Amazon just released new TV show pilots - here's what you need to watch
Amazon Studios
On Friday, the company kicked off its newest pilot season with two one-hour drama pilots and three half-hour comedy pilots.
Instead of a bunch of suits debating what to greenlight, viewers can watch the pilot episodes and review them in order to help Amazon choose which ones it will order to series.
The stakes are pretty high for Amazon. According to estimates, it's investing more than $3 billion this year on original projects. And that means it's going to need to make more than a tiny dent into Netflix's streaming dominance and get a bigger share of Hollywood's Emmy awards bounty.
We watched Amazon's new batch of pilots. Here's our take:
