Best Amazon Original TV Shows

Here's our ranking of the best Amazon original TV showsin Prime Video's streaming catalog. Streaming's importance in the multimedia landscape has grown exponentially over the past decade, and that's largely down to an increased focus upon original content. Old favorites and box sets no longer suffice in such a crowded market, meaning every streaming service worth their salt must offer original, exclusive content featuring high production values and famous faces in order to keep those subscription fees rolling in. The major success of House of Cards and Stranger Things propelled Netflix to the top of the streaming pack, but other platforms have since followed suit.

Arguably the red brand's biggest contender is Prime Video. Incorporated into Jeff Bezos' Amazon Prime premium shopping tier, Prime Video's rise is demonstrated perfectly by the recent purchase of MGM, swallowing major franchises such as James Bond in the process. Prime Video's growth can also be felt in its impressive roster of original TV shows — a diverse range encompassing all genres and styles, some comfortingly familiar, others strikingly subversive. Big things lie over the horizon too, with Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power lined up for a Middle-earth extravaganza in September 2022.
