TV shows from the USA

[alreadypacked]

Anyone got Amazon Prime and browsed through what they are offering free to Prime members?

Had a quick look this morning and couldn't see too much of interest in there. Any recommendations?

Amazon, have started to make their own TV pilots, but they havent gone further with any of them yet.

Transperent is interesting.

We signed up for a free trial (sure we did last year too) but I haven't looked yet. I'm sure there is stuff worth watching but like Netflix it'll be inconsistent - they'll have some new releases first but miss entire swathes of stuff.

People generally say Netflix is better for boxsets and LoveFilm/Amazon streaming for films but it all depends what you want to watch of course.

Heard Netflix is generally better too.

Will be interesting to see how this space evolves over the next few years. Maybe moving into competing for sporting rights for example. Or new films being released directly to them on a PPV basis (this would be a gigantic jump for the film industry!)

True Detective, intriguing story, superb acting, haunting score and the best boobs since Erika Eleniak popped out of a giant cake.

What's not to like? This is my new Breaking Bad.

Go Frank Underwood!!

If Netflix are ever going to better these 2 series then they are really going to have some class programs.

Wouldn't surprise me if everything that they create in future will somehow be a let down, when they have set such a high bar with their first production.

Yes, on Episode 5 at the moment. Really good. And the young lawyer's rack in an earlier episode -

Suits is back, but I thinks I have had enough.

Downloaded and watched the first episode of Hannibal Season 2 last night - awesome show!!

Sounds good. I'll look into it.

Yes, House of Cards 2 was right up there. Kevin Spacey was superb.

I've just finished the first series of Line Of Duty. Far better than Luther. The second series is on at the moment.

I'm also now on the second series of Hatufim (Prisoners of war) on which Homeland is based.

Also working my way through Arrested Development.

Commuting on the train does have some benefits.

Just seen ep 1 of Black Sails, the period pirate piece.

Looks promising but I can't help feeling the bawdiness is just a little gratuitous from what I've seen.
