Amazon Prime Film/TV Series Recommendations

Just watched Bombshell and my god I want to through something or someone through a window! What a ****ing cesspit of a place.

Call it whatever you want, that film was absolutely God awful.

Only signed up for prime recently and watched all 6 seasons of Bosch... What a show.

agree - what a show... watched the first episode with the wife, she didn't like it that much so I binge watched it solo and also got hooked onto the music as well (have the full playlist on Spotify now)... suggested to the wife to give it another go - and she did and didn't stop till the end

Are you on a UK account? I know there was a whole thing happened in January with Brexit and people had to change back to Irish accounts. There was lots of discussion abour it in the other General Amazon thread.

irish account,

The music is incredible.

But I think the writing is just really good on it; its the sort of programme they could make 100 seasons of and I probably wouldn't get bored of.

We cancelled Netflix, and went with Amazon Prime Video (half price compared to Netflix) to give it a go, as there's some movies I've been wanting to watch.

Started off last night with '71 (2014) which tells the story of a British solider who gets separated from his platoon when helping the RUC on a raid in a Catholic part of Belfast.

It was an excellent film, with high tension throughout and some interesting characters peppered through. A strong UK & Irish cast, including Jack O'Connell (Skins), Paul Anderson (Peaky Blinders), Barry Keoghan (Dunkirk, Chernobyl, Love/Hate), Killian Scott (Love/Hate). It kept me close to the edge of my seat, but for me, lacked something toward the end.

A solid watch and a comfortable 7/10.

What device are you using?

Demolition Man
The Losers
Both 48 Hours movies are there
Pacific Rim
Kong Skull Island

I think any of these would fit the bill if you haven't seen them, at least we know runtime won't be an issue

I will watch them all one after the other just to show you

Seen them all though and watched the last two recently.

But Demolition Man is bang on the type of movie I am wanting. Any recommendations for something like that?

Keep the film reviews coming always appreciated! We have been trying the last few months to watch one every Saturday night and normally come to boards for recommendations.

Also which might not suit you but if get Eir broadband they give you Amazon Prime Video free for a year. Whatever they did on our order messed up so will have gotten it free for 18 months by time it is finished, will keep it on anyway. Have Netflix too but yeah it is pricey and definitely doesn't warrant the price difference that there is between both platforms..

That was the prequel.

But you do release there was actually a sequel with Jim and Jeff a couple of years ago too, yeah?

Oh right, I was mixing up Dumb and Dumberer with Dumb and Dumber To. Seems Jim and Jeff were pretty dumb after all, and me to!!

Bosch Spin off confirmed.

Titus welliver back, will focus on him and Money Chandler.

So I can only presume he leaves the police at the end of the last season in that case.
