Amazon’s first original series is now available to watch on Prime Instant Video. The first three episodes of Alpha House are available on the service now — the first season will be 11 episodes long — with additional episodes launching every Friday.

We’ll be able to tell you whether Alpha House manages to live up to Amazon’s lofty goals very soon with our upcoming review.
