ALERT ALERT ALERT! BAYWATCH IS NOW STREAMING ON PRIME VIDEO!
This is not a drill! The wet and wild show that turned the world on with its slow-mo running has finally entered the streaming age. The first 9 seasons (196 hours of slow motion diving, swimming, standing, walking–seriously, slow motion everything) is now available on Amazon’s streaming service, meaning that you can get reacquainted with your old pals Pamela Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth, Nicole Eggert, Gena Lee Nolin, and the Davids Hasselhoff and Chokachi.
This also means that a whole new generation of potential fans can get swept away in a stream of Baywatch episodes. For those that weren’t around to watch the show when it first aired in syndication, especially during its mid-’90s heyday when the entire world–even the Friends!–tuned in at odd hours to watch what was essentially an hour of surprisingly chaste soft-core porn, here’s what you need to know: the show is about hot people in bathing suits. Oh, they’re also lifeguards? Sure. Did I mention these people are beautiful and wearing very little clothing? Also the theme song is an absolute banger.
As if you need any more convincing, here’s an average episode of Baywatch summed up in three GIFs.
1. David Chokachi in tight swim briefs, elevated to X-rated tightness by the legitimately stunning HD remaster of the show seen on Prime Video.

2. Ridiculously long musical montages of hot bods in bathing suits that have the thinnest of connection to what passes for a plot in Baywatch.

3. Outrageous action, like this guy getting crushed by a giant piece of oil rig machinery.

Yeah, all of this is from the same episode.
A totally remastered Baywatch available to watch whenever, wherever? That’s rad! What’s not rad is that Baywatch Nights (which also starred Hasselhoff as a detective going up against the supernatural) is not available to stream, and neither are the two seasons of Baywatch Hawaii which star current Aquaman Jason Momoa.
Still, 9 seasons of Baywatch now streaming? Prime Video has the perfect way to stay warm this winter.
