Leverage: Redemption2021
The Bondsman (2025)
The premise of The Bondsman, one of the best Amazon Prime original series right now, is totally fun, and the reviews have been largely positive. The series also stars Jennifer Nettles of the band Sugarland, Beth Grant (The Mindy Project), and Damon Herriman (Justified, Mindhunter).
Freaks and Geeks (1999)
One of those shows fans universally believe was canceled too soon, Freaks and Geeks only lasted a single season back in 1999-2000. But it’s still talked about to this day. The coming-of-age teen comedy-drama centers on the awkwardness of high school life and the aptly named cliques that are often part of it, including the ones reflected in the show’s title. The show was a launchpad for the careers of some of today’s biggest comedy stars, including Linda Cardellini, John Francis Daley, James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, and Busy Philipps.
Now considered a cult classic, Freaks and Geeks also put Judd Apatow on the map as a producer, paving the way for the many comedy films he has made since. You can now watch all 18 episodes, including the last six that never aired before cancellation.
#1 Happy Family USA (2025)
Another project from Ramy Youssef, he hits it out of the park again with #1 Happy Family USA, an adult animated sitcom about an Egyptian American family living in America in the 2000s. The Husseins are peaceful and patriotic, simply trying to navigate life in a country very different from their culture.
One of those comedies on Amazon Prime Video you need to watch if you love adult animated series, #1 Happy Family USA will have you in stitches. Youssef himself voices the main character, while other characters are voiced by Mandy Moore, Chris Redd, Alia Shawkat, Kieran Culkin, Timothy Olyphant, and Bradley Whitford.
Leverage: Redemption (2021)
Are you loving Noah Wyle in The Pitt, the Max medical drama that drew 10 million viewers for its first season? If you want more of him now that season one is done, Leverage: Redemption is the right medicine. This action crime drama, a revival of Leverage, follows a team of criminals, each with their own special set of skills, from thievery to hacking. They work together to carry out various heists, fashioning themselves as Peter Pan vigilantes who take down corporations and governments that take advantage of citizens.
The main character from Leverage, Nate (Timothy Hutton), has passed on. But now, his widow Sophie (Gina Bellman) has reassembled the team to work a job with a crooked lawyer named Harry (Wyle). He wants the team to help him finish jobs that the law doesn’t. Most of the original cast returns to reprise their roles, including Aldis Hodge (Cross), Christian Kane (Angel), and Beth Riesgraf (68 Whiskey).
House of David (2025)
Centered around the life of David (Michael Iskander) from texts in the Hebrew Bible, House of David follows the young man’s journey from shepherd to battling Goliath (Martyn Ford) to be king. Set in Israel in 1000 BC, David is selected by Samuel (Stephen Lang) when Saul (Ali Suliman) begins his descent from the regal post. As David commences his journey, he faces challenges along the way in both his relationships and his faith.
Reaching the second position on Amazon Prime Video’s most-watched list after its first three episodes premiered in February 2025, it’s no surprise that House of David, one of the best new shows to stream, was renewed for a second season before even finishing its first.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
61%
9.4/10Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of a magical, all-female organization known as the Aes Sedai, takes five young people from their small village to embark on a dangerous adventure. She believes one of them could be the reincarnation of the Dragon — a child given powers of prophecy that could save the world (or destroy it).
Filled with the stunning visuals and high action one would expect from a show in the epic fantasy genre, The Wheel of Time, based on the Robert Jordan novel series of the same name, is a perfect replacement if you’re missing shows like Game of Thrones and His Dark Materials.
Reacher (2022)
68%
8.5/10The character first popularized on-screen by Tom Cruise on the big screen is now on TV in the Amazon original action show Reacher. Except this time, Alan Ritchson (Smallville) plays Jack Reacher, the former U.S. Army major who has moved on to travel the U.S., looking for whatever odd jobs he can find to take down bad guys.
The series is based on the Lee Child book series, and like the first movie, season 1 of Reacher focuses on the storyline from the debut novel, Killing Floor. After being arrested for a murder he did not commit, Reacher finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy. In season 2, the story is based on the events in Bad Luck and Trouble, while season 3 dives into his journey to try and rescue a DEA informant. With danger at every turn, Reacher is a thrilling ride all the way through.
