10 Shows Worth Subscribing to Amazon Prime Video For
Their rise began quietly, but video subscription services are making lots of noise as they attempt to undermine traditional television. Netflix was the first to offer a video subscription service that was good enough to kill off your cable subscription. Always interested in spreading the tendrils of its Prime services, Amazon launched Amazon Prime Video not too long after Netflix streaming arrived. At worst, Amazon Prime Video has enough shows to supplement your cable subscription. At best, Amazon Prime Video can replace a cable subscription. The key to both is Amazon Prime Video’s blend of video content. There are so many great shows on Amazon Prime you’ll find yourself never wanting to cancel.
Amazon signs deals with content creators to bring their television shows to its library. These videos, which are available at no additional charge for Prime users, have a flag letting users know that watching them won’t cost anything extra. Amazon takes exclusive content deals seriously, guaranteeing them streaming rights for networks that aren’t available on other platforms, Nickelodeon and HBO being among them.

Pilots of these shows are created by Amazon and made available for free. Subscribers vote and review their favorites to help the service decide which to keep.
An Amazon Video subscription itself costs $8.99. Amazon Prime, the overall subscription offering that unlocks upgraded shipping, music streaming, a Kindle library, video game discounts and photo backups, costs $10.99 a month or $99 a year.
