Greatest Series to Binge on Prime Video This Week


Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham and Oscar winner Octavia Spencer have shot the new action-comedy series Ride or Die to streaming success. However, it isn’t the only show proving popular on the streamer, with the likes of Off Campus, based on a series of books by Elle Kennedy, the Legally Blonde prequel Elle, and the new eight-episode YA drama Sterling Point just three of the biggest hits. However, Prime Video’s most ass-kicking series is back in business this week, ready to storm to the streaming summit. So, with all that in mind, here’s a look at three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.

1

‘Reacher’ (2022–Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 95% | IMDb: 8.0/10

The best recommendation across all streaming platforms this weekend is undoubtedly the long-awaited return of Reacher. After a brutal third season, Alan Ritchson‘s titular skull-cracker is back for his most pulse-racing season yet. The upcoming fourth season will adapt Gone Tomorrow, the 13th novel in Child’s long-running series, which will include 30 fight sequences spread across its eight episodes.

Ritchson has truly made Reacher his own, transforming a beloved literary character into one of the best on-screen action leads of the decade. Season 4 is already earning rave reviews, with Collider’s David Caballero writing, “Reacher Season 4 stays true to itself by delivering a fistful of rageful, determined justice that will have you cheering through gritted teeth.”

‘Good Girls Revolt’ (2015–2016)

Rotten Tomatoes: 71% | IMDb: 8.1/10

If you’re part of the minority not tucking into the latest season of Reacher this weekend, then perhaps this decade-old hidden gem is worth your time? Starring Anna Camp, Genevieve Angelson, and Erin Darke as a group of researchers for a magazine called News of the Week, Good Girls Revolt dives into the personal and professional lives of the characters working in the America of the ’60s.

Often likened to Mad Men, Good Girls Revolt is a clever, compelling drama inspired by real-life events and Lynn Povich’s book from 2013. Featuring a stellar cast and immersive costume and set design, Good Girls Revolt was sadly cancelled at the end of its first season. However, this means that with only ten episodes available, Good Girls Revolt is perfect for a full binge-watch this weekend.

‘Overcompensating’ (2025–Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 93% | IMDb: 7.7/10

Who doesn’t love a teen comedy? Overcompensating, created by and starring Benito Skinner, is one of the best examples of the genre in the past twelve months. The series follows a hugely popular high school football player who makes the transition to college and is forced to come to terms with his sexuality.

A hilarious, touching queer comedy during a boom in the genre, Overcompensating flies by with its laugh-a-minute scripts and superb lead performances. Boasting a near-perfect score of ninety-three percent on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, this critically acclaimed coming-of-age gem is a must-watch this weekend. With production for the second season officially wrapping in June, Overcompensating will likely return sometime in late twenty-six or early twenty-seven.
