I guess?
Well worth checking it out.

Fantastic film.

The Red Turtle

Animated film from a few years back about a man who finds himself stranded on a desert island and all attempts to escape it are thwarted by a big red turtle. And then things get weird....

I'm not sure how I felt about this, tbh. It's about 80 minutes long, no dialogue, and I'm not 100% sure what it was even about.... but I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Mark Kermode's review probably sums it up a bit better.... https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/may/28/the-red-turtle-review-studio-ghibli-masterpiece

No chance, sure that's a perfect reason to have the offer, they'll get loads of sign ups

Watched the Oscar pistorius documentary and thought it was very good, gives great insight into the whole incident and court case

Finally finished re-watching the office, I had completely forgotten how emotional the finale was. That song Creed plays hits you straight in the feels!

firefly's one and only season has been added , think it was there a while back and left

Is there any fix to allow rentals of content in Ireland?

I'v tried setting my region to UK, using a UK address (parcel motel) and using either my revolut or curve cards, but can't rent anything.

Thanks.

I had three animated movies lined up on Prime to watch over the weekend including the two above but I went with the Japanese anime Your Name which I've been eager to check out since it came out a few years ago. I was pretty blown away by it it even with very high expectations going in.

The Boys will be my weekend viewing, and also my first venture into Amazon Prime streaming!

Watched the first 5 episodes over the last 2 days, the boys definitely the best thing on Amazon Prime. Superhero's been arseh*les is miles more interesting than them been hero's. Carnival Row is also very good

I've got that on BluRay, haven't got around to watching it yet but same as yourself I've got high expectations for it.
Its actally the one area of Prime I've been mildly impressed with, their animation section.

Hey,
I'm using a FireTV stick for viewing and it really frustrating as a lot of the shows on offer are only for the UK.
I'm trying to switch to get access to the Prime UK content, i've my account location updated and i've my payment method changed to my revolut card but i still get the warning about titles not available in my location.

Do I also need to use my VPN service when browsing to allow the UK content, or am i missing something.

You don't need a VPN. You need to contact Amazon on web chat and ask them to change your Prime region.

VPN most likely won't work. Get onto Web chat & ask them to change your prime video location to the UK. You will need a UK address. Most people use their parcel motel ad in Northern Ireland

Any examples of tv shows that are on prime UK but not Prime Ireland?
One immediate example I see, is "Swamp Thing". I actually really enjoyed this show and would recommend it....

The example usually given is Person of Interest, available in UK and not Ireland.

But I think Fleabag S2 is available in Ireland and not UK though!

Still think better to be on UK content but that's one example where not..
