It’s a study in excess, terrible movies and organizational disasters that is such a mess, it becomes positively comedic. You will likely leave mystified as to how Amazon could possibly be employing such a thoroughly, completely broken system. I’m about to show you how deep this rabbit hole goes. It’s the entire reason why we publish lists of the best films available on streaming services such as Amazon-because it’s not just “inconvenient” to browse them it’s borderline impossible. Thanks to a massive library that is overflowing with thousands of bargain bin, zero-budget films that no other service would want to touch with a 10-foot pole, the average user needs the digital equivalent of a sherpa guide just to find the few legitimate movies worth watching. Strike that: None of the other services are 10% as difficult to browse.
None of the other major streaming services are half as difficult to browse in a way that is logical and helpful. It’s always going to be easier to search for a specific film than it is to browse through the library to find something of interest-this is true of pretty much any streaming service.īut Amazon Prime Video is in an entirely other class, in terms of its inscrutability. A lot of streaming services have issues when it comes to “browsing.” Bad user interfaces abound.
