My Prime Video experience on Apple TV in the UK mirrors this. I knew exactly what I wanted to watch but I simply could not figure out how to get the app to show it to me. The search feature returned and endless feed of results, none of which matched.

Let's take a live example tested while writing this comment. I searched for "Stand-up comedy", and I see 9 results on my TV right now:

- The Grand Tour

- The Grand Tour presents: Lochdown

- The Grand Tour (again? must be a different season?)

- The Grand Tour (yes, again)

- The Tomorrow War

- The Office

- The Office (again)

- The Office (again)

- The Office (again)

And just for fun, let's list the next 9:

- The Office (again)

- The Office (again)

- The Office (again)

- The Office (again)

- The Office (again)

- Borat 2

- South Park

- South Park (again)

- South Park (again)

It's baffling to me that table-stakes features like this can be completely neglected for a product which is obviously a massive capital investment. I do think I understand now why it is that my friend with Prime Video watches The Office almost all of the time...

Edit: Apparently searching for "stand-up comedy live" or simply "comedy live" does show the type of content the search implies. I'd be keen to have someone explain what non-live stand-up comedy looks like to justify the difference in interpretation. Perhaps they could also tell me about how "stand-up" carries zero usable information...
