I loving hate Amazon streaming. I mean the original stuff they're doing is fine, but I don't get a streaming service that also serves as a rental service at the same time, particularly when they do the trick of making the later seasons of something chargeable. Also, it's hilarious to see how inept Sons of Anarchy is this season (Apply that to the last few). Sutter is utterly unaware of how his characters come across.

The HBO Collection makes Amazon Prime worth it for at least a month or two, but otherwise there isn't really enough content to keep it around indefinitely, since the film selection is pretty much "Netflix, but less" and Hulu has a generally much better TV selection. Also, Amazon has the worst interface of all three, which is quite the accomplishment.

I'm wondering if HBO will pull all their content from all the streaming providers when they launch streaming only HBO Go.

Yeah but in terms of pure value Prime also offers a bunch of free music as well as Prime shipping so it's a little different. Still, I wouldn't be paying for it if it hadn't auto-renewed for a year on me already.

Wow, Agents of Shield did actually become watchable about fourteen episodes in. Such a shame that the first dozen were so bad they made people literally poo poo themselves to death.

Season 4 of American Horror Story is one hell of a polished turd. I'm not going to keep watching it because so much of the material is gross (and the funny thing is, I'm not at all referring to what the "freaks" look like) but goddamn it is so well made I wish I were interested in it.

Is this show going to be cancelled? Because I love it and want it to go away never. It's basically Happy Endings with slightly different characters but I adored Happy Endings.

Thanks to whoever recommended Transparent. I threw it on as something to watch while I practice guitar and I've become totally engrossed. What a powerful show.

CBS' Supergirl series is starting to look for their lead actress, and there's a surprising lack of "Superman" to be found. Refreshing, really, if she is Superman instead.

It doesn't say in that article, but the casting is being done by the same guy that cast Amell as Ollie Queen and Gustin as Barry Allen.

Cinemax has been building up its own original programming, so Starz isn't even solidly ahead of that.

Cinemax > Starz Starz might have gotten the slight edge when it was airing Spartacus but now I would be totally fine divorcing Starz from my cable package if I could do it easily, with no loss of anything else, and for some actual savings. Cinemax has some fun shows like Banshee and Strike Back, and I still haven't given The Knick a try.
