It is available in over 200 countries and for those who are subscribers to Amazon Prime. In fact, anyone who has an Amazon Prime subscription can access all available content for free, at any time and from any device.

But let’s take a step back: what is Amazon Prime? It is an Amazon service for avid shoppers, which offers free fast delivery on qualifying items. In fact, deliveries with Prime also take place in two days or even a single business day, so as to reduce costs and waiting times.
