Anyone watching Preacher on Prime?
Does anyone watch Prime?
I had Prime for a while but it crapped itself on me.
This is what happened: I signed up for it with my amazon account. It worked fine in Taiwan for quite a few months. I think the problem is that I sometimes change my address on amazon to the US so I can purchase certain things that are US-only.
It somehow changed my accountās location to the USA, and I couldnāt do anything about it. I could watch the US programming on my PS4 using a DNS, but I couldnāt watch the Taiwan content on any device no matter what I did. So I went into my account to check my billing history. Couldnāt view it. The site told me to check my amazon account, amazon told me I had no billing history. Still donāt know what happened and when.
Iāll probably sign up for a new account using a different email address.
I use it for the 2 day shipping.
A few years back when netflix pulled 24 I would stream it on prime. No longer the case.
Except for video, Prime is effectively useless to international customers. Except I think if you live in Singapore.
Unless something has changed.
Since I am signed up for Prime, I get these ads for new shows on Prime and I get all excited to see them and thenā¦I learn they have been geographically blocked.
Check out www.primevideo.com. Basically international customers can sign up just for the movie streaming. But if you have prime in the US it doesnāt mean you can stream overseas. Youāll need to sign up again.
Itās not a bad deal for people in Taiwan to get more content than whatās on Netflix, but the Chinese subtitles arenāt always included on Prime and even if they are, sometimes they donāt work on the PS4/XBOX apps. They do have some good stuff though.
Did anybody watch that new Seth MacFarlane show āThe Orvilleā? I honestly thought itād be funnier. It started off quirky enough, but not a laugh a minute or anything. Towards the middle I started to get worried it would be entirely about the relationship between all of these characters, but then they threw in some sci fi action at the end. It was okay but a bit lackluster. Galaxy Quest, it aināt.
Thanks, watched a few eps last night, very enjoyable and will continue.

So watching Season 3 of āRick and Mortyā on Netflix. And, am I going batshit insane with a fucking decaying memory, or did this cocksucker show use to have uncut audio for the swear words rather than the bleeped out **** I suddenly have to ****ing put up with now? ****s. Has it changed or am I misremembering?
(God, I canāt swear for ****. Stupid Canadian upbringing.)
The Expanse and Travelers, both on Netflix.

I started to watch elementary on Netflix. Itās great and so much better than Sherlock by BBC. I just canāt stand any British TV shows for some reason. And itās a nice twist to cast a female Watson and have Sherlock come to New York.

Or watch Little Britain.
Donāt watch Little Britain, itās terrible. It was terrible even back then. Iām not sure who sold their soul to get ratings on that turd.
If someone doesnāt like Black Mirror, Iām really not sure what to recommend. The showās an anthology so each episode is different, but they all have the same tech-based Twilight Zone-y motif. Some are better than others but the showās solid as a whole.
Some episodes make me uncomfortable and make squirm around a bitā¦ you knowā¦ like a pigā¦ (Youāre welcome everybody who has seen the first episode and now canāt get the picture out of their head)
I did the same thing without knowing anything about it going in. Was very disappointed/not impressed with the first episode, but thought Iād give it the benefit of the doubt. Only got through maybe one or two more episodes and couldnāt stand it.
Am I the only one who cringes when that girl speaks Chinese?
I forgot to add that one on the list. Got my gf started on it about a week ago and now I canāt get her to put her phone down. Sheās been junking out on it everyday!
But on a plus side, I get no complaints when I want to rock out some Destiny 2 or GTA5.

Has anyone not watched Game of Thrones, I havenāt watched a single episode.
I havenāt watched the latest season yet. Does that count? I usually wait till the seasonās over so I can binge. Otherwise I forget plot details from week to week.

I can usually forgive atrocious Chinese if the show is otherwise good. Comically bad Chinese almost seems like a Hollywood tradition. The show, however, is not good.

That guy @tempogain hasnāt seen a single episode. His excuse is āworkā and ālifeā. Like those are valid excuses.
How about just comical Chinese accentsā¦
Not true. I saw half of the first one. I liked when he said āand if they dieā¦you will bury them.ā Maybe Iāll have to pick it up again.
