There’s a new star at the top of Prime Video’s TV rankings this week: the British mystery series Young Sherlock starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin in the title role. Created by Matthew Parkhill and developed by Peter Harness and Guy Ritchie, the show reimagines Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic detective as an unruly 19-year-old at Oxford, drawing inspiration from Andrew Lane’s Young Sherlock Holmes books. With exceptional talent in front of and behind the camera, Young Sherlock has proven to be a critical and audience hit, but in case that’s not quite what you’re in the mood for, there’s still plenty more great series of all stripes to check out on the streaming service. Here’s a look at three great shows that we think you should binge on Prime Video this week.

1 ‘Expats’ (2024)
If you’re excited about Nicole Kidman’s imminent Prime Video drama Scarpetta, this 2024 miniseries may be perfect for you. Created and directed by Lulu Wang, Expats is an adaptation of Janice Y. K. Lee’s 2016 novel The Expatriates, starring Kidman, Sarayu Blue, and KPop Demon Hunters voice actor Ji-young Yoo as three American expatriate women living in Hong Kong. The series explores their personal lives, both individually and through their connections to each other, in the aftermath of a terrible tragedy. Brian Tee, Tiana Gowen, Bodhi del Rosario, Ruby Ruiz, Amelyn Pardenilla, and Jack Huston star in significant supporting roles.
Expats’ Prime Video premiere was unfortunately overshadowed by controversies that plagued the production, and despite favorable reviews, the show flew mostly under the radar. That’s a shame, really, because the show is a highly underrated drama centered on some truly stellar performances, particularly by its leading trio. Featuring one of Kidman’s best performances to date on the small screen, Expats is easily one of the best shows of the 2020s so far, and a must-watch for fans of challenging, character-driven melodrama.
2 ‘We Were Liars’ (2025–Present)
Developed by Julie Plec and Carina Adly Mackenzie, We Were Liars is a psychological thriller series adapted from E. Lockhart’s 2014 novel. The show stars Emily Alyn Lind as Cadence "Cady" Sinclair Eastman, the eldest grandchild of the old-money Sinclair family, who suffers a mysterious accident that leaves her with memory loss and intense suspicions about the rest of her family. Caitlin FitzGerald, Mamie Gummer, Candice King, Rahul Kohli, Shubham Maheshwari, Esther McGregor, Joseph Zada, and David Morse star in other key roles.
Sometimes compared to the HBO series Succession, We Were Liars explores similar dysfunctional family dynamics, but with a highly dramatic, psychologically complex narrative that draws equal inspiration from shows like Big Little Lies, Pretty Little Liars, and Cruel Summer. Powered by its compelling performances, the series earned largely favorable reviews from critics and very high viewership on Prime Video, where it premiered in 2025. A second season is currently in the works as well, so it’s a good time to get on board this twisted, soapy journey.
3 ‘The Good Place’ (2016–2020)
Created by Michael Schur for NBC, The Good Place is a fantasy comedy starring Kristen Bell as Eleanor Shellstrop, an exceptionally selfish woman from Phoenix, Arizona. When she dies and finds herself in the Heaven-like afterlife known as “the Good Place," Eleanor quickly realizes she’s in the wrong place and sets out to cover up her less-than-perfect life by learning ethics and morality from indecisive professor and fellow Good Place resident, Chidi Anagonye (William Jackson Harper). The show also stars Jameela Jamil, D'Arcy Carden, Manny Jacinto, and Ted Danson in lead roles.
The Good Place is, first and foremost, a hilarious comedy with intelligent storytelling that sets it apart from the usual sitcom fare. As the series develops, it reveals more secrets about the afterlife and introduces several memorable characters, evolving into an unexpectedly twisty and philosophical journey. The show was highly acclaimed throughout its four-season run, earning 14 Primetime Emmy nominations, two Golden Globe nominations, and a Peabody Award.
