Amazon Prime is the upcoming streaming platform for films and series. While their platform is often confusing to search, there are a number of great older series worth watching again.
They tend to push their Original series on viewers and while some, like "The Man in the High Castle" are excellent, others are only so-so. Amazon Prime is yet to produce quality original content like Netflix. However, the following are some hit older series worthy of your attention.
'Lost' - Sci-fi/Mystery/Drama
The mysterious and often confusing TV show was a worldwide hit. It features Jack and a whole load of plane passengers crashing on a strange, deserted island. We learn how they manage to survive on the balance of the plane’s food and then start scavenging for fruit, fish, etc. We later learn they are not actually alone on the island.
'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' & 'Angel' - Supernatural series
Another series popular with fans, Amazon Prime will be streaming the collected stories of Buffy the superhero vampire slayer and her friend Angel, a vampire with a soul. There are 12 seasons in all, including 22 episodes each, which will keep you busy for some time!
'The Americans' - Spy drama
With all the talk about Donald Trump and Russia, a rewatch of this series couldn’t be more timely. It features a married couple, Philip and Elizabeth Jennings, living in Washington, DC. Set in the 1980s, the couple are active Russian spies and includes razor-edged espionage along with marital drama. The series received critical acclaim worldwide.
'Homecoming' - Psychological thriller
This eerie and exciting psychological thriller stars Julia Roberts as Heidi, a social worker in a rather shady programme which is supposed to be helping returning military veterans with their re-immersion into society. However, nothing is quite as it seems. The show came from the genius of Sam Esmail of “Mr Robot” fame.
'Outlander' - Time travel drama
This time-travel romance/drama features Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan. Catriona stars as a WWII nurse who suddenly gets sent back in time to 18th-century Scotland. She eventually begins an affair with the Highland warrior, Jamie Fraser. Exciting moments to be had in this series!
