Three Of Amazon’s Most Popular Originals Are Free During Christmas Holidays

Over Christmas weekend, families will be cooped up in their homes with few engagements to the outside world. With that in mind, what better way is there to spend your holidays than sitting in front of your screen of choice and streaming some critically-acclaimed television? Amazon is providing everyone with that opportunity by making the first seasons of three of its most-popular original shows — Man in the High Castle, Bosch, and Mozart in the Jungle — free for all users until the end of 2016.

The free seasons can be found, appropriately, at amazon.com/binge, and the URL should tell you exactly how Amazon wants you to watch the cream of its crop. Until 11:59 PM PT on December 31st, 30 episodes of television (ten from each of the aforementioned shows) will be freely available.

Normally, those programs are only available to viewers who pay $99 per year for an Amazon Prime

subscription, but by making them available for free, Amazon is looking to reel in some new consumers. Man in the High Castle, Bosch, and Mozart in the Jungle have all won critical acclaim, and if a viewer gets hooked on one them, the strategy dictates, they’ll surely pony up a few extra dollars each month to complete their binge.

This strategy also happens to be one Amazon has already employed. In January 2015, viewers got one day during which they could watch the esteemed Amazon original series Transparent for free. In addition, the first episode of Man in the High Castle can be found in its entirety on YouTube. Here it is, to kick off your binge:
