Amazon Prime Video, General Discussion [Ireland]

Someone on here recommended The Bureau.

I tried to find it last night but couldn't see it, searched for the title and all and it came up on the search bar but nothing in the options box.

Is this available to Irish subscribers?

It was on the Irish Prime until recently. It left the service when I was only a few episodes in, so I was quite disappointed. They may get it back at some point though.

Same happened to me. It was recommended here and I watched half of the first series, and it vanished. Watched it via other means since. It is very good.

The expanse might be the best thing on Amazon, That and Mr Robot

Hi,
Is anyone using Amazon Household successfully for sharing Prime video. I was trying to share last night but could not everything looks like it successful setup but when the other person tries to login they get offered a trial. I tried Amazon support they said it was a brexit thing that sharing no longer works in the Republic which it maybe but i felt it was quick easy answer. So just casting the net out see does anyone have it working

Thanks

Love The Expanse. Never heard of Mr Robot but looks good, cheers

Finished season 7 of the X-Files. I've mixed feelings on it. There were some episodes I really liked, but it had a few bad ones too, particularly near the end. I also came away from one of the most significant episodes feeling quite different towards it compared to when I first saw it twenty odd years ago...

I mentioned in my season 6 recap that I liked how the mythology episodes were starting to mix religious elements with the aliens, but it never really goes anywhere this season.

Some episodes held up very well which I remembered fondly when I first watched, such as the Goldberg variation (about the guy with amazing luck), Je Souhaite (the genie episode), while I also really liked X-Cops (spoof of the show Cops), as well as Hollywood AD (where they make a movie on Mulder and Scully). I would say the comedy is the strongest part of this season. Mulder is hilarious in several episodes. I love his reaction to the model in the First Person Shooter episode, as well as how he makes fun of Skinner having a bubble bath in the film one.

There are some stinkers, it must be said. The Gillian Anderson-penned 'all things' might be the worst episode I've seen. Nothing of note happens, and it doesn't feel like she gets Scully's character right, which surprised me. I hated this one. The second half of the season got a bit lacklustre.

What surprised me most was my thoughts on the episode Closure, where Mulder gets to find out what happened to his sister. When I first saw this back in the day, I remember thinking it was a good episode, and in particular the use of Moby's song for the closing scene. Watching it back, however, I found it a very unsatisfying conclusion to the storyline. It's probably because I've been following the story arc much more closely this time around that I found it such a letdown. I believe they could have come up with a better conclusion. The Moby music works well and it's nice to see Mulder feel like he gets closure, but the explanation doesn't seem consistent with what we've seen previously.

The season finale was quite good and ends with a significant cliffhanger. I liked that they went back to the events of the pilot episode too. Next season is the one where Doggett comes into the picture and Mulder has less screen time. I remember liking his character when I watched originally, so I'm keen to see if I feel the same way.

Scammer Warning: Just a quick word of warning - I've just been cold-called by a crowed who were trying to scam me...

The phone rings, and an obviously computerised voice reads a message that says that are calling about my Amazon Prime account and that they are about to charge me €79. If I want to talk to a customer advisor about it, press a button to be transferred. I expect this would be the point when I'm connected to a scammer, but I put the phone down.

From my POV it was obviously a scam; I've never given Amazon my home phone number.

Just be aware the scammers are out there and don't get sucked in.

Should have pressed the button. You were wide. Could have had a laugh!

Seems it's a joint venture between Channel 4 and Amazon so not sure will it be released on Prime here or if that's just outside UK and Ireland. Or if it releases later.

And while a bit unsurprising, with that beard Brian Gleeson looks so like his father it's spooky.

They're ideal for one of those movies that take place over generations, save the producers the time and effort in using digital effects to age or youngify the actor involved.

Do you mean Invincible, or is it another show?
