I signed up for Amazon prime last year solely to watch the grand tour(don't typically use Amazon as a retail customer) but once the series ended, they had nothing else to offer so I quickly cancelled - assuming at the time that the video service was still in it's infancy compared to Netflix and the like(which I use).
Fast forward to now, I've went back and forth every now and again to see if there was a TV show or movie that would be worthwhile signing up for but nothing... Every time I run a search on Amazon for a movie it's a paid for option or DVD and not included in Prime. I also searched tonight for a TV show(which sparked this thread) which has 11 series, a couple of which are available as pay per stream, the rest are DVDs.
Am I missing something here? They are advertising the subscription service like it's a mature Netflix rival but I see nothing of any real substance. The only real benefit I can see here is the free delivery with your shopping and a couple of shoddy Amazon originals.
The typical Amazon user experience really doesn't translate to a video service either, terrible to browse.
Anyone finding the opposite to me and actually enjoying the service? As I said, I might be missing something here...
