What shows or series to watch on PRIME?
I just picked up prime in addition to Netflix. I did just finish the entire BOSCH series on Prime. On Netflix I liked: Bloodline, Breaking Bad, Bad Blood, Ozark, Queen of the South, Narcos (+Mexico), Better call Saul, The Crown, Dexter. Etc.

So what series/shows along the same lines as the Netflix shows I like, should I check out on PRIME?

First few episodes on EPIX (through Prime) are free: "Get Shorty".

The Spy with Sasha Baron Cohen. Although a mini-series, it’s a really well done story about Israeli spies.

And, of course, the Jack Ryan seasons.

Banshee is a good one, I put it right up there with Strike Back.

This is completely out of left field, but I stumbled across a subtitled Italian police comi-drama called Il commissario Manara. A lot of mindless fun and the many women in it are stunning.

prime gives you most/all of older HBO... so The Wire and The Sopranos should be first up.

I'll second:

The Expanse
Jack Ryan
Hanna

and add (in no particular order):

Burn Notice
Goliath
Carnival Row
Good Omens
Tin Star
Widow
The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher (four movies)
Hell On Wheels
Deadwood

We've also watched the first episode of Tales From The Loop and it looks like it's got possibilities.

I am quite possibly the only person on the planet to enjoy it but Mad Dogs is worth the watch.
Same goes for Orphan Black though in later seasons it got a little wonky and long in the tooth.

Wife and I watched it on Prime a couple weeks ago. During the opening it displays the Hulu logo so Amazon must be leasing it or something.

You can buy it to stream through Amazon at $25 per season. But it's not included with Prime streaming.

We just watched a six-part British series called “The Night Manager, based on a novel by le Carré. Hugh Laurie as the BG.

“ZeroZeroZero” is very good. It’s about cocaine trafficking and follows families in the trade (and a particular shipment) in Italy, Mexico, the US, Morocco. Location shooting like, seemingly, only Amazon can do.

“Hanna” is pretty good too.

I’m not sure who carries these programs but Blacklist and Longmire are good as well
