Prime Video has had a stellar year, delivering a diverse slate of originals that have kept subscribers glued to their screens. From the adrenaline-fueled fourth season of Reacher to the biting satire of The Boys' final season, and not forgetting Mike Flanagan's chilling take on Stephen King's Carrie, the streamer has proven it can compete with the best. As we settle into November, there's still a treasure trove of content waiting to be discovered. If you're planning a weekend binge, we've rounded up three standout series that deserve a spot on your watchlist.
The Greatest: A Knockout Biopic
Kicking off our list is The Greatest, a brand-new biographical series that chronicles the life of boxing icon Muhammad Ali. With Michael B. Jordan on board as executive producer and Ben Watkins at the helm, this show promises an intimate look at the man behind the legend. Jaleen Best, known for his role in All American: Homecoming, steps into Ali's shoes, delivering a performance that captures both the public bravado and the private struggles of the sports icon. According to Collider's Victoria Luxford, Best excels at "mimicking Ali’s cadence and bravado while also portraying the shy young man behind the scenes." All eight episodes are available to stream now, making it an ideal pick for a weekend marathon. The supporting cast, including Omari Hardwick, Dana Gourrier, Kai Parham, and Amin Joseph, adds depth to this compelling narrative.
The Terminal List: High-Octane Action Returns
If you're in the mood for something with more explosive energy, The Terminal List has just returned for its highly anticipated second season. After a four-year hiatus, Chris Pratt is back as James Reece, a former Navy SEAL who, eight months after the events of Season 1, is on a mission to dismantle terrorist networks. The series has quickly climbed to the top of Prime Video's charts, and it's easy to see why. Season 2, according to Collider's Michael John Petty, "leans into everything that makes the franchise work and refuses to walk back everything else," earning an 8/10 in his review. With its relentless pacing and gripping storyline, this is a show that demands to be binged. For those who crave action and tension, The Terminal List is a must-watch this weekend.
Sorry For Your Loss: A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering
For viewers who prefer something more introspective, Sorry For Your Loss is a hidden treasure that originally aired on the now-defunct Facebook Watch. Starring Elizabeth Olsen, this two-season drama explores grief and healing with remarkable sensitivity. Olsen plays a widow navigating life after her husband's sudden death, uncovering secrets about the man she thought she knew. The show earned critical acclaim during its run, boasting a 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It's a thoughtful, honest portrayal of loss that will resonate with anyone who appreciates character-driven storytelling. With a stellar cast that includes Kelly Marie Tran, Jovan Adepo, and Janet McTeer, this is a series that deserves a wider audience.
