Amazon will make all 10 episodes of its original series Transparent free to watch this Saturday, the company has announced.
If you're not an Amazon Prime member, it's a great opportunity to watch a show that we've called laugh-out-loud funny and unlike anything else on TV.
The promotion is in celebration of the series' two recent Golden Globe award wins, Amazon explained in a press release Thursday. Besides making Transparent free, Amazon will also offer Amazon Prime at a discounted price of $72 a year, with both offers being available only on Saturday, Jan. 24. The standard price for Amazon Prime is $99 a year; the modified price honors the Globes' 72nd year.

“We’re incredibly proud of everyone involved in the making of Transparent — the team took a risk and it paid off,” said Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
The dramedy, created and directed by Jill Soloway, depicts the struggles of a Los Angeles family after they discover that the father is transgender. The show won big at this year's Golden Globes, snatching the award for Best TV Comedy or Musical, while Jeffrey Tambor got the Globe for Best Actor in a TV Comedy.
To watch the show for free this Saturday, you can use the Amazon Instant Video app on a number of platforms, including Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Xbox and PlayStation, as well as other mobile devices and smart TVs. Or just visit Amazon's website.