Invincible (2021)
8.7/10With a star-studded cast and Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead universe, behind it, it’s no surprise that this Amazon original series has received rave reviews. While it’s an animated superhero series, Invincible isn’t a show to watch with the kids. As per Kirkman’s signature style, there’s a lot of violence and gore. At the heart of the story is Mark Grayson (voiced by Beef‘s Steven Yeun), the teenage son of the world’s most powerful superhero, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons). Once Mark turns 18, he begins to develop his own superhero skills and must balance becoming Invincible with being a typical teenage boy, as well as learning the truth about his dad.
Keep an ear out for the members of the Guardians of the Globe superhero team, loosely based on the Justice League, all of whom are voiced by Walking Dead cast members, past and present. Also lending their local talents to the series are A-listers like Zachary Quinto, Gillian Jacobs, Walton Goggins, Seth Rogen, Mark Hamill, Mahershala Ali, and Zazie Beetz.
How to Get Away with Murder (2014)
If you want to commit a murder and get away with it, the person to consult with is Annalise Keating (Viola Davis), according to this show. That isn’t to say she commits murder. However, Annalise is the one to get you acquitted of any charges. Davis plays the fiercely intelligent but troubled law professor and defense attorney in this juicy legal drama that sees her life take a sordid turn. After her husband’s murder, she and a group of star students try to uncover (and cover) the truth.
How to Get Away With Murder continued for six seasons and featured lies, deceit, and betrayal. Being able to study under Keating’s tutelage at first seemed like a dream come true. But as time went on, the once-promising students became unrecognizable versions of themselves. A deliciously soapy Shonda Rhimes creation, How to Get Away with Murder will easily become your next guilty pleasure.
Monk (2002)
The detective-with-a-quirk angle has been done time and time again. Monk is one of the best shows to do it. Tony Shalhoub plays the titular character, a private detective who deals with challenges that stem from his obsessive-compulsive disorder and various phobias. Despite the setbacks he experiences from this, however, he’s a brilliant detective who helps the local police solve strange cases while simultaneously looking into the mysterious murder of his own wife.
Monk was so popular that it returned with a movie, Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie, which streams on Peacock. Before diving into that, check out all eight seasons of the multi-Emmy-winning police procedural on Amazon Prime Video.
JAG (1995)
JAG is one of those forgotten series that has made such an impact on the legal drama genre yet doesn’t get the credit it deserves. In fact, NCIS, which has gone on to become one of the best-known, longest-running, most popular police procedurals, is actually a spinoff of JAG.
The title is the U.S. military acronym for Judge Advocate General, and the series follows these uniformed lawyers who exclusively work to prosecute and defend cases that involve military justice. They have a special knowledge of military operational justice, which makes them uniquely qualified to handle these cases. JAG was canceled by NBC after its first season, but CBS picked it up shortly after, where it continued to air for nine more seasons. Now, you can watch the entire show with your streaming subscription.
Elementary (2012)
Elementary is one of those shows that went on and on, a familiar part of the primetime TV lineup for seven seasons. One of many interpretations of Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic character Sherlock Holmes, Jonny Lee Miller plays the character opposite Lucy Liu as a gender-swapped Dr. Joan Watson. Together, the pair investigate cases.
In this version, Holmes is a former Scotland Yard consultant and recovering drug addict, while Watson is a sober companion, hired by Holmes’ father to ensure he stays on the straight and narrow. But as they grow closer, Watson proves invaluable in helping with his cases. Elementary is one of those comforting police procedurals you can always rely on to entertain. The fact that five of the seven seasons of Elementary have a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating speaks volumes.
Cross (2024)
Alex Cross, a character from James Patterson’s series of novels, has been portrayed several times onscreen. Morgan Freeman played him in Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, while Tyler Perry did so in Alex Cross. In Cross, Aldis Hodge takes on the role of the detective and forensic psychologist obsessed with getting into the minds of both killers and victims to solve crimes.
Struggling to balance his work and personal life as a single father grieving the death of his wife, Cross has his own methods, and he’s very good at his job. But he meets a menacing adversary in a serial killer who ritualistically tortures, mutilates, and murders his victims. Cross also faces a threat against his own family. Ahead of its first season premiere, Cross was already renewed for a second season.
Hannibal (2013)
One of those shows that was canceled far too soon, Hannibal aired for three riveting seasons. Based on the Thomas Harris characters from the novels Red Dragon, Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising, the series stars Hugh Dancy as FBI special investigator Will Graham and Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Hannibel Lecter, a forensic psychiatrist who is treating Graham. While Graham is tortured in his hunt for a serial killer, he looks to Dr. Lecter for advice and counsel. Little does he know that Dr. Lecter is himself a vicious and cunning serial killer and cannibal. Graham is attending the sessions to help him through the trauma, but Dr. Lecter is using them to manipulate the investigator, fueling his darkest desires in the process. But eventually, the two develop an odd bond and mutual understanding.
