The competition in the world of streaming is fierce. However, most of the talk has only been about Netflix, the industry leader, and Disney+, the new kid on the block. Not much has been said about Amazon Prime Video. However, they are a definite player in the streaming wars. It is true that they do not have nearly as many subscribers as Netflix. They also do not have as much material as Disney+. However, they do have some very entertaining shows that are generating a lot of critical praise for Amazon’s streaming service. More importantly, these shows are helping Amazon to gain subscribers and close the gap between them and Netflix.
One of the shows that has had people talking since it debuted has been “The Boys.” This is a superhero show that is based on a very popular comic book. It has been getting a lot of very positive buzz because of its action and high quality writing. The series has been picked up for a second season. Amazon Prime Video has seen a large increase in subscribers ever since “The Boys” was released. In fact, the streaming service had the biggest percentage increase in their overall market share of any company in the industry. This shows that they are definitely doing something right.
“The Boys” was a comic book that sold very well for the past couple of years. There had been rumors that it was going to be turned into a TV series. Those rumors were proven to be true when it was revealed that Amazon had acquired the rights. The show has been a big hit with critics and fans alike. It puts a much different spin on the whole superhero concept. It is also very edgy and gritty. These are qualities that are lacking in all of the films released by Marvel Studios.
Amazon Prime Video believes that it can keep increasing its market share. They have a number of other shows and movies that are along the same lines as “The Boys.” Obviously, there is no way to know for sure if any of these future offerings will have the same popularity as “The Boys.” Amazon feels that they have their finger on the pulse of what audiences want. Only time will tell if that is the case. Amazon certainly has the financial resources to pour into their various projects. They are beginning to do that in a big way.
