I would research that first before going further. Very frustrating otherwise.
At episode 8, I think I've already passed the point of no return! 
The Americans seem the worst at cutting series off with no notice.

Finished S4 of Bosch. As good as the other seasons. I got a little bored near the end.
Watching Lethal Weapon (the original movie) at the moment as it's on there for a limited time. It holds up.
I liked all the seasons of Bosch but agree it did drag out a little. Still a great show though.Watching Lethal Weapon (the original movie) at the moment as it's on there for a limited time. It holds up.
I also liked Black Sails but thought the ending was lame.
First season of Sneaky Pete was good, got 2 episodes into S2 and gave up as I just couldn't get further into it.
Now watching The Tick and enjoying it so far, albeit only on Ep 3.
Just cancelled my Prime subscription. It just doesn't compare to Netflix in terms of quality programs and i hate that you find something that looks interesting and then realize you have to pay extra to watch it. That said im sure as soon as a new season of Vikings or the Grand tour comes out i will be back.

One episode a week, im going to let it build up a little then have a binge.
Red Oaks is worth a watch if your after something easy watching.
Didnt realise it was once a week as im rebinging on Black Sails.Red Oaks is worth a watch if your after something easy watching.
Theyve done an All or Nothing Series on the All Blacks that could be worth a watch, you can tell the series has benefitted from doing the American Football

Prime is worth it for the amazon deliveries. I get my money back easily just from this. But the TV on its own is fairly dire and it’s absolutely not worth it if you don’t order a lot online.

Agree wholeheartedly. The delivery bit is worth it, but Netflix knocks spots off Prime for content.But the TV on its own is fairly dire and it’s absolutely not worth it if you don’t order a lot online.
If you are signing up for Prime solely for Video then it probably isn't worth it. But that's because it has always been an "extra" that is included with Prime rather than its core focus. You really have to be committed to Amazon ecosystem to get full benefit - ie. buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, listen to music, watch videos, etc.
For me, the free delivery and, more crucially, free returns have always been my primary reason for having Prime, although possibly it's because I've been a member of Prime since the time when that was all there was. Each new thing, including Video, has been added to my membership over the years so that's how I see it. But I can see how someone coming in now would think that Prime was all about the Video with some extras like delivery, rather than the other way round.

Thanks for that, I had heard of it before but never knew it was any good, started watching over the weekend and enjoying it so far. Although, it doesnt show up on my Austrian version of amazon prime so I have been using kodi instead... 
I think I will try a VPN to get it to switch to the UK version if that works, although it may be tied to the account instead of location.
The thing that annoys me the most however, is when they have a British/American TV show or movie which is only available in dubbed German!
I've mentioned it before, but I'm watching it again so will mention it again, Patriot. One of the best things I've ever seen on TV. Sort of black comedy but in a very low key sort of way, the plot is almost surreal but not really, and the photography is superb. Really needs to be watched on a large screen to appreciate if fully.
Apparently Amazon renewed it in 2017 so hopefully there will be some more soon.

Not seen anyone mention Cloak and Dagger. It seems Amazon are now on the Marvel series bandwagon and this is the tale of two opposite side of the tracks, fall in love, destiny etc. looks a bit Romeo and Juliet but with super powers.
Watched the first, which was slow but I'll probably try a few more. It's not currently a must watch.

So is it not a teenage angst thing about becoming/being a lesbian but having super powers?Watched the first, which was slow but I'll probably try a few more. It's not currently a must watch.
Thats the impression i got from the blurb
