All episodes of some classic HBO series, and select episodes of newer series are being offered up to those opting to pay $99 per year for Amazon Prime. Here’s the full slate of shows being made available:
All seasons of revered classics such as The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Rome and Six Feet Under, and of recent favorites such as Eastbound & Down, Enlightened and Flight of the Conchords
Select seasons of current series such as True Blood, Boardwalk Empire and Treme
Epic miniseries, including Band of Brothers, The Pacific, John Adams,Parade’s End and Angels in America

Pedigreed documentaries including When the Levees Broke, Ghosts of Abu Ghraib and the Autopsy and Iceman series
And the buck won’t stop there.

Kindle Fire, iPad, Amazon Fire TV and web users definitely have reason to celebrate. Everyone else? Well, there’s always HBO Go.
