Amazon Prime Video, General Discussion [Ireland]

Synode

A few people were discussing this in a Netflix thread and we've been told to stop. Perhaps this thread can be used for discussion of Prime and recommendations for shows that are available on it?

I didn't even know it was available in Ireland until today.

I'll agree it's easily their best show. Very witty, some great performances and it's also got fantastic production values (it looks stunning in 4k).

It takes a little bit of time to really get going but it moves on from the Joel element and finds its feet. Easy for me to see why it's won a bunch of awards.

I'm the opposite (sorry!). I watched 5/6 episodes and just wanted to punch all the characters. Not going to waste my time on this where there are so many other better shows out there (IMHO of course!)

I watched about 3 or 4 episodes of S1 of this but I couldn't get into it. They felt very repetitive in structure to me. She meets with the short woman, thinks about Joel, has some sort of accidental public performance which then inspires her stand up, the end.

I started it when I was on a free trial and had no intention of actually signing up, so didn't waste viewing time on it after that, but I have it free for a year now so I might give it another go.

Yep a bit like that at the start TBH but it keeps getting better, season 2 is a belter

I've a friend who raves about it so must try it again. So much tv, so little time.

Just finished binge watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,

I'm sure its been mentioned here loads of times already but honestly its a brilliant show, really not what I was expecting. It was on my radar for a while now but for some reason I kept holding back.

It's very cleverly written and the pace of the dialog keeps you hooked, also one of the best comedic written shows in many a year.

On another note some of the sets are amazing too, gives you a real feel of escapism.

If it was on you radar and you thought a bit "meh" or you havn't seen it yet then go for it, you won't be disappointed

all the seasons?

season 1 had a particularly annoying character that ruined it for me

they get better as they go along imo

I'd recommend ZeroZeroZero - a one season mafia/ sth american narco / smuggler broker series. it's on Amazon

bit of an acquired taste but if you like it and get it (give it 2 episodes) you're likely to really like it.

great anti-hero stuff imo but again, not everyone would like it.

I have no interest in superhero stuff (not into those cinema-clogging marvel productions) at all but really liked it.

This isn't true, as quite a few posters have mentioned, there's a lot more on it than you might think initially, you just have to know what you're looking for because the interface is awful.

Midsommar was probably my favorite movie last year.

yes. seems to put a lot of people off but probably the best one for me also. it's more a "go with the experience " type of movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it on that basis.

thought that the director's other well-known movie "Hereditary" was pretty bad surprisingly.

[Deleted User]

I find it great for Oscar nominated movies over the last few years - Green Book, Hacksaw Ridge etc. I notice a lot of movies are almost 'rotated' between Prime and Netflix - I, Tonya for example going straight to Netflix from Prime

No it's true IMO. I've spent a lot of time looking through it.

You can chromecast it just the same as Netflix. Much better picture too. Pretty there's so little worth watching on it.

I don't think you can Chromecast Amazon Prime.

You can Chromecast Netflix and YouTube.

You need a Firestick to cast Amazon Prime to your TV.

If you want Amazon the other options are the app built into the TV, an Xbox or a PS4.

Just finished “hunters” , myself and wife loved it....

Thanks for all the tips. My TV has apps on it but I couldn't find the option for Amazon Prime on it. I don't mind watching on the phone or tablet but would prefer the TV. I might look into Chromcast. Thanks for the tip.

Hustlers is now available on Amazon prime.
It's a lot of fun J Lo is fantastic in it!

Firestick is what I use too. But you need to switch your region to UK for prime for it to properly work.

That is true for Prime, but I am pretty sure all other apps work fine. I am on UK region.

But yes OP was asking for Prime, so if not on UK region, probably chromecast is best.

Its a bit crappy that this device doesnt work for IE region.

Edit: another option might be Roku streaming sticks.
