21 Bridges with Chadwick Boseman was added yesterday, is it worth watching?

Yes. Solid old-school crime-action-thriller of the type common in the 80s/90s

second this. I remember seeing it in the cinema thinking how much I missed these well done crime-action-thriller from the 90's.

Score, acting, plot, cinematography is all very well done.

It’s really annoying me that I can’t watch fleabag season 2 on it. Why is it even showing up if it’s unavailable? It’s teasing me. Any indication as to when it might be available?

Is anyone watching Making The Cut? It’s like Project Runway the fashion show.

Episodes have dropped weekly and today is the finale. €1 million prize which is huge for a tv show.

I’ve enjoyed it and I like Heidi and Tim.

The show makes me want to be creative.

It's formulaic but totally agree.

Anyone else have issues when trying to buy or rent something? Whether it's on the app or browser, when I click rent and then choose the card it just keeps circling me back to the start point. On UK prime using revolut.

Stumbled upon Copycat on Uk one tonight. Can’t believe it was 1996 when it came out.

A great suspense serial killer movie, they don’t make ones like this anymore.

The search function on Amazon Prime is dreadful. Even when you type the full name of tv show or movie, you have to scroll through all the other stuff they bring up to find what you wanted to search.

Loved that film!

Yes that’s the one. Great film. They don’t make thrillers like that anymore.

It's a dire interface, even the Continue watching functionality is ****ty .

X-ray is brilliant though.

I have UK prime and a revolut card but it won't let me rent anything.
I haven't bothered trying to sort it though.

I think it's because the revolut card is seen as Irish. If you were able to put a UK address it might sort it but I'm not 100% sure.

It's like Amazon just aren't really bothered to do anything about the interface. Amazon Prime Video is still treated like an afterthought bonus you get for subscribing to Prime, even after the insane amount of money they are pumping into productions and acquisitions.

You still can't add a tv show to your watchlist (instead having to add each "season" individually), the search function is diabolical and they still have awful problems when it comes to subtitles on certain shows/movies (even ones made by Amazon themselves).
The most frustrating thing is their lack of profiles within the app, even though practically every other major streaming service has this feature. And the ads for Amazon shows that play before titles is beyond infuriating.

Netflix has led the way, but even newcomers like Apple TV+ and Disney+ are already miles ahead of Amazon in terms of design.

I still enjoy Amazon for its content (specifically it's tv content) and the fact that it's one price tier includes UHD (unlike Netflix), just wish they showed a little more concern for useability.

The address you enter on prime for the Revolut card has to be a UK one. You don't change anything with Revolut themselves. Just the address for Revolut on Prime digital purchase

It's bizarre. Even more bizarre given they've a massive IT division, not just obviously on their own website but with AWS as well. There's surely more than enough skilled people in that pool to design a better interface and layout that actually lets you organise and finds shows.

I've never seen any ads. They are rolling out profiles at the moment, seems to be taking an age though.

Actually, you are right, I think I read something ages ago about profiles becoming a thing.

And I get ads for other Amazon shows on front of tv shows I watch on Amazon constantly. Whenever I watched The Expanse or Vikings or Outlander, there is an ad at the start for The Grand Tour or Bosch that you cannot skip. I can't stand Jeremy Clarkson so it's annoying to have to listen to him every time and I've yet to start watching Bosch so it's also annoying to see ads (spoilers) for the shows latest season.

Ive tried in as many combinations as I can, with parcel motel address etc and cant get it to work either.

I got it to work and get the UK content even with my Eir subscription. Here’s what I did

Set my default delivery address to UK (parcel motel etc).
Set my default payment to Revolut card.
Ensure my billing address for Revolut matches the default delivery address I used above. e.g. UK address
In your account settings go to ‘Manage content and devices’ then to preferences and set country/ region to UK
Contact amazon through chat and ask to have your Location and video content territory set to UK

Reboot your devices (especially if you are using a Firestick)

Hopefully that will work for ya

Guy:Incognito · 26-04-2020 11:37PM

My account has been a UK one since December or so. Must have another go at messing with addresses again to see can I get it to work

Is it anything to do with the update where you can now purchase directly in the prime video app? on iOS anyway.

I presume profiles like Netflix or Disney so people in the household can have their own section, watched and watchlist etc

If two people watch the same show, the viewing history can be all over the place and you might forget where you are in the series.

That said I think Prime is terrible for this anyway, it offen thinks I’m episodes behind where I am.

Like the guys says, allows different people to set themselves up and watch their own things. Even if you're watching the same show, but at a different pace, episodes won't be shown as viewed if the other person already watched it. You can have individual watch lists too. And if you have kids you don't want them seeing a lot of the stuff that pops up on their landing page.

Revolut are looking for UK id now to verify you're living there.
