This week, Tessa Coates’s action-comedy Ride or Die continues its dominance at the top of Prime Video’s TV rankings. Starring Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham, the series takes viewers on a fun, action-packed journey. It follows two best friends who are forced to go on the run when one of them is revealed to be an international assassin. The show has been wildly popular with subscribers ever since it first premiered in July, but in case that’s not quite what you’re in the mood for, there’s still a lot more to explore on the platform. Here’s a look at three great shows that we think you should binge on Prime Video this week.
Inspired by the 2006 teen comedy-drama film Stick It, Make It or Break It is a teen drama series created by Holly Sorensen that follows the lives of gymnasts aspiring to compete in the 2012 Olympic Games. Ayla Kell, Josie Loren, Cassie Scerbo, and Chelsea Hobbs star as elite-level gymnasts training at a gym called “The Rock” whose lives take an unexpected turn when their head coach is blackmailed into moving to a rival gym. Candace Cameron Bure, Neil Jackson, Anthony Starke, Peri Gilpin, Susan Ward, Johnny Pacar, and Dondré Whitfield star in other main cast roles.
With its combination of likable characters, classic TV drama, and thrilling gymnastics displays, Make It or Break It was a hit with both critics and audiences during its original broadcast on ABC Family. The series aired for three seasons in total, with the third and final season wrapping up just ahead of the real-life Olympics. An engaging sports drama series with winning performances, the show may not be quite as widely known these days, but it’s certainly worth a watch, and it also earned several accolades in its day.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…

Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Rambo
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.

James Bond
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.

Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.
John McClane

Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Ethan Hunt
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

‘Good Omens’ (2019–2026)
Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Good Omens is a fantasy comedy series that explores the millennia-spanning relationship between mild-mannered angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and his demon counterpart, Crowley (David Tennant). The first season follows the two unlikely friends as they try to find the Antichrist and prevent the end of the world. The second season, which goes beyond the original novel, follows the duo’s attempts to protect an amnesiac Archangel Gabriel (John Hamm) from both Heaven and Hell, culminating in the extended finale that is Season 3.
Praised by critics and fans, Good Omens is a brilliant book adaptation that successfully captures both the intelligence and ridiculousness of its source material. The series has earned high acclaim for its performances, art, faithfulness to the novel, and musical score, which earned composer David Arnold two Primetime Emmy Award nominations. Anchored by Sheen and Tennant’s odd-couple chemistry and perfect comedic timing, the show unfolds a fascinating combination of religious and philosophical themes, irreverent humor, and fantastical visuals, delivering laughs and heartwarming moments in equal measure.

‘Scarpetta’ (2026–Present)
Adapted from Patricia Cornwell‘s best-selling crime novels featuring the titular forensic pathologist, Scarpetta is a crime thriller series developed by Liz Sarnoff that stars Nicole Kidman as Kay Scarpetta. The show follows the brilliant medical examiner as she employs advanced forensic technology to solve a crime that ties back to her past. The series also stars Bobby Cannavale, Jamie Lee Curtis, Simon Baker, and Ariana DeBose in main roles.
A well-crafted crime procedural that avoids the usual genre tropes, Scarpetta is essentially a prestige psychological thriller that blends complex criminal investigations with heavy personal drama. Anchored by the stellar performances, particularly those by Kidman, Lee Curtis, and Cannavale, it’s a compelling show that keeps you hooked with its strong writing and atmospheric settings. Though the critical reception has been somewhat mixed, the show has proven quite popular with audiences, and a second season is currently in the pipeline.
