Amazon Prime viewers 'glued to screen' watching 'best show on TV'
Amazon Prime, who have uploaded a hit series that requires 'superhuman stamina' to binge , has just released several episodes of the riveting action series Seal Team, penned by the writer behind massive hits like Justified and Homeland. Seal Team, which debuted in 2017 and ran for seven seasons, was initially an exclusive title for the Paramount+ streaming platform after it moved from its network home on CBS. However, it has since been made available on other platforms, including Amazon Prime, which has just added the first five seasons to its catalog, and a series described as Buffy meets Preacher with 'lots of blood and gore.' This means that not all seasons are available on the giant's streaming service - whose executive, Jennifer Salke, r ecently stepped down amid the James Bond controversy - but UK viewers can find the sixth and seventh installments on NOW. This makes it easier than ever for fans to binge-watch the highly praised show.
