Free trial of Amazon Prime

[EasternDailyStress]

Which are the best things to watch please? Only have a month's free trial so want to watch the good stuff before it runs out!

I thought all was free to watch on Prime but everything I want to watch is asking for payment! Or is everything free during the free trial?

Not everything is free but there is a lot of free stuff, but it's mostly old films and TV shows, or stuff you've never heard of. The interface is a bit rubbish to navigate. You have to look for "included on prime", or the lack of a little padlock on each show/film. Newer films and shows cost extra. We're with Virgin, and some movies were cheaper to just rent on Virgin than Prime. I was disappointed with the lack of "free" stuff. There are lots of extra add-on "channels" yoo can pay for (a few £ a month) for certain genres (horror, sci-fi, etc). I'm pretty disappointed with it, but might keep after the free month during lockdown as the kids find random crap on there to keep them entertained.

I live in Australia, so probably a different set up for Prime, and probably different programmes, because I have found some great things - all free - on it.

"Star Trek; Picard" is my next watch.

I just watched "Justified" and thought it was absolutely great. Well written and acted, great characters and a very nice wry sense of humour. Timothy Olyphant plays a Deputy US Marshall and is the stuff of dreams in it.

"Little Fires everywhere" - loved it
