Masters on Prime Video Misses Kreischer and Kelce, Sparking Fan Backlash

Amazon Prime Video expanded its Masters early-round coverage, but Matt Yoder criticizes the telecast for lacking high-profile cameos like Bert Kreischer and Jason Kelce and for not leveraging Prime’s own cross-promotional opportunities. The piece argues the broadcast resembled a CBS-style feed and missed chances to promote Prime Video content, merch, and Prime-specific moments, despite moments such as a Terry Gannon interview with Jack Nicklaus. Overall, it’s portrayed as a missed opportunity to make the Masters a Prime-branded event.

Jury Duty Season 2 Struggles to Spark at a Company Retreat

Season 2 of Jury Duty moves from a jury room to a company retreat, but the discovery-driven thrill of the original is largely lost as the protagonist Anthony is too benign and the staff’s conflict is minimized, yielding a saccharine, less engaging arc despite a strong cast; the reviewer grades it a C and notes the change in setting dampens the show’s edge.

Prime Video makes 4K pay-to-play with new Ultra tier

Amazon Prime Video is restructuring its plans: basic Prime Video will be capped at 1080p, while 4K/UHD requires the new Ultra tier at $4.99 more per month. Ultra adds more offline downloads (up to 100), Dolby Atmos audio and Dolby Vision, and more concurrent streams (up to five). Basic members will gain Dolby Vision support and increase from three to four concurrent streams; true 4K remains bandwidth- or device-dependent for many users.

God of War Creator Slams Amazon’s First Look Photo as 'So Dumb' and 'Terrible'

David Jaffe, creator of God of War, rips Prime Video’s official first look at the series, calling the image dumb and terrible due to Kratos’ appearance, Atreus’ hair, and a rock prop. He still hopes the show will be good, noting showrunner Ron Moore’s talent, as Prime Video has committed to two seasons and cast Ryan Hurst as Kratos and Callum Vinson as Atreus.

Sparks Fail to Ignite in Amazon’s 56 Days Erotic Thriller

THR’s Angie Han reviews 56 Days, Amazon’s eight-episode adaptation of Catherine Ryan Howard’s novel, pairing Dove Cameron and Avan Jogia as Ciara and Oliver in a stylish if chilly erotic thriller. While their chemistry and fast, twisty plotting initially lure viewers and the central corpse mystery adds gross intrigue, the series never fully commits to heat or emotional depth. One‑note antagonists and delayed reveals undercut the supposed danger, leaving the romance and thriller elements feeling shallow despite cinematic polish and high-end performances.
