Are most things free to stream with that service? Movies, TV shows, etc?

I have Prime for shipping costs and Pantry, but never used the streaming service. I'm about to dive into it and check it out. Are there a lot of free movies or do you have to rent/buy everything?

TIA

Yes there are a lot of free TV/Movies on there, it's mostly older stuff compared to Netflix. I have a fire stick and it makes watching very easy.

Lot of movies and TV shows to stream. All HBO shows available and a pretty decent collection of movies. It is rare for me to not find something on Prime that I can enjoy.

Not nearly the selection of content included with the subscription as Netflix, but they try to lure you with their own original content, which is expanding. Also, hard to beat the free shipping that comes with it. It comes out to the same price as Netflix per year and actually saves you money on shipping.

A lot of older stuff is free. Selection of free new stuff is a bit limited. I love it though. There are a lot of shows I never watched that I have caught up with on Prime. For example I'm about to finish The Wire which I was able to watch completely free on Prime. I don't think it was available on Netflix.
