What I’ve added to my Watchlist: The Expanse (I’m annoyed Season 3 is not on Prime.) The Tick Electric Dreams Marvelous Mrs Maisel Brittania Kung Fu Panda (The Prime Original TV Series) Can anyone recommend any of the anime series? ---

> [@bmoak](#): > > Can anyone recommend any of the anime series? I believe that in the US, Prime has both season 1 and season 2 of _Yuki Yuna is a Hero_? I love the show, even if the first season takes a bit to get going. Here in Canada they only have season 2, so be careful. If the first episode you see is about a Washio Sumi, that’s the second season. You will be horribly confused if you try to start with the second season. 🙂 If they still have _Made in Abyss_ and _Princess Principal_, both are excellent shows. _Girls’ Last Tour_ and _The Land of the Lustrous_ both got good reviews but I haven’t seen them myself (although Lustrous apparently ends on one hell of a cliffhanger, so be warned there). _Happy Sugar Life_ was quite good for what it was, but personally I found the story so damn depressing I wasn’t able to finish it. ---

The historical documentary “Rome: Empire without Limit” is fantastic and very watchable if you have any interest in history. ---

I’ll second **Bosch**. We just finished it, and it’s a really good police procedural with great acting from everyone - especially Titus Welliver (Silas Adams on Deadwood) as Harry Bosch. ---

> [@dalej42](#): > > If you’ve got any interest in Doctor Who, Amazon Prime is the only place you’ll see the new series in the USA. They also have classic game shows and they have the James Bond movies this month Not too be contrary, but YouTube TV has Doctor Who up to the current episodes in it’s base package. Anyway, I’m kind of surprised no one has mentioned Orphan Black. Not for everyone I’m sure, but Tatiana Maslany is freaking amazing in it. ---

We’re in the midst of watching _Patriot_ now. It’s not one of their better shows. Incredibly sloooow paced. ---

If you like dry British humor, the first two seasons of _Detectorists_ is free on Prime. Very good. ---

The Newsroom. A friend turned me onto this and it is some the best TV in recent years. Deadwood (and if you liked that, you might also like Justified) As mentioned “The Detectorists” is great, but not for everyone. I love it, though. There are some good movies, but you can also waste a lot of time searching through all the crap they also have (for free).
