The only exception would be "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee", which seems to have just the right amount of editing to be interesting and offer some sense that you have got a sense of movement through a beginning, middle, and ending of each episode.

Because they are far better than what's available from most networks or cable providers and they don't have ad's. I'm not a cord cutter, I'm a cable 'never have been' and no I'm not a millennial, I'm 50 and refuse to pay to get TV (cable etc.) then have to spend a further 30% of my viewing watching ads. There are some great shows on both Amazon and Netflix. Comedies, dramas, Sci-Fi, historical, bio's, etc. etc.
Also I'm sure that both Amazon and Netflix understand their customer base, viewers etc. and produce content that their views want so they keep paying the subscription, which is far far cheaper than any cable service.
