Prime Video’s top 10 is always packed with popular shows, but let’s be honest — not every title is a standout. Sure, there’s the long-time hit “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” in the No.1 spot and the critically acclaimed drama “Tulsa King” lingering around the top charts, but with so many options, it’s easy to wonder if there’s anything new worth watching on the streaming service.

With Prime Video’s growing selection, not everyone wants to sift through the noise. That’s where we come in — we’ve handpicked three of the best shows from the current top 10, each one guaranteed to deliver top-tier entertainment. Here’s what you should be watching right now.

This is based on the Prime Video top 10 shows as of Monday, October 21.

BEST SHOWS IN THE PRIME VIDEO TOP 10

“Reacher” season 3 is set to drop next year, making now the perfect time to binge the first two seasons or dive into the series for the first time and catch up. Plus, the show just got renewed for season 4, which is even better (and proves how good it is).

Based on Lee Child’s best-selling Jack Reacher novels, the show follows the story of Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson), a former military police officer turned drifter with a knack for solving crimes. Reacher finds himself involved in dangerous mysteries wherever he goes, using his sharp intellect and brute strength to seek justice. Season 1 kicks off with Reacher arriving in a small town where he's quickly accused of murder.

“The Devil’s Hour” has been gaining popularity again now that season 2 is available on Prime Video. The show centers around Lucy Chambers (Jessica Raine), a social worker who wakes up at 3:33 a.m. every night, a time often referred to as the “devil's hour.” These nightly awakenings leave her mentally and emotionally frayed, as she tries to make sense of the unexplained phenomena that seem to be tied to her troubled son, Isaac (Benjamin Chivers), who shows little emotion and engages in bizarre behavior.

Lucy is soon drawn into a police investigation involving a string of brutal murders. Detective Ravi Dhillon (Nikesh Patel), is hunting a mysterious serial killer named Gideon (Peter Capaldi), and Lucy somehow finds herself connected to the crimes.
