I wonder if people sign up to Prime for the free delivery and deals more than the streaming tv service. Because every time I've tried the tv service I've found it to be highly rubbish. Poor selection, usually watched everything on it I want to see in a week, and don't touch it for the rest of the free trial month.

But the free delivery service is excellent.

The only thing I've watched on it was the first episode of "The Man in the High Castle"

American Gods for me.

I think I got as far as episode 3 before tedium set in. Such an interesting premise, but such a dull show.

It's a really good book, too. Even Rufus Sewell couldn't save the series, though.

That's what the very article says.

I use it all the time. There are tons of options. And, they have lots of quality original programming.

It works way better with a streaming app like Roku. If you go via a browser, it's a big pain and not very user friendly. It's bad enough that it might be hard, for a new user, to find stuff. But, via an app, it now slightly better than Netflix, seeing as Netflix messed up its new algorithm. With Prime, you get that, a load of streaming music, and free shipping. It's honestly the best value subscription I have.

I have some serious ethical problems with some of Amazon's practices. But, my Prime membership isn't one of them.
