So far, Amazon has decided to pick up The Man in the High Castle, Mad Dogs, and The New Yorker Presents. All good choices with some nice additions to traditional television (you can see them here). High Castle provides alternate history that we have not seen since Fox's Fringe, Mad Dogs tells a crazy friendship/murder story set in Belize, and The New Yorker Presents is a magazine variety shows. I want to see more of all three, and now I know I will.
As far as the others, I would not mind seeing more of Point of Honor, a Civil War story, though the acting was thin. I found the background black slave story to be much more interesting than the main southern family tale. And Cocked contained some solid acting, but it also had too much urine going in too many directions (sorry for that visual).
All in all, we can look forward to some good stories down the line. And it is possible one or two more of the new pilots could be picked up, though it is also possible one could be dropped as was the case with The After, which was green-lighted for a full series and then canceled earlier this year. By the way, that was a smart move by Amazon. The After was pretty horrible (as I noted earlier).
