They have. Just checked and while you can buy individual
episodes/seasons you can't watch it on Prime without paying for it.
 $2.99/episode
$19.99/season

Marvel is getting out of throwing everything into a series as I was
one that tried to catch everything but there just isn't enough time in
a day.

So they all lived long enough to die at the end?
