    So what's the difference between me buying a film from google play store and the same one from Amazon prime?

    One I can download and play on any media player, the other I'm only allowed play it on the proprietary player.

    The difference being one allows you to do it the other doesn't, there's no more to it than that. Google could stop letting you do that tomorrow and there's not a thing you could do about it.

    T&Cs are the difference.

    How do you mean? Surely the movie is the same, both sources offering it in HD.

    So I signed up for this accidentally on a free trial for a month. Will watch the office, try parks and rec and the grand tour, anything else worth watching TV show wise?

    Ive found Rakuten TV has the best prices for movie rental & purchases when compared to Google or Amazon.
    But like Amazon you have to watch the movies through Rakutens app.

    Man in the High Castle. I've never watched another thing on it bar that and The Grand Tour, though the Mrs watches the US Office from time to time.

    The Patriot, Mr Robot, The Night Manager, Preacher, The Man in the High Castle, Sneaky Pete, Jack Ryan, The Expanse. It has a lot of good TV shows.

    Halt and Catch Fire is well worth a look if you're into a Mad Men style of show.

    Although I found S1 of The Expanse a bit muddled, Season's 2 and 3 were excellent - worth sticking with.

    The very enjoyable Leverage has been added to Prime.


    One of the shows I'd love to see them bring back even for a TV movie.

    Definitely great!
    Must have just been added recently as I was looking for it for a rewatch a few weeks ago and ended up buying the complete series on BluRay as it wasn’t included with Prime.

    It took about 30 seconds for them to unlock it for me via webchat. There's really no reason why anyone should be stuck with the Irish catalogue.
