You get everything in the TV, movies sections that are marked "Prime" - it's a fair old wack of content.
If it were me, I'd be hacking the Fire Stick and loading Kodi onto it.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Lots of good series and movies. Better selection than Netflix IMO. At least, unlike Netflix, you can see what's showing without having to cough up:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Prime-Video/b/ ... 3280626031

Anything with the prime banner on is included.

The FireTV interface is a bit poo (and about to get worse, I suspect), but if you keep digging you can find some interesting obscure films.

You also get the free next day delivery on everything sold by Amazon which is why I initially got Prime.

If you are interested in sideloading Kodi or similar on there then have a look at aftvnews.com for guides and info.

There are some awesome deals on the NowTV Smart box (don't get the cheaper one, it's <beep>) at the moment. I find myself watching NowTV much more than Amazon Prime these days.
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper
