If there’s one thing Hollywood loves more than a time loop, it’s if there’s one thing Hollywood loves more than… wait a second. Sorry, we got confused there. But not as confused as Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) was when he took a trip for some PR work and ended up in the middle of an alien invasion. More than a decade after its theatrical release, this time-turning, mind-bending ride is one of the most acclaimed science-fiction action movies of the 2010s, even if its original box office performance never quite reflected its reputation.

Now, there’s another opportunity to revisit it. Edge of Tomorrow officially joined Paramount+ on September 1, giving the $370 million sci-fi epic a new streaming home. Based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s novel All You Need Is Kill, the movie takes place during humanity’s increasingly desperate war against an alien species known as the Mimics. Cruise’s Major William Cage is a military public relations officer with absolutely zero interest in, you know, fighting.

This becomes a problem when Cage is dumped onto the front line. He’s killed almost immediately, only to wake up at the beginning of the previous day. Cage has somehow become trapped in a time loop, forcing him to experience the same catastrophic battle again and again. His only real hope is Emily Blunt’s Sergeant Rita Vrataski, a hardened soldier who’s definitely more clued-up on what the heck is happening to Cage than he is.

The cast features Bill Paxton (Aliens) as Master Sergeant Farell, Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin) as General Brigham, Noah Taylor (Game of Thrones) as Dr. Carter, Kick Gurry (Jupiter Ascending) as Griff, Dragomir Mrsic (Snabba Cash) as Kuntz, and Charlotte Riley (Peaky Blinders) as Nance. The film is directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity).

Was ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ a Success?

Despite the cast, the quality and the timing of release, Edge of Tomorrow didn’t become the enormous theatrical hit Warner Bros. might have anticipated. Its reputation has only improved since, however, with the movie currently holding an excellent 91% critics’ score and 90% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Its combination of large-scale alien warfare, surprisingly funny time-loop mechanics and Cruise and Blunt’s chemistry has helped turn Edge of Tomorrow into a classic. Now, about that sequel?

Edge of Tomorrow is streaming now on Paramount+.

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump have been through a lot this year, spanning court cases and health challenges. However, these issues have reportedly not made a dent in their love life.

The pair have faced serious changes, with the golfer engrossed in the fallout from his car crash in March and successive legal troubles. Vanessa, on the other hand, was going through one of the worst moments of her life with a cancer diagnosis.

Rather than pull the couple apart, the challenging period in their lives has reportedly made them stronger together. Now, a new report claims Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are focusing on marriage.

4

Despite all the issues they have faced this year, Woods and Vanessa seem to be coming out on top. They allegedly have not abandoned their plans to become a married couple.

According to Globe Magazine, the wedding plan is still a “top priority” for them. This report comes more than a year after insiders claimed that the duo was actively moving towards walking down the aisle.

Neither of them has come out to confirm or dispute the claims of their union, leading fans to continually believe that they are definitely already engaging in marriage conversations.

In July 2025, a source close to Vanessa described the couple as “wedding bells serious” and claimed the former model had finally found happiness in her personal life.

Their Difficult Year Reportedly Made The Couple ‘Stronger’

4

These latest speculations about incoming wedding bells come after reports suggested that Woods and Vanessa’s relationship became “Stronger” than ever while navigating personal challenges.

A source close to them revealed to People Magazine that the pair refused to let their personal problems get in the way of their love story. During this difficult time, they allegedly leaned on each other for support and strength.

“Tiger and Vanessa have faced big problems at the same time and have helped the other through it,” the insider said.

Woods and Vanessa first made their relationship public in March 2025 following several months of speculation. The golfer sparked a viral reaction from fans when he shared photos of them enjoying each other’s company, tagging it “love is in the air and life is better with you by my side.”

Following the public declaration of love, things quickly took a downturn for the pair

Vanessa Trump Stood By Tiger Woods During His Court Appearance

4

Vanessa showed the world how committed she was to Woods recently when she accompanied him for a court appearance in Florida.

On September 2, the legendary golfer had to appear at the Martin County Courthouse for a crash he was involved in months prior.

At the end of the day, Woods entered a no-contest plea, and the judge in the case suspended his driver’s license for five years for reckless driving.

The other, more serious DUI charge was totally dropped, and he was ordered to pay some fines.

Photographs from that day confirmed Vanessa’s presence at the courthouse, and a source revealed to People that though she was distraught about the case, she still chose to stand by her man.

