9 Prime Video Miniseries That Are 10/10 Masterpieces

Prime Video long felt like the streaming middle child, an afterthought between Netflix and HBO. Lately it has begun to win attention with shows such as Reacher, The Boys and Fallout. This roundup focuses on miniseries that land from the first episode, don’t overstay their welcome and act like complete works.

Lulu Wang’s Expats captures the aching loneliness of living somewhere beautiful that was never home, following three women in Hong Kong; Nicole Kidman is extraordinary, but Ji-young Yoo as Mercy is the show-stopper. Russell T Davies and Stephen Frears turned a real political scandal into the three-part A Very English Scandal, where Hugh Grant’s sly performance and Ben Whishaw’s vulnerable Norman create a tragic, darkly comic dynamic.

Dead Ringers reimagines Cronenberg through Rachel Weisz’s dual turn as twin gynecologists, shifting body horror into a feminist psychological drama.
