Prime Video top 10 shows — here's the 3 I'm binge-watching this weekend
Prime Video's most-watched list is constantly shifting, which makes it a great go-to when you're not sure what to stream next. Whether it's trending newcomers or returning fan favorites, it offers a snapshot of what's currently pulling in viewers.
But just because a show is trending doesn't mean it's a must-watch, especially if your queue is already packed. That's why I've filtered through the noise to highlight the three standout options worth your time this weekend.
While thriller hits like 'We Were Liars,' 'The Better Sister,' and 'Countdown' have had their moment in the spotlight, I'm turning the focus to a few fresher picks.
From a gritty new 'Bosch' spin-off starring Maggie Q, to a comedy drama led by Leighton Meester, plus the return of a beloved summer romance, these are the shows that actually earn a place on your watchlist.
This is based on the Prime Video top 10 U.S shows as of Friday, July 25, 2025.
Best shows in the Prime Video top 10
'Good Cop/Bad Cop'
Prime Video recently added all eight episodes of 'Good Cop/Bad Cop' to its library. Created by John Quaintance and co-produced by The CW and Stan, the show first premiered on the network back in February.
Set in the quirky small town of Eden Vale, 'Good Cop/Bad Cop' follows estranged siblings Lou (Leighton Meester) and Henry Hickman (Luke Cook), forced into a detective partnership by their father, Chief Big Hank (Clancy Brown). Lou, a seasoned, people-savvy detective, contrasts sharply with her socially awkward, hyper-logical brother, making for an odd couple duo solving weekly mysteries while bickering like real family.
So if you're looking for a breezy, character-driven mystery with sibling chemistry and small‑town charm, this comedy drama is now ready to stream on Prime Video.

'Ballard'
Prime Video's latest original is stepping in to fill the void left by 'Bosch,' and longtime fans are here for it.
'Ballard' is a brand-new spinoff that trades Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) for Renée Ballard (Maggie Q), a determined detective first introduced in the 'Bosch: Legacy' season finale earlier this year. Despite just debuting, the series has already climbed to No. 2 on the platform and boasts a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The show follows Ballard as she takes charge of the LAPD's newly formed Cold Case Division — an under-resourced unit made up of volunteers, retirees, and civilians. Tasked with breathing new life into long-forgotten investigations (including a John Doe homicide and the killing of a councilman's sister), Ballard also battles department pushback and the fallout from a recent misconduct scandal.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty'
Prime Video's hit YA romance returns with its third and final season. 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' season 3 kicked off with two episodes, and the story continues with one new installment dropping every Wednesday.
The narrative picks up with Belly (Lola Tung) finishing her junior year and enjoying life with Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) at Finch University, until Conrad (Christopher Briney) unexpectedly reappears, reigniting the central love triangle and forcing Belly to confront her heart's true calling.
Right out of the gate, the show delivers emotional jolts — from Jeremiah's engagement to Belly, to Steven's serious accident and simmering real-world drama fueling the decisions Belly must make. So if you're tuning in for romance, family drama, and emotional growth set against the nostalgic summer backdrop of Cousins Beach, don't miss season 3 of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.'

What Time Does ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3, Episode 5 Come Out?
As we approach Episode 5 of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, we've already seen cheating, a breakup, an engagement and plenty of drama between Belly, Jeremiah, and their families ahead of their wedding. But Episode 5 might break fans entirely, as it's rumored to be Conrad's POV episode — where he takes over the narration from Belly and reveals all his inner thoughts. He's now alone in Cousins with Belly, after she ran away from home and Jeremiah went back to his internship. It also appears that he canceled his flight back to California to stay with her after walking in on her crying. A clue that Episode 5 could be narrated by Conrad appeared at the end of Episode 4. After baking Belly "dirt bombs" for her birthday and giving her a hug, we hear his narration. "What have I done?" he says. "It's cool to steal the voiceover spot for a little while," Christopher Briney told Entertainment Weekly about his upcoming POV episode. 'It's fun to have the insight. It's fun to have exactly what the subtext is. It makes the scene easier, because that's half the work.' Keep reading to find out what time Episode 5 drops, how to watch and what happened in last week's emotional episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty. What Time Does The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, Episode 5 Come Out? The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, Episode 5, premieres on Wednesday, August 6 at 3 a.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT on Prime Video. As a quick refresher, here's the release schedule for the remaining seven episodes in Season 3. How To Watch The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 The Summer I Turned Pretty is exclusively streaming on Prime Video. To watch the latest episode, you'll need an Amazon Prime membership, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year, or a subscription to Prime Video as a standalone service for $8.99 per month. Amazon is currently offering a 30-day free trial of Prime. Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, Episode 4. What Happened In The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, Episode 4? In Season 3, Episode 4 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, it's Belly's birthday, and she's still trying to make the most of the celebration while her parents disapprove of her wedding plans. Jeremiah is not enthusiastic about his summer internship with his dad's company, and the last thing his dad wants to talk about is the wedding. When Belly asks Laurel to go dress shopping with her, she says she can't. She is still firm in her belief that Belly and Jeremiah are too young. Instead, Belly goes dress shopping with Taylor and her mother, Lucinda. Belly finds her dream dress, but the moment is soured by the fact that her mom isn't there. But one of the most intense moments of the episode was an exchange between Laurel, Belly, and Jeremiah at Belly's home. In trying to win over Laurel's approval, Jeremiah says that he wants to be with Belly for the rest of his life and believes his mom would have wanted them all to be a family. However, Laurel responds by saying they'll never truly know what his mother would have wanted. Belly storms out of the house after the fight and runs away to Cousins with Jeremiah. After falling asleep on the couch, she wakes up to see Conrad standing there. Conrad hasn't told them that he got fired from his summer clinic yet, but assures them that he's on his way out. Meanwhile, Belly is planning on staying at the house for the time being, while Jeremiah has to go back to his internship. Jeremiah finally pulls Conrad aside to ask him to be his best man, but his brother didn't give him the answer he was looking for. Conrad tells Jeremiah that when you really think about it, their engagement is "kind of ridiculous.' Jeremiah leaves, and Belly is left to go through her things in her bedroom at Cousins, reminiscing on special moments with Susannah and her mom, like getting her big girl bed and wearing the white debutante dress. The emotions become too much for her, and Belly breaks down and cries into her pillow. Conrad, who is ready to leave to head back to California, overhears her sobs. He appears to change his mind and decides to stay in Cousins — and he also lets Jeremiah know that he'll actually be his best man after all. Belly finds Conrad to thank him for being a good sport. 'For what it's worth, I think it's good. The two of you,' he says to her. 'You obviously make each other really happy.' He also wishes her a happy belated birthday and bakes some 'dirt bombs." When she goes to hug him, for the first time, viewers get to hear what he's thinking. 'What have I done?' his thoughts say. Move over Jeremiah, we're so ready for Conrad's POV! The Summer I Turned Pretty is streaming on Prime Video. Watch the official trailer below.
