No, not if you’re accessing the content via their website. If you’re accessing via the app, Freevee can pull your viewing restrictions and PIN settings from your Amazon account.
The content on Freevee tends to be less “premium,” i.e. not as popular and not as new. Non-Amazon Prime members can still access the content found on Freevee.
The streaming providers typically rotate their TV series and movies onto their platform and then off again. Either their contract to distribute the content runs up or they are simply refreshing their offerings with alternative content. You can search again down the road as it may come back or you can research other streaming services to see if one has the series you’re looking for.
You can stream from as many devices as you’d like.

FAQ’s
No, Vudu is apparently not a sports fan. You’ll need to find an alternative streaming platform to stream sports content.
Free TV content from streaming services like Vudu are typically provided by their parent company, who has created the content, or the streaming service purchased the license to stream the content from other content creators/owners. The newer programming, just like newer movies, is much more expensive to purchase. Plus, there may be restrictive license agreements that conflict with the airing of the content too early. It can be complicated. The subscription streaming services typically get first crack at newer programming. The free streaming providers like Vudu are typically further down the food chain when it comes to the newest TV shows and movies.
There are older films in the free film inventory but they probably wouldn’t fall into the “classic” category. They’d instead be lower budget, “B” class films.
