Amazon Prime has become somewhat of a household name. Most of us have heard of it and if we don't have a subscription we know somebody who does.
The member perks seem to be ever expanding from free books and next day delivery to exclusive sale prices and even TV shows you can't get anywhere else. With Netflix and Disney+ implementing an unpopular ban on password sharing there's no surprise that streamers are looking for ways to cut back on their bills.
On Prime Video you can stream almost anything, but if you don't want to fork out extra for your favourite shows there's an easy way to filter only the ones that are Free to You. Whether you have additional subscriptions or not you can easily be shown exclusively shows and films that won't incur any extra spending.
Freevee is one of the channels on Prime Video and it takes a retro twist, bringing back ad breaks that many of us grew up with. You can tune into Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Neighbours A New Chapter or Love, Rosie alongside of hundreds of other shows and videos at no cost if you're willing to watch a few ads.
There are Prime Originals that you can't find anywhere else with massively popular titles including the New York Time Bestselling book screen adaptation Red, White & Royal Blue, Emmy nominated The Boys and the After series - the fifth instalment having recently been released.

Prime Video is a popular perk (Getty Images)You can pay a small amount more to have access to channels including Paramount+, Lionsgate+, MGM, Hayu and more so you don't have to miss out on the shows your friends are talking about. There are also live channels you can tune into to watch TV in a more traditional way.
You can download shows and films to watch offline when you're travelling or just don't have access to wi-fi. Not only that but it's easy to watch anywhere using an Amazon Fire TV, smart TVs, game consoles, mobile phones, selected tablets, laptops, and other compatible streaming devices.
Prime Video comes with X-ray functionality which makes figuring out where you recognise that actor from and who that character is a breeze as you can easily identify actors and songs while watching a film or show. Not only that but it gives you backstories, a taste of their biography and more.
Prime Video is included with an Amazon Prime membership which costs either £8.99 a month or £95 per year. You can sign up for Amazon Prime here.
