By Mads Lennon
Now is a great time to invest in Amazon Channels. We’ve got some great selections for you this week from HBO, STARZ, and Cinemax.
Nothing brand new is coming out on Amazon this week but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing for you to watch! Recent new series like The Boys, Carnival Row, and Undone, are all available to stream.
Plus, with Emmy’s right around the corner, take advantage of this week to catch up on nominated Amazon series like Transparent and The Marvelous Miss Maisel. The musical season finale of Transparent will premiere later this month and you don’t want to miss out!
