Top 10 Shows on Amazon Prime Video This Week!
We Were Liars
This brand new young adult thriller, adapted from E. Lockhart’s novel, stars Emily Alyn Lind as Cadence Sinclair Eastman, a teenager returning to her family’s private island with no clear memories of a fateful summer. Alongside her, the “Liars” crew includes Shubham Maheshwari (Gat), Esther McGregor (Mirren), and Joseph Zada (Johnny). Cadence delves into a maze of secrets and trauma.
The cast of We Were Liars also includes powerhouse names like David Morse and Candice King, adding emotional weight to the Sinclair family drama. Lind’s performance is haunting and layered, perfectly fitting the story’s eerie tone. For me, any show that comes from the beautiful minds of Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie is something that is immediately added to my watchlist and is immediately my first choice for this week’s list of the top 10 shows on Amazon!
Mentiras, The Series
Set in the vibrant 1980s, this Mexican musical drama, Mentiras, pivots around four women: Belinda Peregrin (Daniela Levy de Mijares), Diana Bovio (Dulce D’Alessio), Regina Blandón (Yuri Bose), and Mariana Treviño( Lupita Romo), who all loved the same man Luis Gerardo Méndez (Emmanuel Mijares). When he dies under mysterious circumstances, the women become suspects in a tangled web of romance and betrayal. Exciting right? The cast performs classic ’80s hits with the spirit of a jukebox musical, and their chemistry drives the emotional core of the show.
The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy
This charming British dramedy, The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy, features a stellar ensemble at a struggling hospital that becomes a hotspot for a quirky alien patient. The tight-knit cast balances the portrayal of medical chaos with sci-fi wonder. With an incredible cast of Kieran Culkin (Dr. Plowp), Stephanie Hsu (Dr. Sleech), Natasha Lyonne ( Nurse Tup), Keke Palmer (Dr. Klak), and Maya Rudolph (Dr. Vlam), to name a few, it’s heartfelt and funny, with British humor and an out-of-this-world twist!
Almost Paradise
In Almost Paradise, Sean Patrick Flanery stars as Alex Walker, a former DEA agent turned reluctant hero in the Philippines. Partnered with a local detective, they take on cross-border crimes while immersing viewers in lush locations and Filipino culture. Flanery’s world-weary energy combines brilliantly with the dynamic local cast, creating a fresh feel in the detective procedural space. This is an excellent series to escape to and a clear, fun choice for this week’s top 10 shows on Amazon Prime!
On Call
If you’re craving a police procedural that feels fast, raw, and real, On Call should be on your radar! This new Amazon Original series stars Troian Bellisario as Traci Harmon, a seasoned cop in Long Beach tasked with training a young rookie, Alex Diaz, played by Brandon Larracuente. The show unfolds in near real-time, using body cam and dash cam footage to immerse you in the gritty, unpredictable world of law enforcement.
What makes On Call stand out is its fresh format and emotional punch. Bellisario brings sharp intensity to her role, while her dynamic with Larracuente feels both authentic and engaging. With supporting appearances from Eriq La Salle, Lori Loughlin, and Rich Ting, the cast is stacked with talent that elevates every moment!
Haven
Emily Rose plays Audrey Parker, an FBI agent who arrives in the coastal town of Haven, Maine, only to discover residents burdened with strange supernatural “Troubles.” Along with local cop Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant), she tries to help them while unraveling her own mysterious past in this series.
With tension and supernatural lore that deepen over its eight seasons, Haven combines procedural structure with serialized intrigue. It’s a supernatural ride, with a great cast that also includes Eric Balfour (Duke Crocker), Adam Copeland (Dwight Hendrickson), and John Dunsworth (Dave Teagues). This is a series that you don’t want to miss out on!
Them
Created by Little Marvin, Them is a limited anthology series that explores the terror in America, focusing on a Black family, the Emory family, in 1950s Los Angeles. With a cast consisting of Deborah Ayorinde, who plays Livia “Lucky” Emory, Shahadi Wright Joseph as Ruby Lee Emory, Ashley Thomas as Henry Emory, and Alison Pill as Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Wendel (plus more), they face horrifying racism, and something even more terrifying, in an all-white neighborhood.
The cast, throughout the seasons, delivers powerful, nuanced performances, and the writing challenges viewers both publicly and privately. It’s a tough watch, but riveting and culturally resonant, ideal for thoughtful horror fans.
Murder, She Wrote
Angela Lansbury is iconic as Jessica Fletcher, a bestselling mystery writer who seems to stumble over real homicides wherever she goes. This is a personal choice for this week’s top 10 shows on Amazon, as I just realized that it’s available on this platform! With endless clever whodunits, cozy town charm, and Jessica’s charm and intuition, Murder, She Wrote, remains a comfort staple.
Her warm sleuthing paired with witty dialogue makes it a timeless binge. If you love a good puzzle wrapped in nostalgia, Murder, She Wrote is your perfect streaming choice for this week and beyond! I’m actually considering another full re-watch myself!
Hart of Dixie
In Hart of Dixie, Rachel Bilson stars as Zoe Hart, a New York doctor who unexpectedly inherits a Southern practice in quirky Bluebell, Alabama. The small-town cast, including Jaime King (Lemon Breeland), Scott Porter (George Tucker), and Cress Williams (Lavon Hayes), brings charm, romance, and community ups and downs.
With Rachel’s mix of big-city ideals and southern hospitality, Hart of Dixie has Gilmore Girls vibes with medical cases. It’s cozy, romantic, and just breezy enough to make for feel-good streaming!
1-800-Missing
1-800-Missing stars Caterina Scorsone as Jess Mastriani, a young woman who gains psychic visions of missing people after being struck by lightning. Her abilities soon land her a position with the FBI, where she’s partnered with veteran agent Nicole Scott, played by Vivica A. Fox, who brings a grounded, no-nonsense presence to balance out Jess’s intuitive approach, and it’s quite a treat.
What really sets this series apart from other series is the chemistry between Scorsone and Fox, which creates a compelling push-and-pull dynamic between instinct and investigation. Each episode offers a new missing-person case with high stakes and emotional tension, while deeper threads explore the characters’ pasts and personal challenges. This series feels like a true hidden gem!
