I know it's not Disney / Netflix, but am I the only one surprised by how good and unappreciated Prime Video is? I find there's some good stuff on there and it's all bundled in with my Prime subscription so as a long-term Prime subscriber I feel like I basically get it for free. The Boys is amazing for example, probably the best superhero show I've ever watched. Amazon Music got a nice upgrade recently as well with more albums included with the standard Prime subscription.

It's usually an expression, but you may, in fact, be the only one.

Prime is the UHF of streaming platforms carrying the WTBS catalog of content.

It's free, towards the end of the dial, and almost all re-runs with the occasional trophy showpiece.

I can’t name a single other great show from Prime. It’s just the Boys.

I mean… they just bought it recently, the show is not really Prime’s accomplishment. Kudos to Amazon for letting the show film its final season though!

I liked Tales from the Loop and A Very English / Very British Scandal. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel wasn't my cup of tea, but it seemed well done.

Not alone, but I'm kinda amazed how many people discount all the good prime originals that are available.
