I have both Prime and netflix. I can never find anything worth watching on prime. Netflix on the other hand is an ever replenishing repository of quality shows.

Netflix has an impending cliff with Fox pulling shows to make them Hulu exclusives and Disney putting together their own streaming service in 2019. They're doing a good job with their original content efforts, but I don't know if it'll be enough content quickly enough.

  Not sure about Prime, but more and more of stuff on Netflix to me is great because it's available in French (and other) language or subtitle. Great for my multi-lingual family. I almost don't care what the content is (well as long as it's appropriate) as long as they're getting immersion while watching.

I'm a bit surprised by that comment. I actually find Prime to have pretty good content and typically better movies than Netflix (who's movie library has been shrinking pretty drastically over the years). If you haven't already watched it, I'd highly recommend Season 1 and 2 of "The Expanse" on Prime. There are a lot of pretty great shows on there as long as you don't rely on DC/Marvel shows for all your entertainment. Other shows that are reasonably acclaimed are: - The Man in the High Castle - Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Nightmanager - Mr. Robot - Boardwalk Empire - Downton Abbey - Sneaky Pete - Orphan Black - Dr. Who - Veep - The Good Wife - Transparent - Hannibal - Deadwood - Curb your Enthusiasm - The Wire - Six Feet Under - The Sopranos

  The Expanse is great, both the book and the show. Smart of Amazon to pick it up.

  The Expanse is SyFy, so new episodes go there (but really appreciate it on Amazon) The HBO shows are gone sometime in 2018 I believe, at least the contract is up soon and HBO said they're keeping the shows to HBO Now instead AFAIK.

  I watched the Expanse on Netflix. It's not really that good but I had downloaded it and was stuck on a plane. Of the others the only two I hadn't watched a long time ago (e.g. Sopranos) that I would consider really good are Mr. Robot & Boardwalk Empire, both of which I had already watched elsewhere. What I like about Netflix is their originals are top notch.
