The battle between Netflix and Amazon may go on for decades to come, but Amazon strikes a distinct blow this month as it wrestles control of a core film series away from Netflix: Star Trek — the old ones, I mean. Not the new ones you love to complain about.
But this month’s film and TV additions aren’t a total wash for Netflix. For one, it’s picking up all seasons of Gilmore Girls worldwide (they’ve already been available in the US) to prep viewers for the new specials coming later this year. It’s also picking up a pair of film series, Back to the Future and Lethal Weapon.
HBO, meanwhile, is debuting one of last year’s biggest movie, Straight Outta Compton. It also kicks off the series The Night Of, which, if you’re willing to put up with HBO’s that’s-so-2012 week-by-week release style, could be some great TV. HBO has no say in the Star Trek battle, which is probably for the best.
