The 25 Best Shows on Amazon Prime Right Now
WiredWhile Netflix is busy pumping out more series than any one person could watch, some of the best shows are on Amazon Prime Video. It's all backed up with plenty of Mission: Impossible–style action, of course, but it’s the sparkling chemistry between the show's leads that will leave you thinking, “Brangelina who?” Reacher Amazon has a way with action thrillers focused on military tough guys who answer to "Jack R"—see Jack Ryan, also making this guide—and this sharp adaptation of Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels continues the trend. The Wheel of Time Based on Robert Jordan’s sprawling novel series—one so vast it makes Game of Thrones look concise—this is one of Amazon’s most ambitious, and expensive, series to date. Raine is a phenomenally commanding lead throughout, while Capaldi's sinister performance is one of the most chilling you’ll see on screen. Season one is a smutty yet wonderful crescendo of self-destruction driven by a cast of characters that includes Fleabag’s intensely awkward sister Claire, her selfish and pretentious stepmother, and her clueless father.
