Amazon Prime Instant Video gets exclusive rights to 'Justified'

How is The Shield also not in the thread title? Two of the best shows of the past decade.. easily.

I've had Prime for like 5+ years and therefore had Prime Video for its duration but I've only used it to watch the first season of Downton when they were the only ones with the "unedited"/original ITV version. They need to do a better job with it although I hear the PS3 app is nice.

Holy shit! Justified can go fuck itself compared to The Shield.
 
netflix uk has the first season of justified but the show is already well into season 4 now

great show though
 
Amazon's UI is just horrendous. That alone keeps me from using their service.

This. I've got Amazon Prime for the free 2-day shipping, but the video subscription service feels lazily tacked on. I'm still confused whenever I try to navigate it.
 
Wonder if this applies to Canada. Since there is no Amazon Fancy Video Thing up here.

I have bought 2 seasons of Justified on iTunes so hopefully it will at least remain for sale...
 
Ok, just verified. Connected to a London server on my VPN service, logged into Netflix, and it's ready to stream Justified for me.

So it's still possible to see it on Netflix streaming on your computer.

edit - It's not just UK, setting my VPN to a server in Canada resulted in the same availability of Justified. Guess it's just the US that got hosed.

You don't even need a VPN, just use a DNS service like Unblock Us.

Netflix don't give a shit.
 
I have both and have been pretty disappointed with Amazon. Doesn't seem like they add much new content.

Edit: They added The Shield? Holy shit!

Yeah I used to use that. But the VPN also grants me that whole "encrypted traffic so that the cable company doesn't know what the traffic is" benefit.
 
Prime and Netflix are two of my favorite things about the internet.

But I very rarely can be bothered to check out Prime Instant Video and would prefer to see Netflix with more exclusive content than Amazon.
 
lol this is ridiculous.

They're just turning the internet streaming model back into the cable model with exclusive rights.
 
I have the complete Deadwood series on BR still sealed. Should I watch that first or this?

Watch Deadwood first, that way you'll appreciate all of the cast members from that show that appear on Justified. Also it's a much better show overall

Justified is one of the best shows on TV right now though. I've been hoping for it to go up on Netflix so that more people will watch it. It deserves to be every bit as popular as Breaking Bad or The Walking Dead or something.
 
The Shield is one of the big shows in recent history that I haven't seen. This should make that easier to rectify.
