It's there actually anything (fantasy/sci fi) to watch on prime?

Prime is pretty poor for being able to watch good sci fi or fantasy imo. They used to have a lot of the older stuff from the past few decades available but that's all slowly disappearing. Netflix is superior for me as they've got a lot Japanese/Korean and Chinese series which is of a lot higher quality than 99% of what's churned out by the west.

Signed up for a month trial because I wanted a deal on prime day. So thought I'd check out prime video.

Can't find a thing I want to watch.

Any good films/tv series that are decent?
Sci-fi fantasy only.

Rings of power.. Seems a 50/50 split between 1 and 5 stars! Is it any good?

Rings of Power is absolute trash.

The only fantasy worth watching since GOT is House of the Dragon.
 
Expanse, first 3 eps are a touch slow but once you hit 'that' episode you should be hooked, if not, then damn you, you're not a proper sci-fi fan ;)

I joke of course, different strokes for folks but it's a phenomenally good series with rock solid writing and characters throughout.

I'll probably give it a go. I mean I don't see anything else on there

I'm not one for worrying about shows obeying lore etc. I can enjoy things in isolation fine

If you do watch the Expanse, two things :

1) The lead actors are terrible, although the supporting cast is generally very good.

2) They killed it off before the story ended, so you'll need to switch to the books to finish it.
 
Not all sci-fi
The Expanse (excellent)
Invincible(excellent)
The Boys(excellent)
The Peripheral (good)
The Man In The High Castle (excellent)
Jack Ryan (excellent)
Reacher (excellent)
 
No mention of Paper Girls yet? Personally preferred it to Stranger Things. A shame that Amazon thought that Rings of Power was the only thing worth carrying on besides Picard and that was patchy at best. At least the story can be completed via the graphic novels.
 
The Power, The Peripheral are the last 2 good sci-fi ish shows I saw on Prime that haven't been cancelled. Both really good. Paper Girls as mentioned, but was cancelled so not worth it imo.

Wheel of time was pretty good IMO.
The usual candidates call it woke of time.

Its not a good accurate book series copy, but then what good TV/film ever is.

Have you watched clarksons farm, not your main criteria clearly but very good.
Likewise Bosch

Assume you have watched Picard?

Others worth looking at :
Vikings
Goliath
