Disagree, prime has a lot of the more niche and interesting shows and movies. Tons of Indy films you can't find elsewhere like Coherence, a great movie I would never have seen if not for Prime suggesting it.

    Prime is how I watched Women Talking and The Lighthouse. I was even going to crack and finally pay to rent The Lighthouse then I saw it was finally free on Prime. They definitely have some niche films.

    I have only ever used prime as a last resort. I don't watch much TV but what's available through prime is usually pretty bad IMHO. I would go as far as to say if someone goes to prime to watch things like rings of power then they probably have bad taste.

    Invincible, The Boys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Good Omens, The Expanse, The Wilds, and Fleabag

    All good stuff. Your comment is like me saying HBOmax sucks because Saints of Newark is on it.
