Starz on Amazon

I am still really enjoying this Starz channel on Amazon, in fact it’s easily been my most watched thing for months.

Seen Godfather of Harlem (gangster series about black gang leader Bumpy with Malcolm X taking on the Italian Mafia, sort of based on true events), the War of the Roses series (Spanish Princess about Catherine of Aaragon we liked the best), Mr Mercedes (violent serial killer series), The Act true story about a poor girl made to think she has cancer and in a wheelchair by her mother who has munchausens- until her daughter has her killed when she finds out it’s all a lie), Castle Rock which is a bit weird but set in Shawshank, Doom Patrol DC Comic superhero thing very adult.

I’m now watching PowerBook : Raising Kanan about how a drug Lord came to be in NYC.

They don’t have that much on, but the quality is superb. If you can get a cheap trial, highly recommended sometimes it’s £1 a month for 3 months. Netflix seems to have gone downhill recently.

We loved Doom Patrol and also Pennyworth was excellent.

I got this on your recommendation earlier in the year and ended up keeping it at full price as it's really good. I've probably watched most of what you have and particularly enjoy, The Godfather of Harlem, Power book and the Spanish Princess.
