Only just signed up to prime so not read the whole thread but idly flicking through I gave Flesh and Bone a go.

It sounds ste. it's about a ballet company in new York. I have no great affection for ballet.

Anyway, it's really good.

Proper bhy girls (and boys). Lap dancing, violence and nudity.

7/10 so far

Still watching Black Sails every Monday as it's the final series, have also just started Outlander which after two episodes seems pretty good.
Series 3 has been epic and brutal too! That keel hauling scene was harsh viewing.

Real shame it's the last.

Agreed. The latter half of S1 seemed to lose direction, but picked up again.

That was my reaction too.

I'm guessing it'll be when the 5th one finishes broadcast and ends up on Amazon, pushing the 4th one down into the inclusive bit. It started yesterday and finishes end of May so some time after that I'd assume.

If only there was some form of shared network based delivery system...

The fourth series was on ITV2 recently. Have you checked catch up on Sky?

Check your equipment (phnaar). I was getting awful sync creep on my Fire TV until I changed the audio-out setting. Good as gold now.

Virgin media straight into the back of a 2016 4k Samsung smart TV (Using Prime app onboard).

What's to check?

I had a very similar issue but with an LG TV. I couldn't resolve it and wasn't down to the connection. In the end it was recommended we factory reset the TV, it worked but felt like a sledge hammer approach to the issue.

Yep - on Virgin to Panasonic Smart TV.

Sync when starting a program is usually fine but it screws up if I pause playback.

Only way to fix it for me is to quit out of the program and then resume it.

So brutal! I've really enjoyed Black Sails, I think it's my joint favourite thing on Amazon, along with Bosch.

Nope, BBC know about it and Amazon have nagged them apparently.