Hannibal keeps you at the edge of your seat the entire way through as Dr. Lecter becomes fascinated with Graham’s unexpected sense of empathy for the psychopathic murderers he wishes to capture. Fabulously cast, tense, and psychologically thrilling, Hannibal is widely considered to be one of the best TV series of its kind.
Three-Body (2023)
Have you fallen in love with Netflix’s 3 Body Problem? Amazon has its own interpretation of Cixin Liu’s novel The Three-Body Problem in the similarly named Three-Body. Released in China in 2023, Three-Body is now available to stream in Mandarin with English subtitles. This version has been lauded as a faithful adaptation of the book centered around an alien species depicted in a video game invading Earth. The show follows Wang Miao (Luyi Zhang), a nanotech specialist asked by detective Shi Qiang (Hewei Yu) to help investigate strange instances of suicides by scientists. There was a backlash from China against Netflix’s version of the story; it doesn’t take place entirely in China, includes more racially diverse actors, and swaps the genders of some main characters. Three-Body is less controversial yet just as deep, complex, and exciting. You’re not going to enjoy the same pacing; there are 30 episodes in this series. But, it’s an exciting watch for those who have watched 3 Body Problem, allowing for the opportunity to compare and contrast how the story is delivered on screen.
The Devil's Hour (2022)
70%
7.8/10Nothing good ever happens at 3 a.m. If you have ever heard this saying, you know that the time between 3 and 4 a.m. is known as the “Devil’s Hour,” and this is precisely when Lucy (Jessica Raine of Call the Midwife) keeps waking up, night after night, following the same recurring nightmare. The event, in fact, has been a part of her life for as long as she can remember. It doesn’t help that Lucy’s eight-year-old son appears to be lacking emotion and is socially withdrawn. When she becomes tied to a string of murders in town, Lucy questions her own sanity and why so much darkness surrounds her. The British psychological thriller The Devil’s Hour also stars Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) as a reclusive, murderous nomad, and Nikesh Patel (Starstruck) as a detective named Ravi who is investigating the killings. This show is dark, ominous, and totally creepy.
The Legend of Vox Machina (2022)
81%
8.4/10Red Oaks (2014)
What ensues is a warm and heartfelt nod to the sex comedies that were a staple of that decade like Porky’s and Class. Boasting dry humor and a solid ensemble that includes Ennis Esmer as the hilarious tennis pro Nash, Red Oaks rises above the raucousness to create characters you really care about.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
The Boys (2019)
49%
8.7/10Of all the superhero TV shows and movies out there, none of them are quite like The Boys. It’s a dark, depraved deconstruction of super-powered heroes and villains. Based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s comic book series of the same name, The Boys follows a group of vigilantes who take it upon themselves to police the super-powered heroes who abuse their abilities and take advantage of the trust the public has placed in them.
As grim and shockingly violent as it is clever, the series is set in a world in which superpowers, corporate greed, and media consolidation have bled together to create a particularly frightening form of corruption. The audience sees it all through the eyes of Hughie, an average guy whose chance encounter with a superhero changes his life forever.
Battlestar Galactica (2004)
If you’ve been looking to find where you can stream Battlestar Galactica since it left Peacock, Amazon Prime Video is the answer. A reimagining of the original series from 1978, Battlestar Galactica follows a group of humans traveling in space through planets known as the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. When an android race known as the Cylons launches an attack, however, it seems a small group aboard the title ship are the only surviving members of the military among the now almost fully decimated population. The fate of the human race is literally in their hands as they desperately try to locate the rumored 13th colony called Earth to where they might hopefully be able to survive.
The military sci-fi series has been ranked by outlets like Time and The New York Times as being among the best TV shows of this generation. The series has developed a following of die-hard fans who appreciate not only the high entertainment value but the deeper political themes and parallels; stories are often analyzed, dissected, and compared to real-life events from the past. When it comes to shows with great re-watch value, Battlestar Galactica ranks high on the list.
