Did everyone not just pirate this series? It seems like Game of Thrones level pirate content, who would pay for that.

If I'm being honest, I can handle an ad in my pause menu as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of operating the device. If I can unpause and reach the closed captioning or audio menu, fine, whatever. What really gets my goat is pre-roll and mid-roll ads. Can't stand them.

Yeah I already know about this. Also as a long time prime subscriber we have had ads longer than you'd expect. It first started as ads for Amazon products and also previews for other Amazon shows. It doesn't surprise me that there are pause screen ads now like other streaming services.

Amazon Prime is absolute dogshit anyway. Fallout wasn’t even that good, I don’t know why it got such a warm reception. Probably because people had such low hopes for it. Rings of Power was a billion dollar investment and only 30% of people finished the whole series.

Let's be honest, one of the main pulls of that show is the main character is an attractive woman. I haven't seen the show, but I've seen the oogling over her.

I had forgotten all about the Rings of Power. Never saw it. Loved listening to the super fans talk about it. Wasn't generally received well at all

I wish the high seas had better quality. So much isn't available in 4k at least in the waters I've checked out.
