I think you'll find the Prime shipping to be an amazing addition to your life. At least check out the Prime content on your computer, phone or tablet. You might be surprised. We ditched Netflix because Prime is free (we buy it for the free shipping) and are quite happy with the content. We also have HBO Now.

I tried that and it was a pain. Go ahead and buy the FireTV stick. You won't regret it.

I agree. And to go a step further, I use the Apple TV and Fire TV Stick. I didn't mind paying the $40 to get the stick. It's a great piece of hardware and we let Netflix go in favor of Prime. There's something to be said for it.
