Another fall weekend is soon upon us, which means it's time to settle in, fire up your TV, and find the best series worth binging. The arrival of November and the cozy pre-winter weather makes it the perfect time to watch something new or revisit an old classic. Your first instinct might be Netflix's endless library, or perhaps Crunchyroll for some anime entertainment, but Prime Video's extensive streaming platform also has loads to offer if you know where to look (and you already finished Carrie).
This weekend, we're highlighting three very different stories that deserve a spot on your watchlist. One focuses on a former Navy SEAL’s return following a globe-trotting, revenge-filled first season, while another is a wonderfully twisted mind-bender starring a former Time Lord, one that’s gearing up for its final season. The last pick is a sharp Black Mirror-esque take on the afterlife, but with a comedic twist.
Back for its second season and riding the momentum of the action-packed prequel series Dark Wolf, The Terminal List season 2 lands on Prime Video with another high-octane adventure starring Chris Pratt as Navy SEAL Commander James Reece. The first season centers on Reece’s tragic homecoming after a disastrous mission leaves his entire platoon dead. Framed for the murder of his wife and child, Reece launches a violent quest to uncover the truth behind his platoon’s ambush and family’s slaying, all while exacting brutal revenge on everyone involved.
Season 2 picks up exactly where the story left off, adapting Jack Carr's follow-up novel, True Believer, wherein Reece gets caught up in another international conspiracy. Building directly on the events of the prequel series Dark Wolf, the new season taps fan favorites Mohammed "Mo" Farooq (Dar Salim), an elite Iraqi Special Operations Forces officer, and CIA agent Jules Landry (Luke Hemsworth) as key players in what feels like a Call of Duty campaign adapted for TV. Reece is pulled out of hiding in order to track down his former ally who has seemingly gone rogue, requiring him to navigate a treacherous web of military contractors, arms deals, and CIA double-crosses to uncover who’s really pulling all the strings.
If you're looking for something a little more unsettling, The Devil's Hour is one of Prime Video's most underrated thrillers. The series stars Jessica Raine as Lucy Chambers, a woman who routinely wakes up at exactly 3:33 a.m. every night. Plagued by disturbing visions and seemingly disconnected from the world around her, Lucy soon finds herself entangled in a murder investigation involving Peter Capaldi's Gideon Shepherd, a mysterious serial killer who appears to know far more about her life than he should.
Created by Tom Moran, The Devil's Hour is this very strange blend of psychological horror, supernatural mystery, and police procedural. Its second season doubles down on the show's brain-melting mythology, taking the story in wild new directions as Lucy and Gideon form an uneasy alliance to prevent a catastrophic crime. With the third and final season arriving on Prime Video in December, there's no better time to binge the first two before the story reaches its conclusion.
