In over three years at Collider, senior author Jake has now penned over 2500 articles covering a wide range of TV and film for the resources, lists, utilities, news, and interview teams. Alongside interviewing stars such as Selin Hizli, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Harlan Coben, and Chelsea Peretti, Jake was lucky enough to visit the set of Aardman and Netflix's Wallace and Gromit: A Vengeance Most Fowl in 2024, getting the chance to chat with four-time Academy Award winner Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham. Jake has also worked for other publications, including Agents of Fandom.

Prime Video currently hosts some of the best movies and shows on streaming. This is reflected in the current charts, with the top ten reading like a must-watch list of 2026 favorites. Topping the charts at the time of writing is Young Sherlock, a series based on the young adult thriller novel series Young Sherlock Holmes by Andrew Lane, which shot straight to the streaming summit following its March 4 debut. Featuring the acting talent of Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Natascha McElhone, Joseph Fiennes, and Colin Firth, as well as the veteran instincts of director Guy Ritchie, Young Sherlock's success should come as little surprise.

But just behind Young Sherlock in the charts are a pair of titles vying for second position, with the most recent debutante finally climbing into position #2. Directed by Frank E. Flowers, The Bluff is Prime Video's answer to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, with a swashbuckling epic that has viewers hooked. Featuring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Karl Urban in lead roles, the movie opened to mixed reviews, earning a 57% score from critics on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes; however, its popularity on streaming platforms is undeniable, with it estimated to have earned 300.3 million minutes of viewing so far.

The unfortunate series to lose its second-place spot in the charts, thanks to The Bluff's success, is the Aldis Hodge-led Cross, which debuted its second season last month. After a pulse-racing seventh episode, the series will return on Wednesday, March 18, with the Season 2 finale. As excitement builds for the tense final installment of this thrilling second season, Cross will be hoping to reclaim its position in the Prime Video charts.

What Else Is Popular on Prime Video?

Young Sherlock is unsurprisingly topping the charts, and The Bluff and Cross are proving popular in second and third, but what else is also in vogue on Prime Video? Shadow Force, an action drama written and directed by Joe Carnahan, is bouncing back from box office disaster in 2025 with success on streaming; the video game adaptation Fallout continues its long run in the top ten; and The Wrecking Crew fends off competition to hold steady in the charts.

The Bluff and Cross are available on Prime Video. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.
