    Random episodes of Vikings are “unavailable”.

    I’ve tried reporting it to Amazon customer service but they are waffling about about Brexit or telling me use the browser site.

    Does this happen a lot on prime?

    Will they episode return in soon?

    I think they have definitely changed something in last couple of weeks. Bloody Brexit!
    Shows that used to work for me now don't (e.g. seinfeld).
    They now only work with a vpn set to uk - so you could try that with a missing episode to see if it works (get a vpn trial). there may be some geoblocking gone wrong or something.

    I find their app on Android tv to be buggy also but that's another issue.

    The episodes were available again today.

    Each support agent yesterday went straight to blaming Brexit but if Brexit has had had an effect on licensing then it would have the whole series or at least the whole season.

    I went to watch new American gods and got not available. But worked with uk vpn.
    And that's their own bloody show.

    This happened with Supernatural before they lost the rights to the show. All episodes were removed shortly after.

    First episode of season 3 worked for me the other night.

    Its only kind of their show, US first airings are on Starz. Think they have the US streaming and international rights.

    Those episodes of Vikings became unavailable again the following morning.

    I got support agent after support agent telling me it was due to Brexit until eventually I got an agent willing to report it as technical issue.
