I work the 3-11 shift at my job, and I got up extra early this morning thinking that someone at Filmrise would realize they forgot to send Season 5 to Amazon USA. I thought it would be just a matter of someone clicking a couple of links on a PC and Season 5 would be uploaded by 10 AM-Monday.

And now here it is Tuesday Morning and still nothing!!!!

However, I remember when Season 3 was released and it was missing an episode. It took Filmrise a WHOLE STINKING WEEK to upload the missing episode.

So if the Season 3 error is the same time frame as the Season 5 error, then it looks S5 won't get released until Friday evening.

At this rate if Season 6 gets released before the 4th of July, I will jump up and down like a kangaroo.

A couple of things. First, it's an assumption (and possibly an inaccurate one) to think that it is a mistake that it was posted to the UK on Friday and not the US. It could have been a deliberate thing.

Second, even if it is as simple as clicking a couple of links on a PC (it might or might not be depending on their architecture), that doesn't mean that they can do it anytime that they want to. I work in IT and deal with software deployment on a regular basis. While the uploading of content like this is fairly small as far as changes go, it would still need to wait for a dedicated release window to be promoted. I've worked for companies that had release windows as frequently as daily and as infrequently as monthly. Almost any company can do a critical release if something is completely down, but Amazon isn't likely to do a critical release for something like this. It's unfortunate that we didn't get season 5 yet. However, even if it was a mistake, our misfortune probably wouldn't warrant a critical release.

To be fair, the issue with the missing episode was on Amazon's part and not FilmRise. I bet season 5 has been sent to Amazon but they haven't activated it yet.

Anyone who has watched season 5 yet? I feel a little underwhelmed by it, season 4 was certainly the best so far IMO.

I haven't. I currently don't pay for an unlimited through the provider I use to mask my IP, so I can only do so much browsing under a UK IP address and I didn't want burn through all of that watching UM if it'll be available in the US soon. Plus, to be able to watch with a UK IP, I'd have to watch through my computer and I don't like to do that because it takes away time with my son to be glued to the computer screen. If it's on the TV through the Roku box then I can play with him while watching.

At this point with how long it has taken to simply upload to Amazon, I think they will need to release season 5+6 simultaneously...one can only wish.

It would be a nice gesture of customer service if we received Season 5 & 6 at the same time assuming that time is early next week at the latest!!! However, I think Amazon is to blame for the current delay. I bet Filmrise already has 25% of Season 6 done and I will bet Season 6 will be released just 2 weeks after Season 5, assuming Season 5 arrives by Monday at the latest!!!!!

Season 5 is released in Europe, but I am still watching season 2

Isn't this doing well on Amazon Prime? Why would you delay the release of season 5 in your biggest region? Seems pretty ****ing stupid.

I gotta say, I was pretty p*ssed last week with no season five and also no new episode of Disappeared. This weekend, still no season five, but at least Disappeared was on with a new episode.

Amazon does not even advertise UM as one of the new releases you have to look for it which is crazy sine it is 5 star reviewed and surely getting a lot of views

I swear I have to find the Robert Stack version through the Dennis Farina version. I feel like I really have to dig to find it.
