There is a bunch of stuff like that but it's much more informative and entertaining than the usual nonsense.

I tend to watch these shows (or clips of, these days) because am always hoping that they will veer away from all the usual cliches, but they never do.

Still, at least it's not fucking Clarkson or Hammond, so I probably will end up having a peek.

Yeah I detest those car twats from whatever it's called and I had no interest in watching this initially. But here I am recommending it now :thumbs:
 
I had a free trial to get a couple of xmas prezzies delivered and there seems to be very little on Amazon Video that would interest me, but I found a film called Snowpiercer which is good silly fun.

It's about an accidental apocalypse and the only survivors are all on a train which keeps going round and round a long track on a frozen earth, and a form of moneyless capitalism has been running its course...
 
They all are, even Okja which is the one that works least for me. Mother is another one of his best.
 
Started Treadstone, not spectacular but pretty watchable so far. Those who liked the Jason Bourne films should like this. It's also a lot more multilayered than the films and has multiple main characters and storylines- probably the only way it was going to work in a series stretching ten episodes anyway.

I've enjoyed it, a few little twists along the way but easy viewing.
 
Yeah, I'm not going to call it brilliant but it's good enough to hold me and yet fluffy enough that it's not a big deal if a bit of it gets talked over.
I'd definitely recommend it.
 
Dunno if any of you subscrine to Starzplay via Amazon but they have bought up Perpetual Grace Ltd which is a brilliant series with Ben Kingsley in it. Pity Amazon didnt buy it tbh.
 
Watched Alison last night :snarl:
The cruelty of fucking arseholes, along with the kindness and inner strength of others astounds me at times.
Truly inspiring woman.

If you like alternative world type stuff you'd love 'Counterpart', might not be a Prime show but it's whole premise is an alternative world is found in Berlin at the end of WW2 and the UN built an office over the 'portal' between the 2 to monitor it, but then it goes a bit wrong, with people from the other side coming over to do dastardly deeds. Very interesting, as both sides diverge from the original timeline of 1945 slowly over time to become 2 very separate realities.

Finished Series 2 yesterday. Pretty sure this is on Amazon?

Thriller with a touch of Cold War scifi. Stellar cast J. K. Simmons, Olivia Williams, Harry Lloyd, Nazanin Boniadi thoroughly recommend.

Just discovered this and loving it so far (5 episodes in). Even my other half, who can get disengaged with even excellent series if have a slow pace, is enjoying it.

However it’s on Starzplay so requires additional subscription. We haven’t got round to cancelling ours after subscribing to watch Me Mercedes so we’re okay but otherwise we wouldn’t sign up just to watch it. But Starzplay does have a decent library of box sets.

I did a free trial of Starzplay then cancelled because we never used it. Is it any good? All these additional subscription channels they have really annoy me.

Dunno tbh but if its possible to binge watch perpetual grace on it it will be well worth one months subscription
 
Watched a couple of music films and some music docs started to come up
Mudhoney
Captain Beef heart
Stooges
Fat wreck
Husker du
American hardcore
Devo

Also lots of other skate and 80s computer docs.

Shame it seems impossible to just flick through what is available. You jus have to wait for the algorithm to very very slowly catch up with you. Unlike netflix which seems quite immediate, I thought prime was pret much suggestion free until about a week or so ago. It's been three or four months!
