Top 10 Shows on Amazon Prime Video This Week!
Ballard
Maggie Q, as she does in anything she’s in, commands the screen as Detective Ballard, a sharp, emotionally complex investigator unraveling Seattle’s darkest secrets in Amazon’s new series, Ballard. Dealing with PTSD from a high-profile case gone wrong, Ballard walks the line between justice and obsession while navigating political interference, corruption, and her own inner demons. This wonderful series blends brooding atmosphere with a twisty plot, and Maggie Q’s performance is reason enough to press play. This was the easiest choice for this week’s top 10 shows on Amazon Prime Video lineup!
One Night in Idaho: The College Murders
This chilling docuseries revisits the tragic 2022 slayings of four college students in Moscow, Idaho, with an empathetic, fact-based approach. Through interviews with friends, journalists, and law enforcement, One Night in Idaho pieces together the emotional timeline of what happened, as well as the nationwide ripple effect that followed. It’s haunting, heart-wrenching, and gives voice to a community forever changed!
Hazbin Hotel
Created by Vivienne Medrano, Hazbin Hotel follows Charlie Morningstar, the Princess of Hell, who opens a hotel to rehabilitate demons and give them a second shot, literally! With outstanding musical numbers, chaotic characters like a fast-talking spider demon named Angel Dust and Alastor the Radio Demon, plus jaw-dropping animation, this adult animated series is equal parts unhinged and unforgettable.
The Summer I Turned Pretty
Lola Tung stars as Belly, a teen caught in a love triangle between two brothers—Conrad (Christopher Briney), the brooding first crush, and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), the golden boy best friend. Set at a family beach house where every summer changes everything, this show blends emotional coming-of-age moments with swoon-worthy drama. While I’ve included this series in an earlier edition of the top 10 shows on Amazon Prime, we’re including it again because on July 16th, season three gets released! This means right now is the perfect time to get caught up and then jump right into the next season.
Panchayat
Jitendra Kumar plays Abhishek Tripathi, a disillusioned young graduate who takes a job as a secretary in a rural Indian village, which is certainly not his dream career move. However, as he navigates red tape, quirky locals, and reluctant self-growth, something quietly profound begins to unfold. Panchayat is funny, tender, and sneakily emotional, with standout performances and grounded writing that celebrates the small joys of unexpected places.
Schitt’s Creek
Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara shine as Johnny and Moira Rose, who are formerly filthy-rich, now hilariously displaced in a podunk town they once bought as a joke. Alongside their equally dramatic kids, David (Dan Levy) and Alexis (Annie Murphy), the Roses rebuild their lives with awkward encounters, heartwarming arcs, and endlessly quotable lines. Come for the fashion and sarcasm, stay for the surprisingly deep emotional glow-up. This is easily one of my favorite shows of all time, and I’ll be the first to admit, I watch a lot of TV!
Downton Abbey
Step inside the aristocratic halls of Downton Abbey, where lords and ladies rub elbows with sharp-tongued staff and historical events crash into tradition. With Hugh Bonneville as Lord Grantham, Michelle Dockery as the ever-poised Mary, and of course, the absolute dream that is Dame Maggie Smith stealing every scene as the Dowager Countess, this ensemble cast delivers prestige drama with elegance and bite. If you have managed not to tip your toe into this treasure, now’s as good a time as any.
House
Hugh Laurie is truly unforgettable as Dr. Gregory House, a brilliant diagnostician with zero bedside manner, a painkiller addiction, and a relentless need to be right. I mean, I’m hooked already! Throughout the series, he leads a team of young doctors who question everything, including him, as they solve puzzling cases that feel more like mysteries than medicine. House is still one of TV’s most addictive antihero watches, and it’s really no surprise.
Teen Wolf
Tyler Posey stars as Scott McCall, a normal teen turned werewolf after a fateful bite in the woods. As he juggles school, lacrosse, supernatural rivalries, and his best friend Stiles (Dylan O’Brien), the stakes only get bloodier and weirder. With this series, think high school drama meets horror movie energy, all wrapped in moody lighting and intense abs, because why not?
Bates Motel
This Psycho prequel reimagines Norman Bates’ descent into darkness, starting with his childhood and his disturbingly close relationship with his mother, Norma. Freddie Highmore gives a true masterclass in slow-burning, yet intense, creepiness, while Vera Farmiga is equally brilliant as the overprotective, deeply flawed mom. Beautifully eerie and emotionally layered, Bates Motel is a character study in control, denial, and unraveling sanity.
Wrap-Up: What Will You Stream First?
Whether you’re in the mood for murder mysteries, supernatural chaos, laugh-out-loud comedies, or quiet character-driven gems, Prime Video’s got you covered this week. Binge a true-crime doc, fall into a love triangle, or just rewatch Schitt’s Creek for the 12th time—we won’t judge! The only question is which series from this week’s top 10 shows on Amazon will you start with first?
