    We downloaded this to watch the return of On Patrol: Live (formerly Love PD). Have discovered many other great shows. It’s definitely a great addition and totally worth the extra couple bucks.

    I downloaded REELZ Now so my family could watch OP Live on Friday & Saturday nights. There are other shows we could watch on REELZ Now, but we gather in the living room to watch OP live. Favorite show. You need to get this APP if you want to watch it.

    Do I need to say more?! I was a big LivePD fan so when the sub started on Reelz I had to have it. I watch other shows too but my weekends are worth it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fire TV app updated and live TV works well
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I downloaded this app late 2020 because the free streaming apps that have a live Reelz channel do not get the "real" Reelz live broadcast that cable gets, (and that is posted on Reelz's website live schedule).

    Originally, the live schedule did not display at all on the Fire TV app where it should. But I reviewed it here and a shortly thereafter, Jan 2021, it was updated and fixed ! The guide and live TV are on separate menu items across the top now but both work. It also has a small library of VOD content and they add some new shows to it now but it's lacking in historical Reelz content IMO. Why not post the long-term archive?

    BTW you do need to have a login from your cable provider or a Reelz Now plan to gain access to the content on this app.
    My wish is that Reelz makes a deal with Philo to join their live TV lineup. These two were made for each other and Reelz will get many more streaming customers that way.

    I got the free app because I heard On Patrol Live (formerly LivePD) was available on this channel! And it is! My husband and I were so sad when LivePD was cancelled years ago but are so happy to have it back on ReelzTV as On Patrol Live!

    I was a little disappointed, I added this to get Live PD and was disappointed to find out you can only get that show with cable. Actually, a lot disappointed.
