What to watch on Prime Video: The best shows streaming right now
Though many people may be Prime Video subscribers simply because they want free two-day shipping, no one should sleep on Amazon’s streaming arm, which has put out some truly impressive original series in recent years. (The streamer racked up 28 Emmy nominations this year.) With shows that run the gamut from teen dramas and fantasy epics to high-concept comic and video game adaptations, it’s a platform with a tremendous amount of variety. Here are our top picks from what to watch on Prime Video.
Stars : Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit
Number of seasons: Five
Based on Garth Ennis’ comics of the same name, this show imagines a group of vigilantes intent on exposing so-called superheroes in a world where corporate overlords control them. It’s like Watchmen , only way more fun and, frankly, disgusting. The series concluded with its fifth and final season in May 2026.

Catastrophe
Stars: Sharon Horgan, Rob Delaney, Carrie Fisher, Mark Bonnar, Sarah Niles, Tobias Menzies, Ashley Jensen, Frances Tomelty
Number of seasons: Four
Co-created by Horgan and Delaney, plot-wise, Catastrophe pretty much lives up to its title. The biting British comedy sees Sharon and Rob as they go from strangers to unexpected parents-to-be after hooking up one night. The rom-com uses both characters’ deadpan humor and huge egos to its benefit, crafting a relationship that feels incredibly grounded despite their wild circumstances. The show also marks Fisher’s last TV role, and to no one’s surprise, she delivers a remarkable performance as Rob’s mother.

Daisy Jones & The Six
b Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, Camila Morrone, Suki Waterhouse, Will Harrison, Josh Whitehouse
Number of seasons : One
This buzzy project, based on the beloved book by Taylor Jenkins Reid, charts the rise of the show’s titular band, a Fleetwood Mac-esque rock group in the 1970s. Though it’s not the most technically faithful take on its source material, Keogh and Claflin’s electric chemistry powers through any weak spots. (And, honestly? The songs are bangers.)
The post-apocalyptic video game franchise made its way to the small screen in 2024, and the results were pretty damn delightful. A series that’s accessible to newcomers and full of Easter eggs for hardcore franchise fans, the story is set in a retro-futuristic Los Angeles after a nuclear holocaust. Purnell stars as a young woman raised in an underground vault as she sets out into the above-ground Wastelands to find her missing father (MacLachlan). Excellent performances abound, particularly from Goggins as the ruthless, zombie-esque Ghoul. The series has been renewed for a third season.

Fleabag
Stars : Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sian Clifford, Andrew Scott, Bill Paterson, Brett Gelman, Olivia Colman, Angus Imrie
Number of seasons: Two
Based on Waller-Bridge’s one-woman show, this British comedy is equal parts acerbic and heart-wrenching. The first season is a comedic success, but the second fully manages to sweep audiences off their feet with a love story from hell. Hot Priest wouldn’t approve of that phrasing, but come on, the romance was true emotional torture—in a great way. The show nabbed multiple Emmy wins in 2019 and remains one of the easiest binges on Prime.

Good Omens
Stars : Michael Sheen, David Tennant, Jon Hamm, Nina Sosanya, Maggie Service
Number of seasons : Two and a ninety-minute finale movie
Good Omens is a fantastical biblical farce that never lets up. When the Antichrist arrives on Earth, the angel Aziraphale (Sheen) and the demon Crowley (Tennant) band together to protect the semi-mortal lives they’ve come to know and love. Though the finale wrap-up movie is somewhat uneven and quite bittersweet, Tennant and Sheen’s excellent performances shine.
A sumptuous Spanish-language adaptation of Isabel Allende’s classic novel, The House Of The Spirits unfolds across the better part of a century as it follows three generations of women in the Trueba family through political and societal upheaval in an unnamed South American country. (It’s Chile, though.) Though it makes some fairly significant changes to its source material, the show is remarkably faithful to its spirit, and its themes of fate, class, memory, and resilience still resonate strongly today.

Invincible
Stars: Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, Walton Goggins, Sterling K. Brown, J.K. Simmons, Gillian Jacobs, Jason Mantzoukas, Zachary Quinto
Number of seasons : Four
Invincible is a bloody good time. The adult-animated drama, based on the comics of the same name by Robert Kirkland, depicts the transformation of teen Mark Grayson, whose father is Omni-Man, into a superhero. What follows is a violent coming-of-age drama that sees Mark struggling to both adjust to his powers and the revelation of his father’s less-than-heroic choices. Invincible is also notable for its strong voice acting and a willingness to subvert familiar superhero tropes. The show has been renewed for seasons five and six.

A League Of Their Own
Stars: Abbi Jacobson, Chanté Adams, D’Arcy Carden, Roberta Colindrez, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Kelly McCormack, Priscilla Delgado, Nick Offerman
