Yes, and if it's not there as part of the subscription, it is at least available to rent/buy on Prime.

>available to rent/buy on Prime.

Which I find endlessly annoying. Already paying for the service, being required to buy ad hoc almost everything I want to watch is a source of repeated annoyance. Our response is to just say "Oh forget this, screw Prime", exit and switch to looking for something on Netflix, PBS, or whatever.

If it was the exception for new hot content, that'd be fine. But it seems to be the rule for the majority of content, even if it's a decade old. So, we hardly go there anymore.

I always view with the “free to me” thing unless I’m looking to watch something specific that I can’t find on any other steaming service
