3 Best Shows to Binge on Prime Video This Weekend (Feb 28-Mar 1)
The fallout of the Fallout Season 2 finale is still hitting some, as the series clings to the top five most-streamed shows on Prime Video in the U.S. Since Fallout came to an explosive end, its place at the top of the charts, albeit facing competition from Beast Games, is the return of Ben Watkins‘ Cross. The detective drama starring Aldis Hodge as the brilliant titular detective from the James Patterson novels has become an enormous hit on the streamer, but with episodes dropping weekly, it still leaves a big hole in the weekend viewing of most subscribers. To try and help you fill your valuable time wisely, here’s a look at three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.

‘The Gray House’ (2026)
Rotten Tomatoes: 50% | IMDb: 6.3/10
One of the hottest new arrivals to Prime Video this week, The Gray House is the perfect way to keep yourself entertained this weekend. Starring Emmy and Golden Globe winner Mary-Louise Parker, the series follows four women who, against the backdrop of the US Civil War, turn their work on the underground railroad into a spy operation set to turn the tide of the war.
“The Gray House is a brutal, unrelenting exploration of the lives of history’s forgotten heroes,” wrote Collider’s Maggie Lovitt in her review of the series, with this historical drama leaving no stone unturned. Boasting eight easy-to-binge episodes, The Gray House features an eye-catching ensemble, headlined by Parker and including Daisy Head, Amethyst Davis, Ben Vereen, Keith David, Paul Anderson, Colin Morgan, Ian Duff, and more.

‘Kingdom’ (2014–2017)
Rotten Tomatoes: 97% | IMDb: 8.5/10
For something gritty, look no further than Kingdom. Perfect for sports fans, the series tells the tale of former MMA fighter turned trainer Alvery Kulina, played by the DCU’s Frank Grillo, who fights to keep his mixed martial arts gym in business whilst also dealing with all manner of personal issues.
Realistic and hugely underrated, Kingdom is the sort of undiscovered gem that is desperate to be unearthed on Prime Video. Having made its way to the platform last year, some have found this 40-episode work of genius featuring one of Grillo’s best performances, and now it’s time for even more to lose themselves in this gripping story.
1
‘Detectorists’ (2014–2022)
Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDb: 8.6/10
Simply one of the best British comedies of the last 15 years, Detectorists follows two eccentric metal detectorists, Andy (Mackenzie Crook) and Lance (Toby Jones), who spend their days bickering and searching for undiscovered treasure. Dreaming of one day unearthing a life-changing fortune, will they ever realize their goal?
A blissfully simple comedy that puts its emphasis on the talent of its stars and the relationship of their characters, Detectorists is the perfect cozy getaway after a tough week of work. A winner of two BAFTA awards, among many other accolades during its run, the series is a true diamond in a sea of forgettable sitcoms and is perhaps the best work in creator Crook’s career.
