How can I search for film categories on Prime Video (e.g. Thriller, drama, etc.).

When I search for search terms such as Thrillers come action films, crime novels etc., but not a thriller? With Netflix this works without any problems.

Mo

Go to search and then you can select the genre there.

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately no, I'm watching on the TV and the Prime Video app. There's no genre to choose from

Mo

I see. Well then I can't help you at the moment because I'm not at home.

If I think about it, I'll get back to you later.

co

All right, I'm also currently writing with customer service. Anyway, thank you

co

I'll get in touch again, they said it doesn't work. Can this be? I'm speechless. Most of them watch TV.
He said that it is possible to search for genre on the PC etc. ^^. I'll write to you again later. Maybe it works after all. Would be great if you can check it out at home. Maybe it works after all.

Mo

Well, if they don't think it works… But well, I'll have a look later.

co

Great thank you. Also amazes me or rather… I can't even imagine. See you later.

Mo

So I checked it, it's really not like on the smartphone…

So probably the best solution is simply that you go to "Free for me" in the overview and then tip down until you get to the genre recommendations.

co

Thank you:-)

Mo

Gladly.

Figured it out. You can simply enter the genre in the search. E.g. Comedy, horror film, crime thriller etc. If you turn the magnifying glass on TV in Prime Video. You can also put the term Prime Video behind it e.g. "Comedy Prime Video" then shows me all comedies that are free for me. Just for info:-)

Mo

Ah ok, I'll try it out when I get the chance, thank you.
