Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread

Again, so we're not confused:

HBO Go= for cable and satellite subscribers

HBO Now= self contained a la carte service

Content exactly the same on both.

HBO Max= all HBO content and pretty much everything from WB and it's entities.

Except I'm seeing word that HBO Max will be taking over for HBO Go with most cable providers...but we'll have to see if that happens.

This is how Hulu is handling it for us who have HBO as an add-on.

Possible Lisbeth Salander TV show in the works

If they do this then I think they should go after Rooney Mara. She has previously said it was a character she wanted to go back to.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread

Having Disney+ and now HBO Max launched, it just reminds me how crappy Prime's interface is. Like if they just got rid of the limited horizontal lists and actually had a way to list everything actually on the service (and not available for purchase) I would look at this service so much differently than just a perk I get with shipping.

Been saying that for years. My kids hate it, especially when it's so easy to navigate around Netflix and Disney+, and even Hulu.

Amazon may drop The Dukes of Hazard (CBS series) due to it's usage of the Confederate Flag.

It's currently free to watch on the Ad supported IMDB TV portion of Prime video.

The show is currently on sale at Vudu. Seasons are $4.99 each. The Complete Series bundle is $34.99. It's only SD quality.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread

Isn’t there a recently watched list for AP?

I could have sworn it was there, but hell if I can find it. I know I started Fleabag, Hunters, The Boys, started Cougar Town and none of the episodes I watched appear anywhere.

Yes, those shows in my Watchlist, but it should have started me where I left off. It’s been some time since I played them and that might factor, but if I didn’t remember what I saw one time, how the hell am I gonna know where to start? I can’t keep starting over. Got to be somewhere.

Please help. Thank you.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread

If you look at your "Account & Settings" you should see Watch History as part of it.

As an example:
Spoiler:






The only problem is, it only shows the season, rather than individual episodes.

I will add, it's shitty for letting you 'continue watching' something. While watching Black Books, and returning to prime to watch another episode, I had to use 'search' to find it and continue.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread

So it looks like Amazon has added a Watch Party feature. Someone with a prime membership can start an eligible movie or TV show (and control pausing/playing) and invite up to 100 other people, provided they have Prime too. It looks to me like most or all of Prime eligible movies and tv shows are eligibe, but IMDB TV and movies you own are not. Also, I think movies you own that are also prime-eligible are not available, which I have to assume is a glitch and not intended.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread

Mad Men has been licensed out to IMDB TV in the U.S. and Amazon Prime internationally.

Mad Men is returning to streaming via Amazon and coming back to its original TV home, AMC, as Lionsgate has completed licensing deals for one of the signature series in its TV library.

The complex agreement includes global licensing pact with Amazon. The company’s IMDb TV will become Mad Men‘s exclusive free-streaming platform in the US, starting July 15. Amazon Prime will begin carrying all 92 episodes of the series in Europe, Australia, Latin America, and more onJuly 3, Japan, Israel, Indonesia and Thailand on July 15, Canada on October 1 and in the Netherlands starting November 1.

Amazon/IMDb will have Mad Men exclusively from July 15 until Oct. 1 when the entire seven-season run of the series also will become available on a variety of AMC platforms, including the company’s linear networks and SVOD services. Also starting Oct.1, Lionsgate-owned Starzplay will have Mad Men across their European and LatAm footprint as well as in Japan.

It is also re-airing on AMC this Fall.

This is the same kind of stupidity that has the Apple TV Prime Video app have both a Watchlist and Up Next. Movies and TV episodes must be separately added and deleted from both lists. It's really annoying.
Plus I've noticed that when you're finished with a movie it's still in Up Next, albeit pushed to the farthest right slot, and Watchlist, so you have to manually delete it.

They removed Magnum PI (80s) today. Stinks as we just watched Part 1 of the pilot last night and found out today when we went to watch Part 2.

It's probably headed to Peacock since Universal produced it.

Very possible. Amazon shows it is available with a Starz add on.

Yup, Magnum is indeed moving to Peacock. It's part of their initial list

​​​​​​Grumble. I've been casually watching as well. Somewhere around episode 50 or so.

​​​​​​I wish Vudu had it for sale.

I think Magnum may have come out on BD in Europe.

Wouldn’t make a difference for my family, the whole layout is shitty. I can’t believe it took Amazon that long to do profiles.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread

Has anybody found a site listing the titles leaving Amazon Prime Canada? I've found a couple that cover the new titles coming to the service (like Nowtoronto, and Narcity), but the titles being removed is a different matter. I was told about this blog, and it seems pretty accurate, but I don't know how exhaustive it is. If anyone has another source, that'd be appreciated.