The Fall (2013)
Gillian Anderson (Scoop) and Jamie Dornan are a perfect match in this crime drama from Northern Ireland that is a must-watch for any fan of the serial killer sub-genre. Dornan convincingly plays Paul Spector in The Fall, a respectable family man and, ironically, a bereavement counsellor who has a dark secret — he’s also a ritualistic serial killer. While Paul has been getting away with it for some time, he meets his match in Metropolitan Police Superintendent Stella Gibson (Anderson). Slowly but surely, she starts to close in on him as being the unlikely perpetrator in a rash of deaths that all point to the same killer.
Intense, gripping, and wonderfully acted, The Fall will keep you at the edge of your seat the entire way through. While Paul’s identity as the killer is instantly revealed to viewers, the cat-and-mouse game as Stella’s acute instincts help her inch closer to catching him is absolutely nail-biting. If shows like Dexter and You are among your favorites, The Fall will be right up your alley, too.
Clarkson's Farm (2021)
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to run a farm? British TV presenter, journalist, and writer Jeremy Clarkson, best known for shows Top Gear and The Grand Tour, owns a farm in the Cotsworld. He uses his experience as a TV presenter to bring viewers fully into the experience in a compelling, educational, and engaging way in Clarkson’s Farm. The thousand-acre farm had been growing barley, rapeseed, and wheat before Clarkson decided to venture into farming himself and take over.
Humorously, Clarkson renamed the farm Diddly Squat in reference to the fact that it wasn’t producing much of anything. But together with viewers along for the ride, he learns the ropes and tries to make something of it. Inspirational, entertaining, and educational, Clarkson’s Farm takes you right from the first stages of running a farm (think learning how to use a tractor and seed drill) to running a farm shop, dealing with unexpected challenges (including the COVID-19 pandemic), herding cows, and by the end of the second season, opening his own restaurant. It’s a fascinating watch that sheds light on the importance and hard work of farmers and the farming community.
Fallout (2024)
One of the most anticipated new series of the year, Fallout is a post-apocalyptic tale based on the popular role-playing video game franchise of the same name. When a nuclear exchange in an alternate history leads to the apocalypse, a retro-futuristic society emerges above ground. Beneath it, those who survived live in bunkers known as Vaults. Centuries later, a woman who grew up in the Vault and knows nothing about life above ground decides to venture outside into a sinister and dangerous world.
Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) stars as Lucy, and Walton Goggins (The Righteous Gemstones) as The Ghoul, while the guest-starring cast includes Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Emerson, and Chris Parnell. With the story faithful to the game, gamer fans are excited to watch it play out in live-action form. Offering an interesting take on a post-apocalyptic scenario, however, Fallout will appeal to those who aren’t even familiar with the game, too.
Them (2021)
The black mirror anthology series Them from Lena Waithe (The Chi) is back this month with a second season called Them: The Scare. The first season was set in the ‘50s and followed a Black family moving into an all-white neighborhood during the Second Great Migration. While they try to acclimate, evil forces and otherworldly events begin to haunt them.
The second season, which comes three years after the first, sees actress Deborah Ayorinde return to the series but in a completely different role and time period, though it still takes place in Los Angeles. It’s now the ‘90s, and she’s LAPD Detective Dawn Reeve, who is investigating a horrific murder. She soon discovers a serial killer is on the loose, and her family becomes wrapped up in the evil that surrounds her. If you’re looking for a show with jump scares and are not against graphically violent scenes, curl up to the blood-curdling Them: Covenant (season one) and Them: The Scare (season 2).
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024)
A loose TV interpretation of the 2005 action comedy starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Mr. & Mrs. Smith stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine. The spy series has been well received for its combination of action with comedy and romance. The pair, both spies, agree to pose as a married couple, assuming the names of John and Jane Smith. In each episode, they get a new case with instructions delivered by anonymous text. From intercepting a package to infiltrating a black-tie silent auction, the pair have skills they put to the test in unique scenarios. Through eight episodes, they complete various missions while also growing closer to one another, and their budding romance could complicate things.
The two leads, both comedic talents, are what make this show a fun modern-day interpretation of the story. If you love spy shows with comedic twists and a dash of romance thrown in for good measure, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is worth checking out.
Expats (2024)
Nicole Kidman stars in Expats, a gripping drama based on the Janice Y. K. Lee novel The Expatriates. The series follows a group of American expatriates living in an affluent community in Hong Kong. Their lives become intertwined and linked by tragedy, and each person is on the brink of a breakdown.
The series explores the complications when your personal problems are never just your own. The series follows one woman grieving the disappearance of her child, another who is dealing with the inevitable breakdown of her marriage, and finally, a young woman trying to make a living in the bustling gig economy. Observational, emotional, and tense, Expats is a look into how privilege plays into every situation.
