Prime Video top 10 shows — here’s the 3 worth binge-watching this week (August 5-11)

As August draws to a close, it's the perfect time to indulge in some cozy TV viewing while the anticipation of Halloween builds. Prime Video's top 10 shows are on everyone's radar, offering a tempting array of genres to choose from. Three standout series currently dominating the streaming platform are well worth a binge-watch.

At the top of the list is "Ride or Die," an action-comedy series that continues its strong performance in the No. 1 spot. Created by comedian and writer Tessa Coates, the show features a winning combination of Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham as best friends turned international assassins. Their on-screen chemistry and supporting cast, including Bill Nighy, Ed Skrein, Sylvia Hoeks, and Calam Lynch, make for an engaging and thrilling watch.

The story follows Debbie Claybourne, whose life takes a dramatic turn when she discovers her lifelong best friend has been secretly working as an assassin. As they flee across Europe, they must expose a corrupt political conspiracy.

Next up is "Lioness," a military espionage thriller series that recently added its third season to Prime Video. Created by Taylor Sheridan, this show draws inspiration from a real U.S. military undercover program, delivering a relentless pace and intense storyline. Zoe Saldaña stars as senior CIA operative Joe, who leads the agency's covert Lioness program.

When her mission goes awry, she recruits Marine Raider Cruz Manuelos, played by Laysla De Oliveira, for a dangerous undercover assignment. The series explores the impact of dangerous missions on those involved and is currently available for streaming.

Lastly, "Batman: Caped Crusader" rounds out the top three with its animated crime-thriller take on Gotham City. Serving as a spiritual successor to the beloved "Batman: The Animated Series," this series delivers a pulp-noir, 1940s-inspired reimagining of the Dark Knight's early days. Set in a deeply flawed and corrupt Gotham, Batman emerges as a feared urban legend rather than an established superhero.

With season 2 now available, there's no better time to embrace this fresh take on the Dark Knight, voiced by Hamish Linklater as Bruce Wayne/Batman.
