These Are the Best Amazon Prime TV Shows to Binge-Watch Right Now

From Fleabag to Daisy Jones & The Six, these captivating shows are a must-watch.

Among the never-ending list of first world problems we shamefully admit to experiencing every now and then, finding a TV show to watch always seems to be the top of the list.

You would think with thousands of shows at our disposal we’d be able to select one with ease each evening, but as soon as our eyes meet that streaming service home screen we’re hit with incurable decision paralysis that leads us to scroll aimlessly into oblivion.

So for those who live that experience nightly, we’ve rounded up 12 of the best shows for you to stream on Amazon Prime right now.

1. Daisy Jones & The Six

One of the most anticipated new releases of 2023 was the adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling novel Daisy Jones & The Six. The story follows the rise and fall of a fictional rock band, and the tumultuous relationship between its two lead singers. The series truly delivers on all the tempestuous chemistry and romance that the book had in spades. Starring Riley Keough as Daisy Jones and Sam Claflin as rock star Billy Dunne, the casting in this show is epic. And just you wait til’ you see the set and costume design.

2. The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart

This Australian production is based on the beloved Holly Ringland novel of the same name, which follows a young girl, Alice, who escapes a horrific family situation to live with her grandmother on a flower farm, discovering more about her life and family history in the process. The cast for this powerful series is incredible: Alycia Debnam-Carey stars as Alice, with Sigourney Weaver as her grandmother June. Plus, there’s Asher Keddie, Leah Purcell and Tilda Cobham-Hervey, just to name a few. With stunning visuals and a propulsive, moving story, this show is a must-watch.

3. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Set in the 1950s and '60s, this premium series follows a New York City housewife with a knack for stand-up comedy. Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls), there's plenty of fast-talking banter, but what you'll really love is the incredible costuming and set design. With parts of the series set in Paris and award-winning performances from its stars (Rachel Brosnahan who plays the titular Mrs Maisel and Alex Borstein who plays her manager, Susie) you will be delighted with each of this show's spectacular episodes.

4. Fleabag

Delightfully dark and wonderfully witty, Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag explores loss and the complexity of love for women in the modern age. The series follows the life of 30-something Fleabag (yes – that is her name) as she struggles to live a somewhat normal life after the tragic death of her best friend. There's two seasons for you to savour... and cry about when you get to the final episode.

5. The Office

One of Prime’s many excellent qualities is the fact that it’s home to The Office. This fly-on-the-wall "docu-reality" parody of modern American office life is set in Scranton, a quiet city in northeast Pennsylvania. The series delves into the lives of employees from Dunder Mifflin, a fictional paper and office supplies wholesale company. Starring Steve Carrell, Jenna Fischer, and John Krasinski (plus many, many more) this endearing show will have you laughing all the way from season one through to nine.

6. The Summer I Turned Pretty

Based on the beloved teen novel series by Jenny Han – she of To All The Boys I Loved Before fame – this Prime binge watch followed two families as they spent a memorable summer at the fictional Cousins Beach, in Massachusetts. Our protagonist Belly loves coming to this family home where she made so many memories, but this past summer, Conrad and his brother Jeremiah both declared their love for her, and things got a little confusing. In season two, Belly is once again torn between these two boys, and the stakes are even higher this time, with illness and drama threatening the house the family loves so much.

7. Jury Duty

We can guarantee you’ve never seen a show like this before. Jury Duty is an American reality hoax sitcom television series created by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, about a fake jury trial. The series stars a group of actors amongst one individual who believes the series of events that unfold before him are real. This addictive show consists of 8 hilarious episodes – perfect for a weekend of binge-watching.

8. Deadloch

A comedy series with bite, Deadloch skewers all the tropes of mystery shows that you know and love. Set in a sleepy Tasmanian town scandalised by a dead body that washes up on the beach, the show follows a team of detectives who must solve the crime before it threatens to rain on the parade of the town’s annual ‘Winter Feastival’. Funny, silly, and clever, it's a perfect binge-watch for anyone who has spent too long brooding over murder mystery shows like Broadchurch or Shetland.

9. Luxe Listings Sydney

Luxe Listings Sydney is the juicy fix you need if you love Selling Sunset. Join Gavin Rubinstein, D’leanne Lewis, Simon Cohen, and Monika Tu, as all four of them are in contention to secure the most epic deals as the property bubble in Sydney’s glossy eastern suburbs shows no sign of bursting. This is definitely a bingeable series, so cancel all of your plans and prepare for a weekend on the couch to devour this superficial drama.

10. Class of ‘07
