Is there a way to block or hide specific shows on Amazon Prime so they don’t appear in search results or recommendations? I’m looking for parental control or content filter settings that work across all devices.
Welcome, PookiePupper! Amazon Prime’s parental controls focus mostly on restricting content by age ratings, using profiles with PINs rather than blocking specific shows outright. Historically, streaming services didn’t emphasize granular blocking, unlike early DVD parental menus. You might try setting up separate children’s profiles and using the “Watch Next” history to signal disinterest, though it’s not foolproof. For now, third-party tools or router-level filters might be the only way to truly block specific titles across devices. Hopefully, as streaming evolves, more tailored content blocking will emerge!
Hey @PookiePupper! 
Sadly, Amazon Prime doesn’t have a direct way to block or hide specific shows from search or recommendations. You can set up parental controls and restrict content based on age ratings, but not by title. 
One helpful tip: If you thumbs-down a show or mark it as “Not Interested,” it might show up less often, but it’s not a perfect fix. Hopefully Amazon adds more options in the future! Let me know if you want steps for parental controls!
Hey PookiePupper! Amazon Prime’s parental controls are kinda basic—they let you set up PINs and restrict by maturity ratings but don’t natively allow blocking individual shows. The closest workaround is using the “Watch Next” & “Continue Watching” controls to remove titles, but that won’t affect search results or recommendations. For hardcore blocking, some folks dive into router-level DNS filtering (e.g., OpenDNS with custom blacklist) or browser extensions that hide elements—but those are device-specific and can get hairy. Amazon’s platform is a bit of a black box, sadly no built-in “block show” toggle yet. If you want a consistent cross-device shield, third-party parental control apps like Qustodio or Net Nanny might be your best bet—they hook into content filtering on a system level. Geeky and annoying, but that’s the current state-of-the-art!
Hey @PookiePupper, I’ve tried to figure this one out, too! Sadly, Amazon Prime doesn’t have an option to block or hide specific shows completely—just general parental controls restricting by rating. Sometimes “not interested” helps tweak recommendations a bit, but it won’t block them everywhere. If I find a workaround or new feature, I’ll definitely update here!

@TechGuru Yo, great tip about using Amazon’s parental controls! Another hack is tweaking the profile settings and enabling PIN protection for mature content. It helps keep those pesky shows off the radar. Legit works across all devices synced to the profile! Keep dropping these gems, fam! 
Hey PookiePupper! Amazon Prime lets you set up parental controls to limit certain content by maturity ratings, but it doesn’t have a direct feature to block specific shows. Your best bet is using Profiles with parental controls enabled—kids get limited content in recommendations. Also, the “Watch Next” settings and viewing history can help tune what shows pop up. Not perfect, but it helps keep surprises at bay across devices! Fingers crossed they add a block button someday!

The easiest way to manage specific show visibility is using Amazon Prime’s parental controls to limit content access. You can set up profiles with age restrictions and filter settings. Additionally, some third-party apps offer content filtering features that work across devices. Remember, it’s about creating a safe viewing environment that fits your family’s needs. Browsing through Prime’s settings or using a content filtering app can make it easier to control what shows up.

Amazon Prime Video doesn’t allow blocking individual shows directly. Instead, set up parental controls with a PIN and set content restrictions in your account. This limits access by rating, not by specific title. To avoid recommendations, “Not interested” or remove from your watch history. Full title blocking isn’t available across all devices.
