Amazon version with better non webcam recorded audio

It's the bonus video, don't know if the youtube recorded with something was linked because of viewing restrictions in some countries, regardless that link is where it was recorded from.

If anyone is interested, Amazon Prime has the first two episodes up for free this weekend here. I've become a very big fan of the show very quickly. The entire season is released on November 20th!

Here are few steps for non-US users to stream The Expanse, although they'd be still breaking the Amazon's T&C.

Step 1: Get an amazon.com account.

Step 2: Load balance through your credit or debit card - https://www.amazon.com/asv/reload/order?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=asv_gclp_bwd_pd

Step 3: Use a fake US address and set that as your default address.

Step 4: Buy the episodes & season pass - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018BZ3SCM/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Now that you're done, you can watch the series without a VPN. Increase in digital sales, DVDs & Blu-rays are probably the only real ways to get Amazon on board. So do what you can.

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/Patriot/dp/B017APUY62

Free to stream on Amazon Prime. Amazing cast. The characters are great. It's a super dark political(?) comedy of errors about a CIA agent trying to stop Iran from going Nuclear. It's nonlinear, somewhat disturbing, very weird (but not in a Lynchian way....more grounded in reality).

I'm about 6 episodes in and it has become my new favorite show. Definitely a show you need to pay attention to, and you are going to be left in the dark about a lot of things (which I know some people hate).

Not the same without Patrick Warburton, but Amazon has a new The Tick show out. They released the first episode and it's already be greenlit for a full series order.

Also, I wouldn't worry much about Patrick Warburton not getting much hype. His voice is one of the most recognizable in film and television. Rules of Engagement, The Venture Bros., Family Guy. This guy has gotten steady work for years.

This screenshot is from the Amazon show "The Man in the High Castle" and depicts the 1962 version of what the Nazis have accomplished in SST. The show itself is an alternate history with the Nazi and Imperial Japanese forces winning WWII.

I don't think the section shows up when browsing if you're not connected to a HDCP-compliant 4K monitor. On the PS4 and TV apps there is a section in the sidebar for UHD content. It is woefully incomplete, and a number of titles I have been able to find only through direct browser links I found elsewhere. The search engine is also crap, unfortunately. You can identify UHD content by a banner in the upper left corner that says 'UHD', but finding it in the first place is a hassle. Of all interfaces and searches on services with 4K content, Amazon's is by far the worst. Sometimes, googling "[show name] UHD" will get you results, sometimes not.

FWIW, almost all of their original content is available in 4K. If you go to the 'Amazon Originals' section you'll see a bunch that aren't in the 4K/UHD section. HD and UHD versions are both found there, so look for the banner.

Since you mention The Expanse, but don't specify whether you've found it, this link will take you to the first season in UHD and this one to the second season. Add them to your watchlist and you'll find them there in the app afterwards.

Patriot on Amazon is a great underrated comedy/satire

El hombre en el castillo es una novela de Philip K. Dick que transcurre en un mundo donde el eje ganó la segunda guerra. En la novela, el hombre en el castillo es un personaje que escribió un libro, "La langosta se ha posado", narrando los hechos como ocurrieron en nuestro mundo.

La novela es muy buena, más si te gustan los relatos de Philip donde nunca se sabe qué es real, qué no, ni qué es la realidad. El año pasado Amazon hizo una serie, producida por Ridley Scott, basada en el libro.

There are probably better ways to pass your time than spamming us. Here's one - you should check out 'Patriot' on Amazon. Have you seen it? It is a really, really well made television show that takes a whole bunch of memetic ideas about spies and totally subverts them in a really emotionally raw, hilarious, sad way. I think you'll enjoy watching it and talking about it a lot more than serving the agendas of a hate group on Reddit.

The first episode is free to stream: https://www.amazon.com/Patriot/dp/B017APUY62/?ref=dvm_us_dl_sl_go_ast|c_182289441520_m_D4LNjsi0-dc_s_&gclid=CM-2utK349ICFZFcfgodtFcC6Q

When you've watched it, create a new account and come back and talk to me about it.

Just released Amazon TV Show that is based on the short stories of the awesome Philip K. Dick (big sci-fi writer, wrote Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? or Blade Runner as it is commonly known, also A Scanner Darkly and a ton of other famous books)

Follows the same separate-episode format as Black Mirror. I only saw one episode "Real Life," and I liked it a lot. Where Black Mirror uses near-future technology and leaves the viewer with plenty to wonder about the repercussions of it, Electric Dreams doesn't stick to near-future and seems to be a bit more focused on the psychology of the characters.

