New comedy series from Greg Giraldo (My Name is Earl, Raising Hope) now running on Freevee (formerly IMDBtv). Convicts released early due to the pandemic turn do gooders (sort of). Some serious funny going on.

I've watched the four episodes and I enjoyed it.

Just finished it.  Pretty good stuff.

Kinda sad that with all the streaming services now that a solid show like this from someone with a proven track record won’t be seen by too many people

I agree.  But it's strange that it took me so long to download this free, Amazon-owned streaming service, which is full of good content.  Yeah, I have to suffer through the same ads to watch it, but I paid for the privilege of ad-supported Hulu for years.  The name, "Freevee," isn't any better than IMDBTV, which has something to do with my not looking into it sooner.  But I like content I don't have to pay for.

It's so weird that Amazon, who is trying hard to catch up to Netflix, puts good shows on Freevee so no one watches them. It's almost as bad of a decision as Discovery getting rid of the HBO brand.

I understand why Amazon basically competing with itself with its own content is a weird thing to do as far as keeping people from subscribing to Prime.  What's confusing to me is why nobody watches Freevee?  I mean, I was guilty of it too until my wife downloaded it to watch something and I was like, "Hey, free shit.  Cool."  So people should check out Freevee, but they don't, which is on them.

 

That said, Prime video, photos, music, etc. never was the reason I subscribed to Prime.  They're just how I justify keeping the subscription as the price creeps up.

I watch FreeVee quite a bit. It's like Pluto, but more content. It's free and I can always find something interesting.

I'm currently rewatching Mad Men on Freevee.  I also noticed they have old episodes of The Grand Tour.  Who am I to refuse.
