You aren't lying. Amazon is the worst to navigate around to find something. I search for a show and next thing I know I'm buying the whole season on Blu-Ray. :/

crackle came as a free app on my roku player
crackle has good movies from time to time, but there's too many commercial breaks and the quality isn't that good

Hulu is pretty great. They've got hundreds of Criterion titles, which really sets it apart from Netflix/Amazon. The Roku app used to be a shitshow but it works well now. The rewind/fast-forward is still imprecise, and browsing/queueing on both the website and the Roku app isn't great. I usually use the Criterion website to choose what I want to see on Hulu.
And I'm interested in Mubi, but they don't have a Roku app so I haven't pulled the trigger on that yet. What they do is unique is that they only have 30 movies available at a time, each up for just one month. And the selection is usually pretty eclectic and top-notch.
Netflix is great, too, IMO. I have zero complaints about the Roku app---and never have. I can usually find something I'm in the mood to see. Their original programming hasn't produced anything truly great and actually worthwhile yet (except maybe Jessica Jones actually), but their shows are ambitious and I'm sure they'll find their groove in that regard pretty soon.

Outside of Mad Men's final season, Bloodlines is probably the best thing "on tv" in the last couple years.

I would not mind another season of Seinfeld. I would love to see it in today's current social environment.

This year, Walking Dead and Game of Thrones were both guilty of killing off major characters in a way that the fans knew wasn't really the end for the 'dead' characters. LOST was able to kill off a major character in a believable way, and then bring him back in a surprise! One more reason why #LOSTwasbetter

I could probably go for another re-watch of LOST soon. I was thinking earlier about how I want to re-watch West Wing, but I'm disheartened by the idea of slogging through the shitty parts and dealing with the more boring episodes. I think I'll just stick with watching random Toby clips on youtube.
