Obviously the answer to the question is yes, otherwise people aren\u2019t seeing things like The Boys<\/em>, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel<\/em>, or Invincible<\/em>, but I feel like just in general, you don\u2019t often hear people really talking about the things they watch on Amazon Prime Video.<\/span><\/p>\n Sure, people talk about the aforementioned titles, but it\u2019s not often (at least in my little world) where I\u2019m hearing people talking about the random things they\u2019ve caught on APV, nowhere near the clip in which people are randomly perusing Netflix and discovering all sorts of random, obscure and out-of-the-mainstream things.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s like Netflix is the Coca-Cola of video streaming platforms, where people associate all streaming content to maybe be associated to Netflix first, and then when corrected, they\u2019re more like \u201coh, okay,\u201d like when a customer sits down at a restaurant and orders a Coke, but is corrected by the server that they serve Pepsi products.<\/span><\/p>\n I recently watched through Solos<\/em> on APV, and I found it to be a fairly refreshing and short seven-standalone-episode anthology at around 30 minutes per episode, which is kind of perfect for my needs and wants these days.\u00a0 It was sort of an anti-Black Mirror, in that the stories were more emotionally heartfelt and uplifting as opposed to dreading and pessimistic, but from what I understand, this series was entirely shot during the pandemic, so it was kind of perfect that the format was almost entirely solo actors performing a clinic of monologues.<\/span><\/p>\n FYI, if you\u2019re a fan of monologues, then this is the series for you.\u00a0 It\u2019s also very thought-provoking, doesn\u2019t dumb things down for the viewer, and all pretty well written in my opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n The thing is, it was a series that I had never heard of before, and just happened to stumble across it, because I didn\u2019t feel like getting drowned in content paralysis from Netflix or Plex, and decided to drown in APV instead.\u00a0 It makes me wonder how a series like this can go so unnoticed (at least to me) considering it had some pretty high-tier star power, between featuring performers like Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway, Helen Mirren and Anthony Mackie among others.<\/span><\/p>\n And even after finishing Solos, and perusing through APV\u2019s general library, there are all sorts of interesting sounding titles that I\u2019ll probably explore in the future, which got me wondering why nobody in my little world talks about any of these.\u00a0 It\u2019s not like everyone these days doesn\u2019t have a Prime account and wouldn\u2019t have access to any of this, but it\u2019s just that APV among other non-Netflix streaming services must clearly face this constant uphill battle that, if you not Netflix, then you not a player<\/em>, but if people would just become aware and just give them a chance, then it seems like there\u2019s even more oceans of content to drown in choice paralysis alternatively.<\/span><\/p>\n But as far as I\u2019m concerned, APV really is a legitimate player, but I\u2019m curious to know if it\u2019s just me, or if other people out there also realize that or not.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Obviously the answer to the question is yes, otherwise people aren\u2019t seeing things like The Boys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, or Invincible, but I feel like just in general, you don\u2019t often hear people really talking about the things they watch on Amazon Prime Video.
