any opinions on Prime Video?

I'm struggling to rationalize giving $79 Canadian to Amazon. I did like the first season of Goliath - which I've watched on the free trial - but for the most part I'm underwhelmed by the TV and movie offering. It seems to be much slimmer pickings than the movie package from Bell Canada so I doubt I could save $22 per month by cancelling that. Am I missing something?

there are some movies available on Amazon not on Netflix - stan2 10:45:45 09/17/18 (0)
Not that I can think of a specific one right now. And some good series. It's free with Amazon Prime which we do anyhow. There's also a fair amount of music and Alexa can get you there easily enough.

"Alexa: play some blues on Prime music". Hardwire the Echo to a decent powered speaker and there it'll be.

I also just found out that Amazon Prime includes free e-magazines, so there's that
I just buy them - bullethead 18:53:59 08/30/18 (0)
Just buy them, cheaper for me for two a year. What's that $20?
All the movies for no cost are F rated. They should all be free, not worth paying for. What is price now $100 that's nuts.

Add me to the Prime owners. Here in the states Amazon is just so damn convenient. Prime is a no brainer for my needs. Their video offerings are far from what is available on Netflix, but they are growing their production of new series.

As volunteer said, its part of Amazon prime.
I get prime for the 2 day shipping. It pays for itself in 1-2 months. As far as prime video goes, it's not any worse than any other streaming service.
Current movies and such usually aren't free on Amazon Prime. Then again, they tend to not exist on Netflix. In all honesty, I'm not overly thrilled with either streaming service. Neither one of their HD streaming is even close to Blu-Ray. I'm not set up for 4k right now, so I can't comment on that.

Since it's packaged with Amazon Prime I think it is a bargain. I'm not aware of s streaming service that provides everything.
