Wow, a few items here:

  1. Had anyone heard of it?
  2. IMDb is apparently owned by Amazon?
  3. IMDB had a streaming service?

Biggest way I knew of them was the Alex rider tv show. It was released on Freevee

Edit: been a fan of Alex rider since I read the books when I was younger.

I knew about this, but as a Prime Original. I guess it was put out on Freevee later?

According to wikipedia

The eight-episode first season, based on the book Point Blanc, premiered on Amazon Prime Video in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2020. In November 2020, the series was renewed for a second season, adapting the book Eagle Strike. The second season premiered on 3 December 2021 on IMDb TV. In June 2022, the series was renewed for a third season, adapting the book Scorpia. The third and final season premiered on 5 April 2024 on Amazon Freevee.

It used to be imdbtv.

I guess you don't need an ad supported TV app when prime video also has adverts now 😞

  1. I learned about it when I subscribed to Amazon Prime Video and learned I can watch all the classic Mario Bros cartoon from the late 80s. Honestly, the whole Prime Video is chaos. Even though I got Prime for free, I would not pay for it.

  2. Yeah. It's so bad now!

  3. This one surprised me.

So that's why Leverage: Redemption is moving to prime for season 3!

Does this mean I'll finally be able to delete the app they forcibly installed on my Fire tablet without my permission?
