Fans of high-octane action can look forward to a brand-new crime thriller led by a beloved TV favourite, while faith-based audiences will be drawn to the emotional retelling of Jesus’ final days in the latest season of a global phenomenon.

From quiet betrayals to explosive showdowns, this week’s releases span genres but all share one thing in common: they’re built to binge. One show in particular is already being hailed as a “masterpiece” by critics — and once you see it, you’ll understand why. Here are the top 5 shows you don’t want to miss on Prime Video this week.

From Chicago Fire co-creator Derek Haas comes Countdown, a high-stakes action thriller that feels like 24 meets The Fugitive.

At the centre is Jensen Ackles as LAPD detective Mark Meachum, a no-nonsense cop drafted onto a covert multi-agency task force after a Homeland Security officer is assassinated in broad daylight.

What begins as a murder investigation quickly unravels into a massive conspiracy that could endanger millions.

Ackles is right at home in this adrenaline-soaked world—serving up his signature charm and one-liners between shootouts and car chases.

But it’s not just a one-man show. Eric Dane (Euphoria) adds grit, and Jessica Camacho, Violett Beane, and Uli Latukefu round out a powerhouse cast.

Packed with action, plot twists, and a ticking-clock urgency, Countdown is the perfect summer binge for fans of slick, smart crime dramas.

K-drama fans, get ready to swoon.Head Over Heels blends heartfelt romance with a supernatural twist, as Seong-a uses her hidden powers to try and save the boy she’s falling for—before it’s too late.

Based on the popular webtoon by An Soo-Min, the story follows Park Seong-a (Cho Yi-hyun), a seemingly ordinary student who moonlights as a powerful shamaness.

When Seong-a crosses paths with mysterious new transfer student Bae Gyeon-woo (Choo Young-woo), she sees something terrifying: he appears upside down in her vision, a spiritual sign that his death is imminent.

But instead of running, she falls—head over heels—and vows to save his life no matter the cost.

Beautifully shot and emotionally rich, Head Over Heels offers a fresh take on young love laced with fate and the supernatural.

If you loved Goblin or Extraordinary You, this one should be next on your watchlist.

Adapted from E. Lockhart’s bestselling YA novel, We Were Liars brings to life a gripping story of wealth, trauma, and betrayal set against the backdrop of a seemingly perfect private island.

Cadence Sinclair (Emily Alyn Lind) returns to her family’s luxurious estate on Beechwood Island two years after a mysterious accident left her with memory loss.

It’s her 17th birthday, and she’s determined to uncover what really happened during that fateful summer.

Dubbed “The Liars,” Cadence and her group of close friends share more than just secrets—they share a dark truth that unravels slowly over the season’s episodes.

The Sinclair family, described as “American royalty,” are rich, beautiful, and deeply fractured beneath their pristine façade.

The show’s journey to screen has been a rollercoaster, abandoned by Netflix before Amazon picked it up and greenlit it for a full series.

Now, after years of anticipation, this chilling slow-burn mystery is finally here—and it’s one you won’t want to binge alone.

Season 5 of The Chosen: Last Supper, dives into the final and most emotionally charged days of Jesus’ life—culminating in the iconic Last Supper.

With its trademark blend of intimacy and drama, the series explores the growing tensions between Jesus, his disciples, and the religious and political figures determined to bring him down.

Jonathan Roumie returns in the role of Jesus, delivering a stellar performance.

Key biblical moments such as Jesus’ entrance into the temple, the flipping of the money changers’ tables, and his final meal with the disciples are given rich context that elevates this beyond standard faith-based fare.

Structured with a cinematic rollout—first in theatres, then on Prime Video—the season blends spiritual storytelling with big-screen ambition.

Whether you’re a fan of the series or discovering it for the first time, The Chosen: Last Supper offers a deeply affecting look at sacrifice, betrayal, and unwavering faith.

Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is not just another vampire film—it’s a haunting, visually stunning reimagining of one of cinema’s most iconic monsters.

Nearly a century after the original silent German classic terrified audiences, this bold retelling injects new life (or death) into the genre.

Bill Skarsgård delivers a career-defining performance as Count Orlok, a grotesque, towering predator whose menace is palpable.

Unlike the seductive vampires of modern lore, Orlok is a monster in every sense—his pursuit of Lily-Rose Depp’s Ellen is eerie, obsessive, and deeply unsettling.

Eggers leans into gothic horror with unmatched atmosphere, creating a version of Nosferatu that’s faithful to its roots yet refreshingly original.

From the shadow-drenched castles to the hypnotic score, this is horror at its most artful.

Critics are calling it a “masterpiece” for good reason—Nosferatu a must-watch horror.
