If the best shows on Prime Video are listed, it has to begin with Fleabag. A black comedy drama starring (and written by the) talented Phoebe Waller-Bridge in the titular role, Fleabag follows a confused and free-spirited woman with anger issues in London who often breaks the fourth wall for monologues and commentary for the audience. While the initial season was amazing, it was the second season that accumulated a cult following when Andrew Scott joined the series starring as the “Hot Priest.” Scott and Bridge had a fiery on-screen chemistry, and this backed with the handling of themes in the series makes it a thrilling watch.

Screenwriter, producer and director Raymond Riley’s creation of an absurdist comedy follows a 13 feet tall black guy Cootie who has decided to enter a society that he does not know when a group of teens extend a hand to help him. A vigilante is on the loose in the area who tries to fix the wrong by using his power over the minor criminals- and his attention has been caught by the gigantic young man.
I’m a Virgo does not use CGI to generate a 13 feet tall man instead the makers cast Jharrel Jerome who himself is 5 feet 8 inches tall and use the old-school camera techniques to produce the required effect. It is as much of a coming-of-age story and is bound to make you laugh.

The Devil’s Hour

Ending the list with those who are a fan of mystery-crime-hour, The Devil’s Hour follows a woman who keeps waking up between 3 am to 4 am and has same nightmares for as long as she can remember.

The British psychological thriller is creepy and ominous but a treat for all those who enjoy these genres.
