The five best Prime Video shows of 2023 include a hilarious hidden camera experiment, a David Cronenberg remake, and a bloody superhero spinoff.
If you have an Amazon Prime subscription and you aren’t checking out the shows on Prime Video, you’re missing out.

When it comes to TV shows, Amazon Prime Video had fabulous ones this year. Four of the five shows listed here were released in 2023 and one returned with its second season this year. The shows are all very different in terms of premises and stories, but all five have one special thing in common: they are totally worth watching.

Renewed for a second season, this spinoff of The Boys didn’t disappoint. Existing in the same universe, it follows teenagers attending the Godolkin University School of Crimefighting. They’re training to become elite Supes, with the ultimate hope of joining the illustrious group known as The Seven. The compelling storyline in Gen V centers around a misfit group of young Supes, each with special powers, from one who can control minds and wipe memories with a single touch to another who can literally burst into flames and use superhuman strength. When they discover something sinister going on at the school, their powers and allegiances are put to the test.
Packed with the same vulgar, violent sensibilities that is par for the course with The Boys, Gen V is also just as clever, subversive, politically charged, and sardonic. Gen V is the perfect superhero show to appease the appetite of fans of The Boys as they anxiously await season 4 of that show, which is due out in 2024.
Stream Gen V on Prime Video.
