Variety is reporting that it's been a very good "Pilot Season" indeed for Amazon Studios. The company streamed ten pilots for viewers to vote on, including five for adult viewers and five for children. In a surprising move, four of the five adult pilots got picked up. Last year, only two adult pilots -- "Alpha House" and "Betas" -- made it to full series.

Making the cut were two dramas, Chris Carter's "The After." Based on the pilot, "The X-Files" creator is definitely sticking with the weird. It's a post-apocalyptic reality ... sort of. "Bosch" is the other drama, and it's far more traditional. Titus Welliver stars as the titular Bosch, a self-destructive but brilliant detective who attempts to solve one case while standing trial for murder in relation to another case.

The comedy pick-ups include "Mozart in the Jungle," a peek behind the curtains of a major symphony, and "Transparent." The latter stars Jeffrey Tambor as the patriarch of a dysfunctional family with serious boundary issues ... and surprising secrets. And it probably means that the fifth series, football comedy "The Rebels," isn't moving forward at all.