Hazbin Hotel (2024)
Did we really need another adult animated sitcom? If the positive response for Hazbin Hotel is any indication, the answer is an emphatic yes. This musical comedy centers around Charlie Morningstar (voiced by Erika Henningsen), the princess of Hell. She’s a typical Gen-Z-er, seeing the best in everyone and believing she can rehabilitate these lost souls to grant them permission to enter Heaven. She calls her rehab facility Hazbin Hotel, and it’s where she gives demons a shot at redemption before they are killed in the next annual purge.
Naturally, there’s an antagonist, and that’s “Radio Demon” Alastor (Amir Talai), who joins her cause and helps her run the hotel, but secretly it’s just to amuse himself with the ridiculousness of her idea. Described as vibrant, colorful, fast-paced, potty-mouthed, and even sometimes grotesque by critics, Hazbin Hotel is a fabulous addition to the mix.
American Horror Story (2011)
65%
8.0/10Gen V (2023)
Fans of The Boys will want to put Gen V on their radar. The superhero series spin-off follows a group of students at the Godolkin University School of Crimefighting who are tasked with competing in various battles as part of the deadly, special powers-filled curriculum. The goal? To see who is worthy of becoming a member of the next generation of supes for Vought International.
The series has an entirely new main cast, but there will be cameo appearances from a handful of fan-favorite characters from The Boys. Expect the same bloody gore and political satire while exploring the idea of how Vought gets its greedy, selfish grips on young supes in training. Each one has their own unique superpowers, and combined with the drive and determination to succeed (and survive), and the naivety about what’s in store, Gen V will get the blood boiling at the absurdity of it all.
Upload (2020)
67%
8.0/10In 2033, people who are near death can be “uploaded” into virtual reality afterlives of their choosing; but it will cost their families a pretty penny. These VR afterlives are run by six tech firms, setting up a new kind of corporate competition over human death. When Los Angeles party boy Nathan’s (Robbie Amell) self-driving car crashes, his girlfriend uploads him into the luxurious Lakeview digital afterlife. There, he meets Nora, a customer service representative for Lakeview, who onboards Nathan to his version of heaven.
The series follows their friendship as Nathan grows accustomed to life away from his loved ones while Nora balances her connection with the virtual Nathan with her real-life financial and personal struggles. But when Nathan, a talented coder who was on to something big before he died, discovers his death might not have been an accident after all, he must try to unravel what really happened. It all comes down to the economic disparity that continues to exist in Upload‘s afterlife just as strongly as it does in real life.
Good Omens (2019)
66%
8.1/10Based on the Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman novel of the same name, Good Omens sees the main characters, a demon named Crowley (David Tennant) and an angel named Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), trying to prevent Armageddon. The show follows various Christian themes as angels and the devil fight for control of humanity and the future.
Initially developed only as a limited series, the star-studded cast (along with a voice cast that includes Frances McDormand, Brian Cox, and Benedict Cumberbatch) and compelling story have seen it extended beyond that.
Jack Ryan (2018)
64%
8.1/10I'm a Virgo (2023)
American film director, producer, screenwriter, rapper, and communist activist Raymond “Boots” Riley (Sorry to Bother You) is behind this absurdist comedy about a 19-year-old Black man who stands 13 feet tall. Cootie is played by Jharrel Jerome (Moonlight, When They See Us), who actually stands about 5 feet, 8 inches The illusion of height is achieved through the use of old-school camera tricks (think Will Ferrell in Elf), not CGI.
I’m a Virgo follows Cootie as he comes out of hiding for the first time to join a society he knows nothing about, with the support of a new group of welcoming teenage friends. Meanwhile, there’s a vigilante superhero trying to make the city right by using brute force against minor criminals, and Cootie has attracted his attention. I’m a Virgo is worth a watch even just to see how they pull off the special effects without any use of CGI. But it’s also a unique coming-of-age story like no other that will have you laughing the whole way through.
The Grand Tour (2016)
8.7/10The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017)
80%
8.7/10If you want to watch a star being born, stop what you’re doing and immerse yourself in Rachel Brosnahan’s work as Miriam “Midge” Maisel on the 1950s-set comedy The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Midge is a housewife who pursues a career in stand-up comedy after her husband, Joe Maisel (Michael Zegen), unexpectedly leaves her.
