Amazon X-ray—the Kindle Fire feature that knows everything piece of information about a movie you’re watching while you watch it—is expanding to TV shows.

The service is pretty awesome and it keeps you from wondering who that actor is on the screen or what you’ve seen him in before. X-Ray slurps intel from Amazon-owned IMDB, so every time you pause, you get basic detail on every actor on screen in that scene. Then you can go further and explore specific people, from reading their bio, to learning about their career, and finding everything else you’d ordinarily pause the TV show to look up on IMDB anyway. For now, X-Ray is only available for the following shows on Amazon Instant Video:
Justified
Downton Abbey
The West Wing
Sons of Anarchy
Falling Skies
American Horror Story
Grey’s Anatomy
Doctor Who
The Walking Dead
Lost
Glee
Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones
Presumably X-Ray will be added to other shows soon enough. And if this is the future, we quite like it. [Amazon]
