Jack Ryan on Amazon looks good in previews, but wont subscribe to watch it.

There are always ways around that.

I watched the first episode of castle rock. I liked it

Not sure how anyone lives without a Prime subscription though.

Been watching suits recently. On season 2, it's pretty good. I saw Goliath season 2 came out but haven't been able to watch it. Hopefully Ozark is as good as season 1.

Stick with it. It really starts to pay off around episode 4. The rest of the season is fantastic. 

It definitely got better, but I legit still hate all of them. Which is fine. You don't have to like characters for a show to be good. But sheesh. Give me someone likeable next season, please.

I've never had a Prime subscription, so I wouldn't know the difference.

Suits is excellent.  Been catching up on Elementary, as well.  Between Hackers and Trainspotting, when I saw he was the lead in Elementary playing Sherlock Holmes, I knew it would be good.  Doesn't disappoint.

The money for Prime is worth the free shipping and shit getting to me same day or a day later. The incredible shows and movies they offer is just an added bonus. 

I’d give up Netflix before Prime, but realistically wouldn’t give up either.

I honestly don't get things shipped to me that often, either.  I don't shop online much, though I suppose if I did, it would definitely make sense to get Prime.

I've never had Netflix, either.  What's the big distinguishing difference between Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and others like Sling?  I was always curious, but never enough to actually pay for any of them.

In 2018, the original content definitely adds to the appeal, besides the whole "cord cutting" aspect.

Well, Sling is a cable provider. So its live television.

Netflix and Hulu are streaming services with older content. Neither has sports live (like Sling), but have original content. Netflix has the best original content of them all. Prime you get Amazon Music included, video streaming (similar to Netflix, but different original content) and the shipping benefits. Plus a few other perks (but I only use video, music and shipping).

I have Sling, Prime, Netflix and HBO/Showtime. I pay about $100 less a month than my friends with cable packages.

Damn.  Thanks for the breakdown.  I may at least look into Prime.  I find most of the original content shows elsewhere from across those platforms.  Looks like Prime is even offering 10 TNF games this year, as well.

Yeah, Prime will likely be adding live sports even more over the years. This is the 3rd year they’ve had TNF games I think. 

Also with Amazon Prime you can connect it to your Twitch account and get Twitch Prime for free to subscribe to your favorite streamer every 30 days.

I’d be surprised if more than a couple of us on here watch anyone on twitch.

Don't you have to pay extra for this?  Or can you access any song on their library, anywhere, and create playlists as well?
