31 Prime Video Shows Worth Your Time

2

Ran out of things to watch? Probably.

Amazon Prime Video has way more than just The Boys and Fallout. Those two are good, sure. But stopping there is a waste of money.

There’s stuff hiding in the back catalogs. There’s The Devil’s Hour. There’s Overcompensating, the new college comedy everyone is whispering about.

Just know the catch: ads exist. Unless you pay extra to silence them.

Here’s what’s new for June and what you’ve probably been sleeping on.

New For June

June 3

  • The Legend of Vox Machina (Season 4): Adult animated fantasy. The gang broke up. They’re looking for purpose, love, or both. Then a sleeping evil wakes up. Reunited, obviously. Epic foes await.
  • Clarkson’s Farm (Season 5): Jeremy got sick. A health scare, specifically. Doctors said “chill out.” So he did. Mostly.

June 10

  • Every Year After (Season 1): Romance set in Barry’s Bay. Spans six years. One specific week matters. It’s about first love and the choices that scar you. Permanently.

June 22

  • See You at Work Tomorrow! (Season 1): Korean rom-com. A product planner swears off dating. Then he meets the most avoided team lead. Unexpected sparks fly. Or don’t. We’ll see.

The Real Stuff

I filtered out the dead ends. Here’s what has a new season since 2024.

Thriller

The Devil’s Hour

Why does Lucy wake up at 3:33 a.m.? Every night.

Why is her eight-year-old son, Isaac, acting like a robot?

Jessica Raine plays Lucy. Nikesh Patel plays a good detective. Peter Capaldi plays the suspicious one. It’s twisty. It answers things. Finally. A third season is coming. It’ll be the last one.

The Girlfriend

Robin Wright is a mom. Protective. Too much, maybe.

Olivia Cooke is the son’s new girl. The tension here is real. Six episodes. Based on a thriller novel. Suspense? Yes.

Dead Ringers

Rachel Weisz plays twin doctors. Identical. Obsessed with starting a birthing center.

It’s Cronenberg’s 1988 film, updated. Darkly funny. Creepy. You stick with them because you have to.

Chloe

Erin Doherty steals the show. She plays Becky. Temp job. Hobby: faking identities to get into art galleries. Free yoga.

Then an Instagram target dies. Becky investigates. Posing as someone else again. Six episodes. Don’t scroll past.

Comedy

Overcompensating

HBO Max canceled Sex Lives of College Girls. Heartbroken? Watch this instead.

Benny and Carmen want to lose their virginity. Social status depends on it. Benny’s a closeted ex-football star who likes guys. Authentic. Funny. Benito Skinner’s show is one of the year’s best.

The Outlaws

Seven strangers. Community service. Bristol, England.

They find cash. Chaos ensues. Stephen Merchant co-created this. If that name rings a bell from The Office, trust me. Dark. Touching.

Hazbin Hotel

Two seasons out. Two more renewed. Musical comedy set in Hell.

Charlie wants to rehabilitate demons. Angles want to exterminate them. She says “rehab.” The songs stick with you.

The Kids in the Hall

Resurrected. Literally. They dug themselves out of a grave at the start of the new season.

Sketch comedy. NSFW. Fax machines. Dessert debates. If you missed it the first time in the 90s, it’s back. And it’s weird again.

A League of Their Own

Not the 1990s movie. New characters. 1940s baseball league.

Abbi Jacobson stars. Themes of race and sexuality woven into the game. Period detail looks good. Stories feel earned.

Undone

Rotoscoped animation. Real footage traced by hand.

A woman survives a car crash. Finds she can bend time. Bob Odenkirk is her dead dad. He asks for help with his murder investigation. Surreal. Deep. If you like thinking about time, watch this.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Housewife turns comic. 1950s New York.

Rachel Brosnahan is brilliant. Fast talking. Big hats. It’s warm. It’s funny. Alex Borstein shines as the mom. The whole package.

Drama

Expats

Nicole Kidman is in it. That usually gets the click.

Lulu Wang directed The Farewell. She brought that care here. Kidman’s an American in Hong Kong. Family tragedy hits. Links three stories. Six episodes. Worth the watch.

Riches

Soapy. Family drama. The dad dies. The will is weird.

Two sets of kids fight for control. Sarah Niles is there. Ted Lasso vibes, but messier. Glide through this one.

The English

Emily Blunt. Chaske Spencer.

An Englishwoman. A Pawnee scout. Unlikely travel buddies across the American West. Dangerous landscape. Even worse characters. Beautiful cinematography. Act great.

As We See It

Three autistic actors. Playing young adults on the spectrum.

Jobs. Friends. Love. Neurotypical casts usually handle this trope. Not here. Heartfelt. Funny. Poignant. Metacritic loves it. You might too.

Fantasy

The Legend of Vox Machina

Based on Critical Role. D&D web series fame. You don’t need to know the lore to enjoy this.

The misfits get rich. Then they stop evil. There’s a musical number in the first episode. A bear fights. Someone admits, “They have a bear, though.” It works.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Expensive. Loud. Pretty.

Thousands of years before Frodo. Morfydd Clark is a young Galadriel. Adventure feels big. Visually stunning.

My Lady Jane

Lady Jane Grey was Queen for nine days. In history.

In this show? She’s not dead. Fantasy elements added. Humans turn into animals. Action. Romance. Comedy. It’s a ride. Don’t check Wikipedia. Just watch.

I’m a Virgo

Cootie is thirteen feet tall. Black man from Oakland. Leaves home at nineteen.

Boots Riley made it (Sorry to Bother You ). Surreal coming-of-age. Humor mixed with social critique. Undeniable originality.

Romance

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Donald Glover and Maya Erskine. Married spies. Strangers, first.

Remake of the Brad Pitt film. Risky missions. Changing feelings. Eight episodes. Fun twist on the genre.

The Summer I Turned Pretty

Teenage love triangle. Summer heat. Taylor Swift songs on the playlist.

Lola Tung stars. Belly visits the beach house every year. Sees her childhood crushes: Conrad and Jeremiah. She’s grown. They have moved on? Or have they? Jenny Han’s books became this.

With Love

Diaz siblings. Lily and Jorge.

Holidays bring pressure. Halloween to Christmas. Searching for love. Awkward family moments included. Feel-good breeze. Easy viewing.

Superhero

Invincible

Robert Kirkman made it. The Walking Dead guy.

Mark Grayson is seventeen. Trained by his dad, Omni-Man. Most powerful hero on Earth. Episodes run nearly an hour. Bloody. Violent. Subversive. Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons voice roles. Stick with it.

Gen V

The Boys spinoff. University for superheroes.

Marie Moreau wants a quiet life. Doesn’t get one. Mystery ensues at Godolkin U. Good characters. Fresh plot. Watch before Season 4 of The Boys drops, since the timelines connect.

The Boys

Ultra-violent. Anti-heroes.

Superheroes are corporate mascots here. Harassment. Murders. Covered up by Vought. Homelander is scary. It’s black comedy mixed with gore. A step away from Marvel-friendly safety.

Sci-Fi

Fallout

Video game adaptation. Post-apocalyptic.

Three stories. Lucy wanders the wasteland looking for