After a drunken, impromptu, and mile-a-minute stand-up set that ends with Midge being arrested, hard-nosed venue employee Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein) takes Midge under her wing in hopes of molding a diamond in the rough. The show has won numerous well-deserved awards, solidifying its place among the best period comedy-dramas you can watch right now.
Jury Duty (2023)
A sleeper hit for Amazon one of 2023’s best comedies, Jury Duty is available through the streaming service’s Freevee channel, an ad-supported video-on-demand (VOD) option formerly known as IMDb TV. It’s worth sitting through the short ads, however, to enjoy the unique docu-comedy about those who end up called in for the most dreaded task: jury duty. But there’s a twist: the case isn’t actually real, and all but one person knows it.
Ronald Gladden stars as himself, a juror who happens to be the only one who doesn’t realize the trial is not actually real. James Marsden also stars as a parody of himself, an alternate juror, while the other jurors are up-and-coming actors with backgrounds in improv. Hailing from the producers of The Office, Jury Duty is not your typical workplace comedy. It’s a fun, semi-improvised series that critics have been mixed on, but fans seem to truly enjoy, giving it an almost perfect score on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.
Dead Ringers (2023)
Rachel Weisz takes on a dual role in this gender-reversed interpretation of the 1988 David Cronenberg psychological thriller of the same name. Playing the roles initially portrayed by Jeremy Irons, she’s a set of codependent twins named Elliot and Beverly who both work as gynecologists. They’re also unafraid to bend the rules in the name of delivering proper women’s health care.
The show is reportedly not for the faint of heart, with graphic depictions of childbirth and various medical procedures. But Dead Ringers combines hearty laughs with plenty of foul language, drugs, and debauchery. Elliot and Beverly are very different from one another, but both have the same goal: change the system, at any cost, in a way they think it should be done.
Class of '07 (2023)
7.5/10It’s like a more light-hearted version of Yellowjackets meets The Afterparty. When a group of women who attended an all-girls high school a decade prior come together again for a 10-year reunion, they wind up stuck at the school literally, and figuratively stuck in the past. A tidal wave hits causing the apocalypse, and the ladies must band together at the top of an island peak where their high school campus is located to try and survive.
The women, now grown, however, can’t help but revert to their adolescent selves. This forces them to deal with unresolved high school drama. A fun comedy, Class of ’07 will have you reliving your high school days and the friendships you made in an unbelievably absurd way.
Swarm (2023)
66%
7.3/10Donald Glover is behind this horror thriller about a young woman named Dre (Dominique Fishback), who is obsessed with a pop star (that bears an eerie resemblance in look and style to Beyoncé). Dre isn’t just a member of The Swarm, the name coined for the pop star’s followers (once again, similar to Beyoncé’s “BeyHive” group of die-hard fans), she takes her obsession to dark and troubling levels.
Swarm also stars Chloe Bailey (Grown-ish), Damson Idris (Snowfall), Paris Jackson (American Horror Stories), pop singer Billie Eilish, and Rory Culkin (Under the Banner of Heaven). Interestingly, Swarm also counts Malia Obama, daughter of President Barack Obama, among its writers.
Daisy Jones & the Six (2023)
While Daisy Jones & The Six is a fictional band created by author Taylor Jenkins Reid for her novel of the same name, the story is loosely inspired by Reid’s own experiences growing up watching the band Fleetwood Mac. The 10-episode miniseries is presented like a documentary, providing background interviews with the band members. Set in the ‘70s, the look and feel is that of the wild, hippie-centric world of music during that pivotal decade.
Follow Daisy Jones & The Six and their rise from unknown rock band to one of the biggest bands in the world, along with their subsequent downfall when the members shockingly decide to split at the height of their success. The series, which stars Riley Keough and Sam Claflin and hails from Reeese Witherspoon’s production company Hello Sunshine, shares parallels with many other popular rock bands of the ‘70s, ‘80s, and beyond that music lovers will enjoy dissecting.
The Terminal List (2022)
40%
8.2/10Based on the Jack Carr novel of the same name, The Terminal List stars Chris Pratt as Reece, a military man who is ambushed while his platoon is on a mission. Following his return home and his struggles with severe PTSD from these events, Reece begins to question what he remembers and what his role might have been in what happened. Through his investigation, Reece realizes that there might be more at play. And there are people working against him, which puts both himself and his family in danger.
The action thriller also stars Taylor Kitsch, Constance Wu, Riley Keough, and Patrick Schwarzenegger. While it was met with mixed reviews, The Terminal List has been renewed for a second season.
