For now, though, here are the 20 best Prime Video shows as of February 25, 2022. Set in Miami, this crime drama series follows forensic technician Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), who leads a double life as a vigilante serial killer. By day, he works for the Miami Metro Police Department but, once the sun goes down, Dexter hunts down murderers who, in his eyes, didn’t get the punishment they deserved from the US justice system. The original show ran for eight seasons – they’re all currently available to stream on Prime Video – and received plenty of acclaim and awards for its compelling and superbly crafted horror-esque crime-drama tale. The show struggled to recapture its best form post-season four but, early on at least, Dexter was one of the best shows of the mid-2000s. A 10-part limited series called Dexter: New Blood ran on Showtime from November 7,2021 to January 9, 2022, too. There’s no word on whether it’ll come to Prime Video in the future, though. Seasons on Prime Video: 8 The latest series from Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls, Bunheads) The Marvelous Mrs Maisel tells the story of ’50s housewife Miriam ‚Midge‘ Maisel as she attempts to become the best female stand-up comic in the US. After her husband confesses he’s been having an affair, ‚Midge‘ drunkenly gets on stage at a comedy club and discovers that she’s utterly hilarious. In a time when women aren’t encouraged to be publicly funny, Midge pursues her new-found comedic talent in the male-dominated stand up comedy world. But, unbeknownst to ‚Midge‘, the journey is far from a straightforward one. The multi-award winning period comedy-drama’s first two seasons drew plenty of critical acclaim. But, while season 3 was still pretty good, it didn’t live up to the expectations set by its predecessors. Reviews for the show’s fourth season show that it’s back to its best after a two-year break between seasons 3 and 4, though, so catch it while you can – season 5 is set to be its last instalment. Seasons on Prime Video: 4 Nearly six years on from Tom Cruise’s largely unsuccessful stint as the ex-military operative on the big screen, Amazon Studios brings Lee Child’s iconic novel series to life for television. Alan Ritchson (Titans) stars as the titular character – aka Jack Reacher – in the show’s first season, which is based on Killing Floor, the first book in Child’s long-running crime thriller book series. A drifter owning few possessions following his departure from the armed forces, Reacher arrives in Margrave, Georgia at the exact moment that the small US town is reeling from its first major crime in 20 years. Somehow, Reacher is wrongly framed for the crime and, following his arrest, agrees to help the authorities get the bottom of the case in exchange for his freedom. Given his army expertise and his hulking frame, it seems that those responsible picked the wrong guy to pin the crime on. Reviews have been largely positive for this one, with many praising Ritchson’s turn as Reacher and showrunner Nick Santora’s faithful retelling of Child’s first novel. One to check out if you’re a fan of action and mystery thrillers. Seasons on Prime Video: 1 Set in the fictional Exandrian kingdom of Tal’Dorei, The Legend of Vox Machina tells the story of a band of mercenary misfits hired to eradicate an unnamed evil entity that’s plagued the realm. It isn’t long before the seven-strong group, though, realize that they’ve become embroiled in a battle against a far more sinister and potentially world-threatening enemy. Unsurprisingly, Prime Video’s adaptation of Critical Role’s beloved D&D webseries retains plenty of what made the original show such a hit. It’s hilarious, action-packed, emotional, and full of twists and turns. It’s also pretty grisly and horror-esque on occasion, so those who like gruesome content will get a kick out of it. The original Critical Role cast return to voice their characters, while there’s a slew of famous actors who also cameo. Best of all, episodes are only 25 to 30 minutes in length, meaning that those long sessions filled with convoluted D&D terminology, has been removed to make for a freer, tighter narrative throughout. Season 2 has already been greenlit, too. Seasons on Prime Video: 1 Based on Israeli TV show On The Spectrum, As We See It is an English-language comedy-drama remake that tells the tale of three 20-something roommates on the autism spectrum. The TV show follows Jack (Rick Glassman), Harrison (Albert Rutecki) and Violet (Sue Ann Pien) as they navigate many of life’s ‚coming of age‘ moments, revel in the good times, and soldier on through the bad. As We See It follows the trio as they strive to find love, make new friends, hold down jobs and negotiate a world where the vast majority of people don’t understand individuals with autism.
