    @PrimeVideo The joke can use some work, and also everything feels rush, since something like the first plot should have taken at least three to four episodes to solve, especially against a what I call a "Song Dragon" (from my old D&D days) Hopefully they don't bait and switch..

  • mark_sprules Mark Sprules (@mark_sprules) reported

    @PrimeVideo wanted to watch The Rock but the picture quality is awful. Did you upload it from VHS?

  • JosiahRises JosiahRises 🇺🇸 (@JosiahRises) reported

    @PrimeVideo Yes. And your The Rings Of Power show is going to be terrible.

  • annboleynbarbie Kitty Howard (@annboleynbarbie) reported

    @PrimeVideo Same answer on every thread in the forum from "Ellen". Hello all! I'm sorry about the trouble you've all had when trying to watch this episode of 'Discovery of Witches'. I've reported this issue to our technical team, and they're researching the issue further. ¹

    i know the wilds season 2 would solve all my problems @PrimeVideo c’mon give it to me

  • StaffordjPrice Stafford Price (@StaffordjPrice) reported

    @PrimeVideo can't help but notice a lot of your movies, most notably the older (20+ years) ones, lack closed captioning. Can't imagine there's an acceptable excuse for a company of your size

  • dinesh_kr_shaw Dinesh shaw (@dinesh_kr_shaw) reported

    @PrimeVideoIN @PrimeVideo Amazon is full of misunderstanding of indian market. In India data is limited n we don't use WiFi like American. So what's the purpose of high video quality n no option to reduce its quality?

  • mikemcsharry mike mcsharry (@mikemcsharry) reported

    @suebecks @PrimeVideo No problems. I try to put web sites together for a few organisations. I now take the view that anything online is like a joke. If you have to explain it, then it's not very good!

  • TheHallmans Fern Hallman (@TheHallmans) reported

    @PrimeVideo @SpiderMan Went to see it 30 years ago. My husband was on call for work and we had to leave about five minutes before it was over. How did it turn out?

  • AmitMis55272488 Amit Mishra (@AmitMis55272488) reported

    @PrimeVideo @amazonIN 1st you give worst services and asking customer to buy the services again which was canceled from your end. Mr Saif from your Mssadi emp id was not helping leadership team....

  • David_B_Art David Bussom (@David_B_Art) reported

    @DaddyWarpig @ObsidianHate @PrimeVideo I get that, but by saying that it may turn off people who want that style, and that style can very much work.

  • ArdeeRdrp ArdeeRDRP (@ArdeeRdrp) reported

    @Hounds2th_comic @PrimeVideo No, actually I never saw this issue. However, it certainly belongs. XD

  • littleRobyn Robyn Hurst (@littleRobyn) reported

    @PrimeVideo Who do I contact about an episode not dropping on @sundance_now as expected? Apparently it is only a problem for Amazon streaming, so....ball is in your court. @ADiscoveryOfWTV S3 Episode 4

  • Victoriaed90 Victoria (@Victoriaed90) reported

    The close captioning for @OrphanBlack on @PrimeVideo is horrible. So many obvious errors, including character names in some episodes!

  • sundance_now Sundance Now (@sundance_now) reported

    @tbaker33 @teresapalmer @PrimeVideo Hi Teri, we apologize for the inconvenience that you have been experiencing. We just spoke with our tech team and last night's outage is still affecting Sundance Now. We are doing our best at the moment to fix this issue as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience!

  • darylwoolley Daryl James Woolley (@darylwoolley) reported

    @profgrump @netflix @PrimeVideo Haha no, work! We have offices here so been here since 5th Jan and return back on Wednesday of this week.

    @CheetosSlut @PrimeVideo Reading a book? He wrote the book bro. If he’s not your kind of DM, that’s fine. I’m struggling to see how that made the show awful? It sounds like you’re chopping it off at the knees because of your feelings towards one cast member. Which is your prerogative; but now I know your

  • David_B_Art David Bussom (@David_B_Art) reported

    @ObsidianHate @DaddyWarpig @PrimeVideo But your can be wrong. Many home games could follow that exact same route, because maybe many people enjoy that. What a better way to say this is please be aware it may not work, if you try as a dm to make it that way know when to bail on that venture for your groups sake.

  • CheetosSlut Jezmund the Family Berzerker (@CheetosSlut) reported

    @justw0w @PrimeVideo So good at being ******* awful

  • stellaluna4ever Stellaluna4ever (@stellaluna4ever) reported

    @Icchic1991 @PrimeVideo It’s not on anywhere!!! Fix it now

  • Ryan8_9 Ryan (@Ryan8_9) reported

    @PrimeVideo why can’t I watch a movie I paid to rent on your app through my TV without it pausing every 5 minutes lasting over a minute each time? Fix your ****** app.

  • Lorena_Holde LorenaHolden (@Lorena_Holde) reported

    @DavidSpade @PrimeVideo Who will help me with advice?

  • boofla Brendan Bouffler☁️ 🏳️‍🌈 (@boofla) reported

    The highlight of my isolation has been watching Star Wars on Disney+. The lowlight was spending too much time watching the next episode of Taken2 (the #PrimeVideo series), in case it was less worse than the previous one. They’re all awful, don’t do this at home, people.

  • Mallen1811 Mallen 181 (@Mallen1811) reported

    @Jenksno1 @netflix @PrimeVideo Could The Other Side of the Wind on Netflix work? It’s a movie from the 1970’s about a washed up and self destructive filmmaker. Just FYI: It is very “R” rated though!

  • DigitalHatter Digital Hatter (@DigitalHatter) reported

    @PrimeVideo i cant believe you cant reinstate my account! Updated payment info, im told all is well. I was on sprint, now im not. It cant be that hard to take my damn money! But apparently it is because i was literally told @amazon cant help me! WTF

  • IdyllicTales Idyllic Tales (@IdyllicTales) reported

    @SikeManci @hyperguyver2 @PrimeVideo TLoVM feels like modern people thrown into a fantasy world. That works in a D&D stream, but it doesn’t work as well in a cartoon where the story isn’t a game being played in a studio. Media have different expectations. Maybe Critical Role doesn’t meet cartoon expectations.

  • mikemcsharry mike mcsharry (@mikemcsharry) reported

    @suebecks I'd say make sure it works okay for colour blind folks. eg - if you have @PrimeVideo the selection on the a-z yellow or white is terrible. Also, what is poorest quality mobile that students will have - does it work on that?

  • emmyhateslife emmy the disappointment (@emmyhateslife) reported from Flanders, New York

    @amazon @PrimeVideo You should really fix some of your subtitles - the movie "Time Is Up" is horrific. As someone who needs subtitles to process the spoken words on screen it prevents me from watching shows. Please hire better captioners.
