can someone explain please

my wife has amazon prime and she shares it with me

is amazon prime video a different thing? I don't seem to be able to watch anything without having to pay

AFAIK you can't share prime video to a different amazon account if you are in Ireland. But you can use your wife's account details to log in and view.

Recently on Prime Video they introduced different accounts like Netflix does so each family member can have their own main screen.

Under suspicion.... HACKMAN vs FREEMAN.....strange and intense movie..... worth a watch though

Enjoying the Spurs All or Nothing series so far. As much as I like Pochettino, I think the series would have been much less captivating if he were him at the helm instead of Mourinho, who is really carrying the programme for me.

The boys season 2 is out

Didn't really like it in comparison to Sunderland till I die. Very edited and scripted in parts I think.

We watched Fracture last night - Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling. A decent (albeit a bit slow going) legal thriller with some nice twists along the way.

Only the first three episodes.

The remaining five episodes will be released weekly.

ah, this I didn't know. Personally I prefer this release model.

I binged the first season in a weekend last year and kind of ruined it for myself. This was puts manners on me.

Apple follow this model as well. I suppose it doesnt make sense to put millions into each episode, for people to binge them over the course orf a week.

Just watched episode 1 of season 2 of the boys
Not sure there is as much drive or purpose to the story but only 1 ep in....It is a LOT of fun!

Also loved Aya Cash in you're the worst, she is a terrific addition as stormfront

Hello, I got in contact with Amazon about transfering my account to the UK version of Prime and the customer service rep stated that there was no option to transfer prime subscription to the UK. They said I would have to sign up again to the UK account.

They must be cracking down on the ROI accounts

Did you originally sign up amazon.com or amazon.co.uk?

Full_Circle_81

I started watching The Bureau last week and Amazon seem to have pulled it. I wish they'd put up expiry dates like Netflix do...

Realtai

Quazzie, I originally signed up a long time ago to the co.uk one, with my Revolut card. Then, for various reasons I switched to my normal debit card, and the whole Amazon account switched to .com.



I suppose the only solution is to use my revolut card to sign up to the co.uk one again?



Is there much more to watch, on the UK one compared to the Irish one? Or is it near enough the same, except for the football matches?

It's fun, not life changing or anything, but a few laughs.

Fleabag season 2 isn't appearing on my prime, don't think it ever has. And it's been on my watchlist since I signed up for prime!

fman

Fleabag is one of those weird ones. If you search for fleabag, you will find it, season 1 available and 2 not.
BUT if you search for fleabag season 2, you should find it and in its listing season 1 isn't available. Weird, confusing and valid as of earlier today if nothing has changed in the mean time.
I've had a similar thing for the Americans, seasons 1-4 and then 5-6 in different blocks.

Watched Masterchef Ireland over the last week never seen it. Am dipping in and out of Hell’s Kitchen USA too. A lot of stuff on prime I wasn’t aware of. The app isn’t very user friendly beyond the headline category items.

Watching a cop show called Bosch at the moment, four episodes in and it’s slow but quite good.

Thank you!! I'd thought I'd seen season 2 on it before but it never showed as being on prime in my watchlist

I think the same thing happens with one season of Futurama as well.

I find it a bit of a PITA to navigate in comparison to NF, but search seems to work ok. Just searched Gordon Ramsay for example and it does bring up all of his prime shows.

That's all I need, cheers Bit of light entertainment in a movie that isn't American for a change, to go with me Bulmer's at the weekend.

In fairness, I wish Netflix would be like Prime where you can see things in your watchlist have been removed.

beauf

In my Prime it doesn't remove things, they just switch to paid without telling me.

Amazon are making the move into rugby broadcasting - Snapped up rights to England home games this autumn. Would mean Ireland's game in Twickenham would only be on Amazon, Aviva matches remain on RTÉ on Channel 4.

Grinders is a good documentary about some dead end poker players.

I might actually give that a try [used to play a lot myself, it was a dead end for me!] - But, says it's not available in my location?

Only option it'll give me is to buy the HD version for 9.99

golfball37

I watched the first 3 episodes of fleabag a few weeks ago. I went to return to it last night and only season 2 was available for me but season one was still on the app.

A few things on my watch list are no longer available now either.

beauf

After having Prime Video for about 6 months have to say the revolving door of can you see something or not, is really wearing me down. I'll probably cancel it.

I really hope I didn’t pay €10 for it !!!

I see 71 has been added, absolutely cracking film set in the troubles, with a British soldier having to survive on the streets of belfast after a riot

71 is also only availbe to rent/DL for me here.

I've got access to both '71 and Grinders. I'm on Prime Video Ireland.

Not sure what's up in that case, will have to look into it. It's allowing me watch other current stuff like The Boys and Get Duked, but the two above, they want me to pay to rent

Mad Men arriving to Amazon on Friday

I've been making my way through Mad Men for the last month, what a show! Since March I've watched Oz, The Shield and Mad Men. Mad Men has been my favourite. The show is a slow burner but manages not to be boring at the same time. Great acting, some great comic moments and the era is captured well.

71 is excellent. Well worth a watch.

The gambler is a great documentary about a young/ very south Dublin gambler.... a real snapshot of Ireland at the time

Thats the error I get when I try to access Prime Video using my Irish account on an app meant for UK accounts ie. my firestick. I had to download the correct app for it to work on the firestick.

Blumhouse Television and Amazon Studios have teamed up to conjure Welcome to the Blumhouse, a collection of all-new, diversely-themed, brand-unified films from the eponymous fabricators of film frights, arriving just in time for a Halloween season that—unprecedentedly—won’t likely involve trick-or-treating. The first four in a total of eight films will have dual premieres on Amazon Prime Video across two weeks, starting on October 6, with Black Box and Evil Eye, followed by The Lie and Nocturne on October 13.

These look interesting.
I would be a tad weary of blumhouse tv productions though that other horror series they did "into the dark" was pretty poor overall, these look a bit more glossy with bigger cast names in them.

I use prime on the PC, will have to delve into the settings. I've not used prime video much, only recently, so not very familiar with it

[edit] Got it sorted, I can access those programs via the Prime app for windows, I was just using the web browser. Still odd, but hey, it's working
