Amazon Prime Video offers a selection of top-notch shows that are included with your Prime subscription. One standout series is “Bosch,” which is based on Michael Connelly’s LA noir crime novels. Starring Titus Welliver as Detective Harry Bosch, the show takes a gritty and cynical approach to police work without the over-the-top theatrics of other crime dramas. Each of the seven seasons focuses on a different big case, while also exploring Bosch’s personal journey as he investigates the cold case of his mother’s murder. While “Bosch” doesn’t redefine the genre, it provides a well-paced and engaging binge-worthy experience for crime drama enthusiasts.
Another action thriller on Amazon Prime Video is “Reacher,” an adaptation of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novels. Alan Ritchson takes on the role of Reacher, a former military policeman who leads a nomadic life, but always finds himself embroiled in conflicts. The first season revolves around Reacher being wrongly accused of murder, while the second season delves into a wide-reaching conspiracy targeting his former army unit. “Reacher” may have pulpy elements, but it delivers bombastic action and keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
With its extensive library of shows, Amazon Prime Video has become a go-to platform for quality series. While Netflix may churn out more content, Amazon Prime Video offers a curated selection of some of the best shows available. The only drawback is the difficulty in navigating the service’s menus, which can make finding the right series a frustrating experience. However, with shows like “Bosch” and “Reacher” available, it’s worth the effort to explore Amazon Prime Video and discover these hidden gems.
