Looking for TV shows on Amazon Prime that aren’t on Netflix or Hulu? Like the other streaming services, Amazon has a bunch of their own “originals” that you won’t find anywhere else. In my opinion, it’s these shows that really help you get the most out of your subscription. If you look at the movie selections between Amazon and Netflix, chances are you’ll find a ton of duplicates. I honestly can’t think of a time when I went in search of a movie on Netflix, didn’t find it, then found it on Amazon or vice-versa. Shows, on the other hand, are a totally different story. Keep reading for a few great shows on Amazon Prime that you won’t find anywhere else.

YES! Sneaky Pete is awesome! I like it a lot… I’ll have to check out the others to see if they’re any good this weekend! thanks!
Amazon Prime benefits are so nice. Including access to shows!
I will have to check out Amazon Prime tonight. I am planning on spending the night relaxing and binge watching a new show.
I think I watched the entire series of Mozart in the Jungle. I love it. So original. So cool.
Amazon Prime is the best. We don’t watch much tv at our house .. but I passed your post along to my son. I know he’ll enjoy seeing what they have to offer!
I took down notes for these shows. Amazon Prime is starting to make waves now & I think it’s good. We benefit from the new programs 🙂
We have Amazon prime and I usually forget that they have tv shows and movies. Sneaky Pete sounds like something that I am interested in.
I haven’t heard about most of these shows, unfortunately, I don’t get to watch that much of TV. I have only watched a few parts from Transparent – I thought it was just ok for me, but an interesting story, I suppose.
We have Netflix, but we don’t have Amazon Prime. Hubby and I talked about getting it though because of the great offers/deals they’ve got. I have to talk to him about it again. 🙂
I’ve never heard of these shows before! We’re always on the lookout for new shows, so these are some good ones.
