Netflix. The options are limitless and there are always new and cool Shows/movies being added. Amazon was fine before, though their inventory is significantly smaller for prime-featured videos. Most of the stuff you need to pay for or subscribe additionally to, plus now they've started putting ads into everything so definitely Netflix for the win.

Netflix. However, this is an unfair question because Netflix has decades of expertise. In the coming decades, Amazon Prime will have the potential to surpass its rival.

I think Netflix's mistakes don't hurt it as much because of their successes. Where with Amazon, making an unfaithful version of The Wheel of Time probably hurt it a lot more than it would have if Netflix had done that.

The potentially big hit on their hands I haven't seen yet is Invincible. My favorite of their originals so far is Reacher.

As I watch a lot of International movie, I prefer Netflix over Amazon prime. The documentaries and series of Netflix are more cooler than the Amazon prime one's. So, I will go with Netflix.

For me its Netflix. If you want the most variety and the best quality, Netflix is where you'll find it. I don't mind supplementing it with other services as needed, but it does add up. So, if you're looking to buy into one service, Netflix is the best overall. You get the most content (Movies and TV) and the best quality.

For me as an Indian Amazon prime. Netflix have first mover advantage but rationalized for time amazon prime is winner.

I prefer Amazon as well. There are more regional options on Amazon than on Netflix. And I am really not a big fan 8 ep series. I prefer it to be between 16-24 and one season preferably. Not leave a cliff hanger and then cancel the series for whatever reasons.

I prefer Netflix. I like to think of Netflix as a version of Marvel and Amazon as DC. This is in the sense that Marvel is known to make funny, vibrant, light (but at times intense) movies, and DC is known to make dark and very intense movies with depressed characters.
