Louisa Levy’s Off Campus has topped Prime Video’s TV charts again this week, retaining its position as the number one show on the streaming service. An adaptation of Elle Kennedy’s hit book series of the same name, the show follows the story of a music student and a star hockey player who find unexpected romance. The romance drama has been warmly received by critics and fans alike ever since its premiere in May, and it’s been regularly topping the lists ever since. But in case that’s not quite what you’re in the mood for, there are still a lot more options to explore on the platform. Without further ado, here’s a look at three great shows that we think you should binge on Prime Video this week.

1
‘The Girlfriend’ (2025)
A psychological thriller miniseries, The Girlfriend is an adaptation of Michelle Frances‘ 2017 novel, directed by Andrea Harkin and Robin Wright, who also stars in the show as wealthy art gallery owner Laura. After meeting her son Daniel’s (Laurie Davidson) new girlfriend, Cherry (Olivia Cooke), Laura grows suspicious of this newcomer in her life and sets out to discover her secret. Besides the leading trio, the series also stars Waleed Zuaiter, Tanya Moodie, Shalom Brune-Franklin, and more in supporting roles.
The Girlfriend debuted on Prime Video in September 2025 to a positive critical reception and became a hit with audiences as well. A twisty story of love, greed, and complex family dynamics, the series’ plot may be as pulpy as it gets, but it is elevated by the stellar performances. Wright and Cooke’s antagonistic chemistry carries the show through its rougher patches, delivering a soapy, melodramatic thriller that derives maximum tension from the psychological complexities of its characters.

‘Psych’ (2006–2014)
Created by Steve Franks, Psych is a detective comedy-drama series starring James Roday as Shawn Spencer, who claims to be a psychic but actually uses his impressive memory and observational skills to solve crimes. The series follows Shawn on various cases, consulting for the Santa Barbara Police Department with his best friend, Burton “Gus” Guster, and his father, Henry, a former detective. Dulé Hill co-stars as Gus and Corbin Bernsen as Henry, with Timothy Omundson, Maggie Lawson, Kirsten Nelson, and Anne Dudek in key roles.
Psych premiered on USA Network in 2006 with strong ratings and had a successful eight-season run on the network. Paired with the even more popular series Monk for its first three years, the two shows have become a favorite double-feature for fans, with both delivering a comparable mix of humor and mystery. And though the series itself ended in 2014, Psych has since spawned a film series that includes 2017’s Psych: The Movie, 2020’s Psych 2: Lassie Come Home, and 2021’s Psych 3: This Is Gus.

‘Harlan Coben’s Shelter’ (2023)
Developed by Harlan Coben and his daughter, Charlotte Coben, Harlan Coben’s Shelter is a mystery drama series adapted from Coben’s eponymous 2011 novel. The show explores the dark secrets hiding behind the quiet facade of a suburban community in Kasselton, New Jersey, which come to light after the mysterious disappearance of a young girl. The series stars Jaden Michael, Constance Zimmer, Abby Corrigan, and Adrian Greensmith in key roles.
One of the more acclaimed Harlan Coben adaptations of recent years, Shelter premiered to a favorable critical reception in 2023 and became a hit with audiences as well thanks to its engaging, twisty plot. Successfully combining high school drama with a dark, small-town thriller narrative, the series is as addictive as one of Coben’s novels and a highly binge-worthy pick for fans of the genre. The show features numerous twists, a gripping plot, and some great performances, making it a must-watch for fans of Coben’s signature style.
