Amazon Prime subscribers won't need nice weather to enjoy Memorial Day weekend. The streaming service dropped a content bomb this week thanks to a new deal with HBO.

Prime users can now stream the complete series runs of classics like "The Sopranos," "Six Feet Under" and "Deadwood," as well as a healthy portion of HBO movies, comedy specials and miniseries like "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific."

No, "Game of Thrones" wasn't part of the deal, but a few current shows have previous seasons available: "Boardwalk Empire" (season 1) and "True Blood" (seasons 1-3). Two other pretty good current comedies, "Veep" and "Girls," will have previous seasons available soon.

For many, this streaming deal eliminates any remaining excuse to watch all five seasons of "The Wire," the critically acclaimed crime drama we all should have rented on DVD years ago.

Starting with any of the above-mentioned series would be a good idea, but for those already well-versed in the HBO Classic canon, here's some "deeper tracks" also available in Prime:

Bored to Death (seasons 1-3)

Oddball comedy about a writer turned amateur private detective (Jason Schwartzman) who is often joined on cases by his mentor/publisher (Ted Danson) and comic artist friend (a funny and restrained Zach Galifianakis).

The Sunset Limited (2011)

A powerfully acted chamber play about an atheist (Tommy Lee Jones) who is saved from a suicide attempt by a devout ex-con (Samuel L. Jackson). An excellent reminder of the two actors' intense acting chops.

Enlightened (seasons 1-2)

Canceled after just two seasons, this acclaimed-but-divisive drama stars the great Laura Dern as an executive who suffers a nervous breakdown and takes a holistic approach to her work and home life.

The Late Shift (1995)

Long before the Conan-Leno "Tonight Show" debacle, it was Leno and Letterman in a battle for Johnny Carson's chair. Kathy Bates plays Leno's manager, the person who fought the hardest for the timeslot.

Lewis Black: Black on Broadway (2004)

One of the better stand-up specials added to Prime features the angry "Daily Show" contributor ranting and raving at all his expected levels. HBO's best stand-up, the George Carlin specials, are already available on Netflix streaming.

"Temple Grandin," "Grey Gardens" and "Mildred Pierce"

If you tuned in to any award shows the past few years, chances are you saw the likes of Claire Danes, Kate Winslet, Jessica Lange earn accolades for these movies and miniseries. Time to finally catch up on the fuss, especially since premium networks like HBO are still the best places to find female-driven dramas.

An Amazon Prime subscription now costs $99/year and includes free two-day shipping on most items sold through the site.
