Amazon Prime / Succession

Does anyone here have Amazon Prime (Swiss subscription) and could confirm that all five seasons of "Succession" are available there in English? Thank you

No, but it has a 7 days free trial.

Re: Amazon Prime / Succession

I can’t seem to stream most Amazon Prime videos from here in Switzerland.
From what I can see, they anyway only have seasons 1-4 available anyway.

Personally found season 5 a real let-down, and didn’t even bother watching it to the end (although I loved previous seasons).

Re: Amazon Prime / Succession

I'm a Prime Member through amazon.de.

I guess when I think of Amazon Prime, I tend to think of primevideo.com -- the Amazon site where you can watch movies and series. I couldn't find any Succession seasons there.

When I look on amazon.de, it seems that I am only able to find it in German or it isn't available here in CH.

We often stream series that we can't find anywhere else. I think what we use to stream stuff is called "Kodi" but if you're interested, I can ask my hubby for more info.

Re: Amazon Prime / Succession

P.S. I think if you got a VPN to block your IP address you might be able to access it more easily, including from amazon.com (in English).

Really? I've bought stuff on amazon.com before with my Swiss credit card. (e.g. gifts for friends in the US or stuff I buy online when I'm back home).

If you order from Switzerland, then you are re-directed first to Amazon.de (you will be asked if this is the location you want to order from or not).

If you want to subscribe to Amazon Prime over Amazon.com and not from the Amazon.de even for a free trial, then you will need to supply a US credit card.

It’s the same with most streaming sites like HBO Max, Channel 4 or BritBox (UK credit card) etc. So using a VPN doesn’t help .

If you have a way of getting around this however, please, please let me know!

Just as a side note: streaming from other sites that offer the latest anyway, as a user in Switzerland is not illegal. This is where a VPN plus ad blocker comes in handy to block all advertising. This is why I already watched Season 5 as soon as it was released.

Re: Amazon Prime / Succession

I have it and it does not seem to have Succession at all. Seems to be on Sky though - have you tried there? I have bought individual series with them and was happy.

But not the Amazon Prime Video streaming service I presume, the topic of the thread. Other general orders on Amazon.com work, but what can be delivered to Switzerland is severely restricted.

That's right. Should have called the thread "Prime Video".

Thanks, that looks good. Not sure why I thought it would be on Prime.

Just checked under my long expired Sky membership account - it has 4 seasons.
BTW - just checked and Succession only had 4 seasons in total

Indeed, it actually only has four seasons so far. Not sure what I was thinking. Funny thought that you said you had watched Season 5 and found it disappointing.

Was confused as well, but assumed the OP was talking about the final season.
So, I found season 4 to be a bit of a let down .
