I'd say spoilers are fine in a series-specific thread.

In threads like this and the netflix one, I don't think it's the right place for them, as people are 'shopping' for things to watch in these threads.

Yeah I agree 100% this and the Netflix threads are for recommendations it’s like looking at IMDb. There’s absolutely no need to post any spoilers in this thread,

If they've not seen it they won't know who they are anyway, so how can it be a spoiler? - we are on Season 5 after all wobble
"Don't get too invested in this character - they die later on" is a spoiler, surely?

It's like finding out who won a race before you sit down to watch it - you can still enjoy seeing how they won but it doesn't remove the fact that you know that they did.

Anyway, moving on...

Don't know if it's been mentioned but if you like Modern Family check out Life In Pieces, very similar premise, slightly different execution and slightly more adult humour but still kid friendly, I think it is rated as a 12 on Amazon.

Land of Mine, very good ultimately heart warming twist on a little known WWII story 8/10

Lord of War, just a great film, if you haven't seen it 8/10

I Haven’t used the Firestick a huge amount since getting it - I did enjoy The Grand Tour and finding series 2 easy watching.

So have now started to play around to see what is available. My youngest was ill on Sunday so watched 4 films, all kids ones ranging from Beethoven’s 2nd to School of Rock!

To pass the time I watched San Andreas.

But have just discovered Jean Claude Van Johnson. Watched 2 episodes and loving it for being just silly. Not sure how new it is, but I’m really enjoying it.
Time cop is one of my favourite films, so a bit of JCVD is always fun. Seeing him in this action, comedy, parody is really enjoyable. Just fun TV.

Will try and find some more gems now.

Not amazon per se but using the iplayer within.

We just found "In the line of duty". A BBC detective drama focusing on the antics of the anti corruption unit. I never really have any real interest in police or crime dramas but this is excellent so far.

Where'd that come from then? Is it Chinese whispers about the YouTube app being pulled?

It better not do. I'll be cancelling prime if they do!

I know they are planning on pulling Youtube (but that may change) but not iplayer.

You got a source for this?

I think Iplayer being pulled is BS

I saw that firefox and silk have been added and the former has a decent youtube viewer so thats that worry ended . Game, set and match to Amazon?

12 Monkeys TV series is now up as inclusive. Worth a look.

Galactica is too if anyone is interested.
