Anything on Amazon prime worth watching?

Options
Just signed up for the 30 day free trial for the free quick delivery which is really good but not worth the £79.99 on its own. I really want to find some decent entertainment to stream to make it worth while but cannot find anything I like that is free, I searched a couple of films but there was a rental charge for them. Does anyone think the content is any good and what have you streamed from there?

I found the same thing with Netflix uk... Rubbish!

    Really depends what types of programmes and shows interest you.

    I use Amazon Prime Instant Video a few times per week myself.

    Found it exactly the same, anything that interested me/I hadn't seen or wasn't available free elsewhere was premium content.

    I only found a few programmes when I had the trial.

    One was Extant (which is now on SciFi) and it was free.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    I signed up with Netflix to watch Breaking Bad. Very few other things I wanted to watch. Just cancelled my account.

    Constantine, all 10 series of 24, Halt and Catch Fire, The Collector, Battlestar Galactica.

    I'm finding plenty to watch :)

  • Just found Married with children on there. I haven't seen this in years.
    I'm a happy man!
  • Ran a trial of Netflix and Prime, ended up keeping Netflix as prime did not cut it for me. Since supplemented Netflix with Sky movies on Now TV. Never watch live TV so suits me :)
  • If you like american comedies, you should watch Parks and Recreation on Amazon
