Top 10 Series on Amazon Prime
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Stop what you’re doing and watch Rachel Brosnahan’sact as Miriam “Midge” Maisel on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a 1950s-set comedy. After her husband, Joe Maisel (Michael Zegen), suddenly leaves her, Midge pursues a stand-up comedy career.
Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein), a hard-nosed venue employee, take Midge under her wing after a drunken, improvised, and mile-a-minute stand-up set that ends with Midge being under arrest in the hopes of molding a gem in the rough. The show has earned a slew of awards and is set to return for a fourth season.
Utopia
This Amazon Original series follows a group of friends drawn into a dangerous plot involving a rapidly spreading pandemic across the world through their shared fascination with a mysterious comic book.
The show is based on the 2013 British series of the same name, and it stars Rainn Wilson, John Cusack, and Sasha Lane in supporting roles in addition to the talented core characters.
Utopia is a dark and bloody film that combines its bleak, all-too-real issues with a heavy dose of surreal, fantastic elements and surprising plot twists that keep the story unpredictable as it proceeds.
Vikings
Vikings are sure to satisfy those who love Game of Thrones’ political maneuvering and chaotic military fights but want something a little more grounded. Vikings is a grounded historical fantasy saga that follows Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) from farmer to legendary warrior.
Ragnar, accompanied by his warrior wife Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) and other allies, sails through Northern Europe in search of plunder.
It’s a bleak series based on stories of Viking raids during the middle Ages. Vikings maintain a grittier aesthetic than some of their fantasy counterparts, despite not being historically accurate. There is a lot of blood and dirt.
Good Omens
In this hellishly enjoyable adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s beloved work of fantasy, David Tennant and Michael Sheen star. Tennant portrays Crowley, a demon who has lived the past 6,000 years on Earth, as a rockstar.
Sheen portrays Aziraphale, a bumbling seraph who often calls Earth home and has a grudging relationship with his eternal rival. The two must work together to stop the Anti-Christ – a young man from Oxfordshire – from ascending to dominance, destroying the universe, and, most importantly, Crowley’s Queen Mixtape.
Poldark
Ross Poldark (Aidan Turner) returns home to Cornwall, England, after three years fighting in the American Revolution, only to find his estate in shambles and his lover, Elizabeth, wedded to his cousin.
Ross rescues a young woman named Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson) and hires her as a maid while attempting to restore his family’s tin mines. Ross’s situation is further complicated by his opponent, George Warleggan, an aspiring industrialist.
This adaptation of Poldark, based on a series of twentieth-century novels, moves at a fast pace befitting a contemporary display, deftly balancing romance, action, and political maneuvering.
Sneaky Pete
Sneaky Pete, an Amazon original series, creates a suspenseful mystery out of a complex case of identity theft. Marius Josipovic is a con man recently released from prison who takes on the persona of his previous cellmate, Pete Murphy, who expended years regaling him with childhood tales of his close-knit family (whom he hadn’t seen since he was a child) and their bail bonds company.
The show’s cast of critically praised stars, including Margo Martindale of The Americans, shines brightly, but the show’s brilliance lies in its clever prose. Watch all three seasons, which are the last episodes of the series, which were canceled in 2019.
Tumble Leaf
It is Amazon’s much-anticipated foray into children’s programming, is a brilliant instance of what a children’s show should be. Every episode follows Fig the Fox and his science-themed adventures in the whimsical world of Tumble Leaf, a woodland setting populated by a variety of odd creatures with whom Fig is friends.
The humanoid creatures work together to figure out how mirrors, shadows, and other aspects of our natural world work, while also considering the importance of friendship and kindness. The scenery is as lively and colorful as the characters, making it both eye candy and a topic of conversation.
Transparent
In Transparent, Jeffrey Tambor plays a man who chooses to turn into a woman later in life. We see how that decision impacts her family in the funniest and poignant ways possible, including the agony of an aged woman understanding she’s wasted so much of her life living as a man.
It’s a sprawling family drama that honors and humanizes even the most profoundly flawed characters. No one is given a good representation, but all of the characters rise above their shortcomings. It’s a wonderfully painful and painfully beautiful sequence that’s sad and heartbreaking at times and victorious at others.
The Boys
In Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Karl Urban stars, and showrunner Eric Kripke’s wild, gory, vulgar journey through superhero Dom. The film, based on a Garth Ennis comic book, takes a darker look at the supernaturally talented heroes we all adore. Urban’s gruff vigilante teams up with nobody (Jack Quaid), whose life has been turned upside down by a gang of corrupt supes.
The humor is raunchy and sharp, the action is insane, and the cast is a diverse collection of talent who all find time to shine on-screen. And now that season two has arrived, everyone can turn up the volume and channel their inner Spice Girl.
Catastrophe
Catastrophe is a reversal of a romantic comedy: There’s a baby, then they marry, and then they get to know each other and see if they’re compatible. The series is exhilarating because of the endless bickering and sexual conflicts between Rob (Rob Delaney) and Sharon (Sharon Horgan).
Transparent, Amazon Prime other series will be a better name for the show because Sharon and Rob’s partnership is the most transparent and truthful on television and possibly the funniest. Catastrophe’s biggest flaw is that there isn’t enough time to spend with these characters.
