That shit was even bad if you had it ad-free through Prime. Watched a show there and it would have a half second black screen at the place where an ad would be. Sometimes in the middle of dialogue.
I got annoyed because it would crash and then when you would be placed at the start and have to fastforward but then when you got to certain points in the fast forward it would flip to commercials. to damn annoying.
Ah, the European method of placing ads in American shows anywhere, instead of using the spaces designed in the American shows.
Yeah, the trouble was that this show was explicitly produced for Amazon. Maybe the writing was already on the wall and that is why they didn't put in any effort.
