Best Shows To Watch On Prime Video

Every few weeks, Amazon Prime video drops something that forces you to rethink the algorithm, your long overdue watchlist and occasionally your sleep schedule.

Though we love Paatal Lok, The Family Man, The Boys, and the likes of Jack Ryan on the platform, the Esquire India recommendation list is a little different, check it out:

Go Go Squid

Go Go Squid follows a shy, musically gifted coder who falls hard for a cybersecurity legend, pulling her into the electric world of esports competition. Starring Yang Zi and Li Xian, the show pairs adorable chemistry with the high-tension drama of tech rivalries. It’s charming, upbeat, and surprisingly clever about ambition and young love.

The Girlfriend

If you want to watch something that's melodramatic with your partner, this can be added to your shared watchlist.

Fargo

Have recommend Fargo vEach season of the show drops you into a fresh crime story where regular people make catastrophic choices, and fate has a wicked sense of humour.

Sline

Another K-drama to watch Sline is a slow-burn pandemic drama set on a North Sea island where a mysterious virus quietly corrodes social order.

Mumbai Diaries

Mumbai Diaries plunges viewers into the relentless pace of a Mumbai hospital dealing with extraordinary crises—from terror attacks to natural disasters.

It’s urgent, immersive, and deeply affecting.

Gen V

Ted Bundy: Falling For A Killer

Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer reframes the infamous serial killer’s story entirely through the women whose lives he upended, including his partner Elizabeth Kendall and daughter Molly. The docuseries shifts focus away from the mythology around Bundy and toward the trauma and resilience of survivors. It’s chilling, humane, and long overdue.

The Test S3

For cricket fanatics. Nothing more to say.

Khauf

Khauf is a chilling, eight-episode horror-thriller on Amazon Prime Video, created and written by Smita Singh.
