Amazon Prime Video, what gems have you found? (NO SPOILERS)

[bingybongy]

Second series of Bosch available.
Watched the first one and it seems the standard has been kept up.
Lovely visuals as well.

Hap and Leonard, a new series that has just been made available on Prime, starring James Purfoy and Michael Williams and set in the '80's. Really liked the pilot, and now episode 2 is available.

Not sure who recommended it a few pages back but thanks for Tourettes De France.
A very informative, insightful, sensitively-handled documentary that just happened to be fking funny !

These are based on the books by Joe R Lansdale, which are very good. Was a tad surprised to see Purfoy as Hap though.

Loving the Lucifer series. Entertainingly shallow.

Yes, Lucifer is a lot better than it really ought to be, we like that a lot, too.

New Yorker has been entertaining and interesting so far.

Do you get Mad Dogs in UK..?
Funny and serious at the same time. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I think it was a spin off from a Uk series originally.

I watched the first four episodes last night, different, but I really enjoyed it

Another favourite here. A night with his assistant would be interesting.

Never saw the UK version but thought this was brilliant. They way they try to get out of each situation and just dig deeper

Watched the pilot today, really liked it. Currently ripping a couple more episodes to watch on my commute.

I watched Gascoigne last night. Very moving and a real insight into the highs and extreme lows of an ordinary lad, who happened to be a genius at footy.

He is exactly 1 year younger than me to the day and I remember Italia 90 vividly, was a great time for me personally.

Anybody got any new finds/recommendations ?

[JohnStitch]

Noticed that Legend (the Krays film with Tom Hardy) is on there now - love that film.

And not sure if it's been mentioned on this thread as only recently joined it, but there's a documentary called Precinct Seven Five, about a SERIOUSLY corrupt police dept in New York - an unbelievable story, and well worth watching - how those guys lived like that and slept at night I'll never know

Halt and Catch Fire:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/I-O/dp/B00O4ZT2FQ/ref=sr_...

"Set in the early 1980s, this series dramatizes the personal computing boom through the eyes of a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy whose innovations directly confront the corporate behemoths of the time. Their personal and professional partnership will be challenged by greed and ego while charting the changing culture in Texas' Silicon Prairie."

Have almost finished the first season in just three days! Very good.

Get even better in season 2.

Can I ask if anybody else experiences trouble with the Prime Video Launcher Android app ?

Episodes of TV shows can be randomly missing, despite being available on the web.

For example, with me episodes 2 and 7 are missing from Preacher, but all 8 are on the website. Seems to happen totally at random on any TV series. It's a little annoying.

[Lucas Ayde]

Saw they had 'Prison Break' and finally got around to watching it (have been meaning to catch up with the show for years as I missed it when it was first on TV).

After having binged the first few episodes I can see why it was so popular at the time, it's really good and holds up well even nearly a decade later. Though I hear it goes downhill fast after the first couple of seasons.

[Kermit power]

Anyone else watching Braindead? Rather good fun, although it will annoy you if you don't like "You may think" by the Cars!

It did 'go downhill', but I still couldn't stop watching it!