That's not to say Black Mirror doesn't have great character building; I just think that ultimately, when you walk away from a Black Mirror episode, you think more about the circumstances of the story. In Electric Dreams (it seems... I only saw one ep) it is more Philip K. Dick-ish, the viewer walks away thinking about the morals more than the means.

Sounds like it's pretty hit or miss, as far as I've heard it gets better in the later half of the season

I know we can be super critical here, but just look at this:

IMDB - 9.6 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5712554/. 9.6! Not a single of their 25 highest rated movies get a 9.6.

Also, Amazon reviews: 90% 5 stars, 6% 4 stars. https://www.amazon.com/The-Grand-Tour-Season-1/dp/B01J94A5GQ.

Granted this will go down eventually but talk about an insanely good start.

The speculation that the interest in alternate universe coincides with the Amazon TV Show based on PKDicks's Man in the high castle as lefties tend to like scifi, and have Amazon services.

Oddly enough from another 'friend' I also got the alternate universe spiel. It really is a thing.

Patriot (Amazon Prime)

First 4 episodes have been great, has a very Fargo feel to it.

7.6/10 so far, def keeps you wanting to see what comes next

Edit: just finished and man did it finish strong! That 50 second scene in ep 8 in front of the warehouse was one of the funniest yet tense scenes I have ever seen in film, absolutely brilliant. The writing and dialogue and general feeling of the show was so different than anything you'll see. The definition of a dark comedy/thriller

Solid 8.5/10 for me and I highly recommend at least watching the first 3 or so episodes to see what you think. You gotta be the type of person who enjoys a good dialogue, this is not an action thriller spy show. But rather a well crafted web of fucked up situations one after the other.

The soundtrack kicked ass too

If you are a fan of Fargo or any thing Coen brothers you'll love this.

Late to the party, but the show is only on Netflix outside of the United States. In the US, it is still an Amazon Prime exclusive. Amazon does have the first season in 4K, though, which makes it look even more gorgeous than it did in HD. You have to use a browser link to access the 4K version though, for some reason - you can't find it through a search or by browsing their 4K content. Add it to your watchlist and you can then access it on any 4K-ready device.

Amazon Prime has seasons one and two for free, season three you have to pay for. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018BZ3SCM

Here's a handy character and location guide poster, if you need it https://i.redditmedia.com/HKfE42cU4wQIK3JPAkZ_BteUoEzKJBKrjNl9INv3S_M.jpg?s=c4c64ada4f128a5b8bc7c75cc1df0e8d

Can you access any 4K content from Amazon on your desktop? A lot of services restrict 4K content because of HDCP concerns. Assuming you can (and, of course, that you have a 4K monitor), here are the links for season one and season two.

Amazon's search engine is absolute garbage for finding 4K/UHD content. I've found more 4K content on their site through Google searches than with their internal search engine.

Unsolicited recommendation: Can y’all please watch and get the word out on the Amazon show called Patriot? It’s such an awesome and hilarious dark comedy series.

It's still being shopped around to various studios, according to CCP's lead IP developer.

If I remember correctly from a roundtable discussion at EVE Vegas a couple weeks ago, they're currently in talks with the producers of The Man In The High Castle.

If you speak japanese, I found this doco to be a really fascinating look at why it took so long to make the final eva movie and seems to give a good understanding of anno

The Patriot. Only two seasons but easily my favorite show. I've watched it a few times now.

Truly amazing writing and acting - funny, sad, clever... loved every episode.

There is still the Vinland Saga to tell. Here's the manga. Its one of the best mangas out there IMHO.

I also very much recommend the NHK documentary
"Hideaki Anno: The Final Challenge of Evangelion"
They follow Anno during the production of the last Rebuild movie which was released this year.
In the US it's on Prime, but you can also find it on nyaa.

Watch Patriot on Amazon Prime.

It’s a dark comedy about a spy who’s given up on life. Nevertheless, he still has to suck it up and infiltrate a piping company in Milwaukee to prevent an international crisis and potential nuclear war. LA times calls it best show you’ve probably never heard of.

No the series is called Electric Dreams (wiki, Amazon) and the episode in named Autofac

Add the non HDR version to your watch list then load it from the app. You will see this does not occur at the same 32 minute mark. Maybe this is a limitation of HDR as I previously mentioned. I read reviews complaining about this on Apple TV HDR.

https://www.amazon.com/The-Grand-Tour-Season-1/dp/B01J94A5GQ

Okay, this might be a dumb question, but what page are you using to add this to your watchlist? I still can't get the 4k version up when I search in my browser.

Ty!

Edit: hmm, maybe like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0SMDTT

Fuck Top Gear, its garbage now. Just watch "The Grand Tour"

It has Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. They are who made TopGear what it was.

Don't waste your time on TopGear episodes that don't feature them.
