  Check out that it doesn’t automatically renew after the 30 days are up.

      You can just cancel it now, you’ll still get your 30 days free but won’t have to worry about forgetting and having it auto renew. Just ignore all the warnings about what you miss by not having a subscription, they just put them there to make people reconsider cancelling. You are just cancelling the auto-renew of the subscription not the membership itself.

        Thanks, looks like I’m getting the bullshit trial of single episodes, so it can get right in the bin

  I think the expanse might be there if you like space shows

  Invincible

  The Boys

  Reacher (S2 is kind of a dog, but still worth watching).

  The first two suggestions are violent and I mean VIOLENT

    @MeanElevator @Catfish seconding The Boys, and I don't even like violent or superhero. It's very clever, but quite awful, and very watchable if you can get past the ultraviolence.

      That show is so disturbing and excellent.

    Compare violent to opening sequence S1 American Gods?? Violence is fine by me if it has purpose and plot. That Bone Tomahawk bit was a shock, but made sense.

      I’m pretty sure the first scene of the Boys someone gets vaporised except for their hands.

      It’s gory as, but somehow with a purpose.

      I don’t even remember any violence at the start of American Gods. I just remember absolute boredom. I didn’t even finish the first episode the first time I watched it, and then slogged through a few episodes after being assured it would get really good and be worthwhile. Spoiler: it wasn’t. I didn’t enjoy any of it in the slightest.

        There was non book set up scene for the undocumented Scandinavian first North Americans.

      Thirding The Boys. Yes it’s blood soaked, but in a comedic style. It’s very cleverly written and a is a parody and warning of current American politics.

        I’ll Fourth it. I really enjoyed it (although I’ve only seen the first two seasons, as I only use streaming services occassionally)

  I think Sneaky Pete is on Amazon, I was ambivilent about whether I wanted to watch it at all and ended up really enjoying it.
