New to Prime Video: May Slate

Beyond next month’s big-gun premieres, Prime Video has less-heralded premieres that provide plenty of bang for your buck.

For action fans, they include the exclusive streaming of The Expendables 4 (presumably in 4K-UHD); for comedy buffs, season three of Stephen Merchant’s The Outlaws; and for ’70s sleuth connoisseurs, S1-9 of procedural classic Columbo.

The Peter Falk favourite is a staple on Sky’s retro Jones! channel but has never screened here in HD.

It has been released on Blu-ray in the US, so hopefully Prime Video has licensed it in the higher resolution.

Here’s the full slate of May premieres (so far):
