So I activated my yearly Amazon Prime month trial and just after a few recommendations of decent shows to binge. Already watched the latest season of 'startup' which was OK, but not a patch on season 1. Are there any other good Amazon originals? Bosch any good?
 
Bosch is a superb detective series, possibly because the author of the books is also exec producer of the TV show
 
Like mentioned above, Bosch and Jack Ryan. I'd also say that if you're a footy fan then 'All or Nothing: Manchester City' is definitely worth a watch. Even if you're not a Man City fan, I'm a Stokey, it's a damn good show that really opens your eyes to how the big clubs are run behind the scenes.

Jack Ryan was better than I thought it would be. It's still typical Tom Clancy nonsense, but well cast and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Vikings is excellent, especially the earlier seasons.
 
I like Bosch quite a lot, but it's not exactly world changing. Just another cop show, really.
Vikings is superb, best series I've watched on Amazon
The 100 is great (starts off terrible in the first episode, but improves a heck of a lot)
Hell on Wheels is brilliant for the first 2/3 seasons. Tapers down after that.
Hand of God I enjoyed, but I don't reckon it's for everyone.
Goliath S1 is pretty great, S2 is terrible
American Gods is good. Bit weird - but I like weird.

To be honest, all of the above are going to be enjoyed if you're into the premise/genre.

My wife really digs Outlander and Versailles, but I've not tried either.

I thought Black Sails was crap :D
Copper was also terrible. gave up after 3 or 4 episodes.

Don't think I've watched any other Amazon Prime series, so anything I've not mentioned isn't a sign that I didn't enjoy :)
 
Parks and Recreation
Justified
Red Oaks
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia
House of Cards
Vikings
Jack Ryan
The Expanse
American Gods
Man in the High Castle
 
Lucifer is a great fun, comedy drama police procedural, with the mis-matched partnership of good a cop partnered with the devil..... who's taking a holiday in LA.
Watch the first couple of episodes and you'll know if it's right for you or not, but me and MrsS love it.

It's surprisingly good fun but it does get tired and circular by the end of the 2nd season, so much so I can't bring myself to watch S3 :(
 
Suprised nobodies mentioned already - Marvellous mrs Maisel is absolutely brilliant.

The title makes it sound like something your gran would watch but it’s absolutely not. Top cast, amazing acting, great story.

Edit - another vote for Vikings - great show.
 
Bosch,
American Gods,
Preacher,
Jack Ryan,
Vikings whilst they've got it,
Outlander,
Lucifier if they keep s1-s3.
