Ha, not kidding about 2 minutes ago I was just looking at it on Prime wondering if it was good and lo and behold a review on Freep.

BTW I just joined Prime last week. What the hell is with the commercials?? I thought joining I wouldn’t get commercials but they do.

They started charging extra for commercial free, recently.

I love Prime. I download t.v. episodes and movies to my phone to watch during my lunch break at work and the downloads don’t seem to include any commercials that I’ve noticed. If downloading is ever an option in your viewing, you might give it a whirl and see if that cuts out the commercials.

Let me clarify that I don’t watch an entire movie during one lunch break, lol; it takes me two to three lunch breaks for most movies.

We’ve been watching Prime — the new season of Bosch Legacy is there now. It’s nowhere as good as the original Bosch series, but this 3rd season of Legacy is the best.

You have to pay extra to rid of the ads. The payments come out separately on a monthly basis, but you have to sign up for ad-free.

TW I just joined Prime last week. What the hell is with the commercials?? I thought joining I wouldn’t get commercials but they do.

My wife and I have been on Prime when it was only called Amazon.   There is a plethora of films that don't have commercials, but many studios or networks have contracted with Prime to get a cut of the gate so to speak on the front end.   Prime seems to rotate some of their movies between no commercials as we signed up for, then added commercials to watch, with a third category of pay-per-view.

I just ignore the last two categories.   I'm slightly chagrined to reveal that I have about 420 movies on my watchlist.   But many of those I have already seen, some more than once and someday might go back and watch them.

Some of the content we have greatly enjoyed is the Amazon Originals movies.

Those commercials on Prime will drive you crazy. Get familiar with your mute button.

“I thought joining I wouldn’t get commercials but they do.”

amazon is desperate for revenue and added ads some time ago, but there offer an ad-free version of prime for a couple of extra bucks a month now ...

If your into crime drama,I highly recommend Bosch. Best show ever. LAPD homicide detective.

5 season, then 3 more seasons after he retired from LAPD.
