This platform is particularly strong with science fiction movies and TV shows, offering both licensed titles and original productions. Currently, a standout sci-fi film, The Creator, has climbed into Prime Video’s Top 10, and its stunning visuals are better than many big-budget Hollywood releases.
It’s rare for spin-offs to live up to the original show, so if the new ones aren’t huge hits, that wouldn’t be surprising. The original series was incredibly successful – it earned 256 award nominations, won 81 awards, and consistently received a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Matching that level of success is a tall order, like trying to follow in LeBron James’ footsteps as a basketball player. However, anything is possible. Fans are hoping the new shows will be as good as Better Call Saul, and not end up like Suits: LA. Hopefully, the creators won’t overdo it and exhaust the franchise.
I just read that Nick Reiner’s lawyer, Jackson, dropped him as a client right outside the courthouse, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Apparently, Jackson can’t say why he quit the case – something about things being out of his hands. But he did make a very direct statement, and I’m quoting him here because it’s important: ‘Pursuant to the law of California, Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder.’ He wanted that printed, and honestly, as someone who follows these cases closely, that’s a pretty bold thing to say.

Most TV viewers have probably heard of the popular Yellowstone series, its prequels 1883 and 1923, or other shows created by Taylor Sheridan like Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown. Even though Yellowstone finished airing in December 2024, Taylor Sheridan remains a dominant force in television.
Ever since it arrived on Netflix in mid-November, this show has been incredibly popular. Although many expected it to do well, thanks to its clever style and famous actors, nobody predicted it would become one of Netflix’s most-watched series ever, quickly gaining on huge hits like Squid Game, The Queen’s Gambit, and Stranger Things.
Australian actress Chelsea Croft is probably most recognizable to American viewers for her role as Raven in the HBO Max show Titans, which is based on the DC Comics universe. Megan Manheim stars as the lead in Disney’s Zombies movie series, known for being family-friendly.
Since its release, this thoughtful and funny show has gained even more fans through streaming, while also reminding longtime viewers why they love it. As the show approaches its tenth anniversary in 2026, it’s increasingly clear that The Good Place is a truly exceptional comedy for our time.
