Amazon Prime Video has a steady stream of new shows coming out all the time, from last week’s revival of Kids in the Hall to the intense thriller The Wilds that just released its second season. But Amazon also offers access to a library of older content that you might want to delve into, from sitcoms from the ’70s to seasons of recent dramas, comedies, and more. How do you choose what to watch? And, more importantly, how do you know what you can watch without signing up for a secondary subscription service?
That’s where we are here to help with this comprehensive list of not only the best TV shows on Amazon Prime right now, but the best shows that you can access without a secondary subscription. In many cases, you can watch every season of a network show that might be available while in others, you can watch at least the first few. For Amazon Originals, of course, you can dive right in. We have neatly organized everything by genre so you can easily find exactly what you’re in the mood to watch.
