Amazon Prime Video, General Discussion [Ireland]

Three have stopped using phone credit for Prime Video membership.

I notice they added the first 2 seasons of 'The Handmaids Tale' so it's all up there for watching now, might finally get around to it now.

Anyone watched the devil's hour yet? Reviews look really strong.

Binged the first 5 episodes of The Devil's Hour over the bank holiday and would have finished it out last night other than it was 2am when we finished episode 5... hoping it ties itself up nicely as there's a lot to bring together/explain in the last episode...

The last episode is by far the best episode. Very good mini series overall.

Search for Season 5 again. You will locate a block with all episodes intact rather than continued watch from one you ended up in.

Season 7 of Fear the Walking Dead isn't there because it hasn't dropped on the platform yet.

I checked there when I search for it on app 'Vikings', two season 5 part 1's appear and yes the top one has all episodes the bottom of which then you are referring I'd say just episodes 5 and 7 showing.

I finished The Devil's Hour and really enjoyed it. I would like a second season, although it could stand perfectly well as a one-off. Strong performances from the cast and a lot of characters to care about. Only thing I didn't really like was the use of music in certain scenes which didn't add anything imo.

If you like how it resolved the overall storyline in the final episode, check out this book which deals with a similar concept:

Just finished The Devil's Hour.

Brilliant watch.

Neighbours is back: Amazon resurrects hit soap

Three months after it stopped broadcasting, the Australian soap is being revived for a new series by the streaming giant, starring favourite old characters

Amazon clearly believe that everybody needs good Neighbours. After the long-running antipodean soap opera stopped broadcasting in July, the streaming giant has decided to save it.

A new series will start filming in Australia next year, after the production company Fremantle signed a deal with Amazon Freevee. A number of fan favourites are due to return, including Stefan Dennis as Paul Robinson, Alan Fletcher as Karl Kennedy, Jackie Woodburne as Susan Kennedy and Ryan Moloney as Toadie Rebecchi.

“Neighbours is a unique series with a powerful connection with its fans across the world,” said Jennifer Mullin, Fremantle’s CEO. “We cherish the show and all those who have been part of its incredible story over many decades, so we are thrilled that we have found a new home.”

Is Amazon Freevee available in Ireland or might it end up on Amazon Prime here?

No it isn't but if they are Freevee originals they likely be on there here alright.

If its licensed content (e.g. 30 Rock) that's on there you wanting unlikely to be on Prime at same time.

I enjoyed it right up to the last few minutes. I didn’t like how it ended.

Not saying it was bad ending, just that I found it unsatisfying.

Thanks for the heads-up. Outside of the app itself, have you come across a good listing of new additions for Amazon Prime Ireland?

I can find lists for US version, but that doesn't always track for Ireland.

Yeah I use that in general too pretty accurate

I watched a movie with Woody Harellson about two soldiers that are assigned the mission of informing the next of kin of deceased soldiers killed in action.

The Messenger (2009) is a very good film

Watching first episode of Three Pines. It is set in Canada, brings in tensions with indigenous communities in Quebec. Main actor is Brit Alfred Molina who is very good in it as a detective in the Maigret mould. Reminds me of Cardinal also. I like what I have seen so far but wonder how well they will stretch it out into a series.

Are the Premier League games on the 26th on Amazon Prime ROI or is that just for the UK?
