5 Best Shows To Watch On Prime Video This Week (June 1-5)

by

Prime Video has some great shows to watch right now! Popular choices include a captivating true crime series, a big-budget superhero adventure, and a beautifully crafted fantasy show. This spring has been excellent for new releases on Prime Video, with the conclusion of The Boys and the continued success of shows like Off Campus and season 2 of Citadel, all of which are performing well globally as we head into June.

Last weekend, popular choices on Prime Video included the latest movie in the Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series, a well-loved action franchise. This week, ScreenRant recommends starting with new seasons of two highly-rated shows, plus a critically acclaimed new comedy that’s especially great to watch during Pride Month.

Death Comes Knocking

Heading into June, “Death Comes Knocking” has consistently been one of the most popular series on Prime Video in the United States. Currently, the first season of this true crime documentary is the #1 most-watched show in its category on the platform. Each of the ten 46-minute episodes focuses on real homicide investigations where evidence came from doorbell cameras or home security footage. It’s become one of the most popular and addictive true crime series available on any streaming service.

Overcompensating

If you’re looking for a great show to watch for Pride Month, check out Overcompensating on Prime Video. The first season received a fantastic 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a second season is already planned! Inspired by classic early 2000s comedies like American Pie, the show follows Benny, a college football player who’s secretly gay, as he starts his freshman year. Created by and starring Benito Skinner, Overcompensating is a quick binge – there are only 8 episodes, each about 32-37 minutes long.

Clarkson’s Farm

This week, Prime Video is launching a new season of the popular show Clarkson’s Farm. Season five begins on Wednesday, June 3rd, with the first four episodes available right away. Each Wednesday, two new episodes will be released, leading up to a two-part finale on June 17th. The show follows Jeremy Clarkson, a well-known British TV presenter, and his family as they navigate the ups and downs of running a large farm in the English countryside. It’s known for being a feel-good show that also realistically portrays the difficulties of farm life.

Spider-Noir

I have to say, Spider-Noir is a total win for Prime Video! It hit #1 worldwide the moment it dropped on Friday, May 29th, and it’s been there ever since. As a huge Spider-Man fan and a lover of those classic film noir vibes, I think it’s one of the most interesting and fresh things to come out in the franchise for a long time. And Nicolas Cage? He’s just phenomenal in it.

Nicolas Cage stars as Ben Reilly, a detective in 1930s New York, who secretly fights crime as The Spider. The show, Spider-Noir, is visually striking and draws you into its world, with a strong cast including Cage, Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Scott MacArthur, and Brendan Gleeson. You can even choose to watch in black and white or color, making Spider-Noir a truly satisfying new series on Prime Video.

The Legend Of Vox Machina

The fourth season of The Legend of Vox Machina begins streaming on Prime Video this week, with three new episodes launching on Wednesday, June 3rd. The series is an action-packed fantasy adventure about a band of unlikely heroes – Vox Machina – who work to protect their world, Exandria.

Inspired by the popular online show Critical Role, which featured professional voice actors playing Dungeons & Dragons, The Legend of Vox Machina is a highly praised series on Prime Video. It’s earned a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes for three seasons in a row, and fans are hoping it continues that success with the release of its fourth season this week.
