I have one week of Amazon Prime, is there anything I should watch?

I was ordering something and there was an offer of one week for 99p. I had Prime for a month a while ago in order to watch The Expanse and Good Omens, but I don't know what else there is that I might like. I find Prime difficult to browse compared to Netflix so I don't know what I'm missing. I sci-fi, humour and the occasional romance.

The Boys is amazing.

Parks and recreation

Definitely The Boys. It’s dark but fantastic!

I'll check out The Boys, thanks.

I'm not sure about Outlander. I tried the books because so many people were raving about them, but really, really didn't like the first one. And I'm generally quite partial to a time travel story, but I found it all very contrived and the female protagonist hugely irritating. That said, the actor playing Jamie is a bit of a looker.

That's plenty to be getting on with, thanks. Any that I don't get to I'll save for the next Prime special offer.

Mumsnet is so much more convenient than just trawling through lists. Grin

As someone who has watched Outlander and is only just getting into the book - trust me, the programme is much better! The book is hard going.

Bubbletrouble43 · 24/08/2019 20:50

Outlander. Love it.

LittleLebowski · 26/08/2019 13:45

Agree with Boys -so funny. For sci-fi The Expanse is without doubt the best series I've seen since Battlestar Galactica. Takes a few episodes to get in as it's quite a complex universe, but was incredible and saved from cancellation on Sy Fi by Amazon Prime.

LittleLebowski · 26/08/2019 13:46

Sorry - so stupid just reread your OP!Blush I loved The Expanse! Grin

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 26/08/2019 13:49

I'm making my way through Downton from the beginning. Bliss.
