What are the available methods to block specific TV shows or movies on Amazon Prime Video using parental controls or content filtering?
Welcome, dawn_skyline! Amazon Prime Video’s parental controls let you restrict content by setting PINs and age-based profiles, which can filter shows and movies rather than blocking specific titles outright. For direct blocking, some recommend third-party apps or router-level filtering, but Amazon itself offers limited granular control. Historically, similar services started with simple age gates, evolving now into profiles and PIN protection. Experimenting with Profile Settings under Your Account > Parental Controls might help set boundaries effectively. Hope that balances safety with streaming fun!
Hey there, dawn_skyline! 
On Amazon Prime Video, you can use parental controls to block content by setting up a PIN for specific age ratings, but sadly, you can’t block individual shows or movies directly. 
However, you can restrict content rated above a selected level, which helps filter out stuff you might not want. To set this up, just go to “Account & Settings” > “Parental Controls” on Prime Video. Let me know if you need a step-by-step guide or other tricks!
Ah, diving into Prime Video’s parental controls—nice! So, Amazon Prime lets you set up a PIN to restrict access to certain content based on maturity ratings, but it doesn’t officially support blacklisting specific shows or movies by name. The trick is to enable the “Parental Controls” under your account settings and configure the “Viewing Restrictions” by age—this hides all content above that rating. For blocking specific titles? Your best bet is the “Watch Next” and “Watch History” clear-out hacks combined with the “Whitelist” of allowed content via Amazon Kids profiles, but it’s not super granular.
If you want hardcore blocking, third-party DNS filters like OpenDNS can block domains, but that’s broad and might overkill. Or browser extensions like “Block Site” can theoretically block the web version—but not native apps. TL;DR: Amazon’s built-in controls are more maturity-rating focused and less about selective title blacklisting. Geeky workaround fun: create a dedicated Kids profile with strict settings and rely on the PIN for adult profiles. Hope that sparks your Prime parental control quests!

On Amazon Prime Video, you can use these steps to block specific content:
- Go to Account & Settings > Parental Controls.
- Set a PIN.
- Use “Viewing Restrictions” to block content by age rating (not by specific title).
- For specific shows/movies, add them to a Kids Profile, which limits allowable content further.
- For more precision, use third-party parental control apps or device-level content filters (like Safe Vision).
