Most popular Amazon Prime TV shows

Amazon Prime is home to thousands of series, but there are just some titles standing out as most viewers’ certified favourites. New releases like Gen V, Bosch Legacy Season 2, and many more are obvious choices.

Still, there are shows on Amazon Prime that continue to be top choices regardless of time. Here are just some of them:

Best Amazon Prime original series

Like most streaming services, Amazon Prime Video has a range of original series and they are good. The biggest property to come out of Amazon Studios recently would have been the Reacher TV series based on the book series by Lee Child.

The crime thriller favourites Bosch and Hanna also reel in viewers for their topnotch action and drama. We’re big fans of Amazon Prime Originals, and you can read more of our thoughts in our Prime Video review.

Best drama series on Amazon Prime

If you’re looking for smash-hit drama then look no further than This Is Us. Otherwise, if you like your drama a little thrilling, checkout Swimming with Sharks, following a notorious CEO and her equally lethal intern.

The number of Amazon Prime’s classic dramas makes it too hard to summarise. We recommend you browse the library to see what catches your eye.

Best comedies on Amazon Prime

Who doesn’t love a good comedy? Amazon Prime sure do. Their range of comedy tops them all with the award-winning show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Otherwise we can suggest the all-time favourite The Office and the award-winning comedy series, Fleabag.

Sci-Fi series on Amazon Prime

If science fiction and fantasy are your thing, then what’s on Amazon Prime will excite you. For the sci-fi fans there’s the Philip K Dick adaption, Man in the High Castle or the Michael Sheen and David Tennant fronted Good Omens. For fantasy, Rosamund Pike is enchanting on The Wheel of Time or delve deeper into Middle Earth with Rings of Power.

Of course, there’s the New York City-set drama starring Karl Urban, The Boys, which tells the story of superheroes gone bad.

Best documentaries on Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime has great documentaries, which include Head Above Water and Pink: All I Know So Far. The Pink docu-series goes backstage on her ‘Beautiful Trauma’ world tour and offers insight into her life as a rockstar mother.

Another fantastic documentary is My Name is Pauli Murray, which follows the life of lawyer and activist Pauli Murray. You can also check out newer releases below.
