For the weekend of Feb. 10, Streamline is recommending “Absentia” in the Amazon top spot for the second time.
Amazon didn’t add any shows of note to the service this week. “Absentia” isn’t exactly a great show. There’s a serial killer element, a gray color palette and a protagonist who lost her memories. Very cliche elements here. But this show is OK enough to check out if you’re really into crime dramas.
As mentioned last week, Amazon also recently added “Britannia” to the service in what seems like a play to attract fans of shows like “Game of Thrones” and “Vikings.” It’s much worse than those shows, but again, if you’re into this genre and are extremely frustrated “Game of Thrones” isn’t coming back for quite some time, then maybe this is worth watching.
Assorted Amazon Streaming News
According to something called the “USA Today Ad Meter,” Amazon won the title of best Super Bowl commercial for their ad, “Alexa Loses Her Voice.” Can’t go wrong with Cardi B.
That said, another ad ranker, RelishMix, determined that Amazon’s ad for their upcoming streaming show, “Jack Ryan,” was the least effective commercial for a show or movie shown during the game. Can’t win ’em all.
But the biggest streaming news for Amazon was that Arnold Schwarzenegger will star in an upcoming scripted series called “Outrider.” The short description: “a mystery set in the Oklahoma Indian Territory in the late 1800s.”