Tiger Woods Supported Vanessa Trump Through Her Cancer Diagnosis

4

Vanessa was not the only one who knew what it felt like to have total support from her partner.

A few months back, she disclosed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. This devastating news took her entire fan base by surprise, as they quickly offered their love and support in the comment section.

In the announcement, Vanessa noted that she would remain hopeful for a good outcome and that she has the support of her family and loved ones to lean on.

Woods reportedly became an important part of that support system.

A source close to the Trumps revealed that the golf champion was always there for Vanessa when she needed him. “He has given her a lot of love,” the insider said.

Throughout her health issues, Vanessa remains in the company of her children and loved ones.

Wedding Rumors Have Been Swirling For Over A Year

Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts. pic.twitter.com/ETONf1pUmI

Rumors about an impending wedding are not new when it comes to Vanessa and Woods.

Page Six reported in July 2025 that a person close to Vanessa considered the couple’s “wedding bells serious.” Another source claimed Vanessa was extremely happy with Woods.

Despite these speculations that have gone on for most of the year, neither Woods nor Vanessa has come out to dispute the claims.

However, what is clear is that the lovers are still building a life together and sticking with one another no matter what.

Tyler Cameron is having a rough time pitching potential team names to his Dancing With the Stars professional partner Sharna Burgess.

“Our new team name, guys! Team Shart,” Tyler, 33, announced via Instagram on Thursday, September 3. “You take Sharna and Tyler, you put them together and you’ve got ‘Shart!’”

Sharna, 41, was not exactly enthusiastic about Tyler’s poop-related idea, insisting that Team Shart is “not the name” for their partnership.

“Everyone needs a good shart every once in a while … You get two a year,” Tyler argued. “If you do more than two, it’s criminal.”

“Two a year? What are you, 5?” an incredulous Sharna asked the Bachelor Nation alum. “I would say one is criminal. Sir, at your age, a shart is criminal!”

As Tyler kept up the poop jokes, Sharna jokingly complained about being partnered with “a child” when she already has 4-year-old son Zane at home. (Sharna shares Zane with fiancé Brian Austin Green. He also has four older children from previous relationships with exes Vanessa Marcil and Megan Fox.)

“That’s not our team name,” Sharna declared, before urging fans to pitch better ideas, saying: “We need a team name. I didn’t realize we still did team names. But we need a team name! Let’s think of something that is not poop-related. I have enough of that at home!”

Unfortunately for Sharna, the team name seems to have caught on as Tyler shared his own video announcing “Team Shart” as their nickname on Saturday, September 5, while seemingly passing gas in front of his pro partner. Tyler’s fiancée, Tate Madden, and DWTS pro Mark Ballas even got on board by reposting the icky team name.

Us exclusively reported that Tyler would be part of this year’s Dancing With the Stars celebrity cast in August, before his pairing with Sharna was officially unveiled by ABC on Wednesday, September 2. Sharna is returning to the pro ranks after a five-year absence.

Tyler subsequently revealed on Hulu’s “Get Real” podcast that he nearly earned a dance minor in college — though he insisted his previous experience won’t give him any edge over fellow competitors.

“I was not a great dancer at all. Basically, I got thrown into dance classes because I failed out my first semester of college,” he recalled. “My coach was like, ‘You’re gonna take dance classes to get your GPA up.’”

He went on to say, “It was me and 30 girls. I was like, ‘This is amazing.’ I got to be the Bachelor before I ever went on The Bachelorette, you know? None of the girls paid any interest in me, but I was in there giving maximum effort and giving the worst pirouettes and, like, the worst ballet dances ever.”

Dancing With the Stars is headed back to the ballroom with a star-studded cast for season 35. The complete lineup of celebrity contestants and pro dancers for the milestone season was unveiled during the Wednesday, September 2, episode of Good Morning America. The newly confirmed participants join Ciara Miller, Maura Higgins, Jackson Olson and Guillermo Rodriguez, […]

Tyler also got to show off his dance skills as a contestant on 2022’s competition series The Real Dirty Dancing, where he finished as runner-up to winners Corbin Bleu and Cat Cora.

“I will say, that is like one-fifth of what we’re doing here,” he said of The Real Dirty Dancing. “It was fun and I learned a little bit, but our dances are probably a quarter of what we do for our dances [on DWTS]. That was, like, a two-week show, but this is the real deal.”

Dancing With the Stars premieres with a two-night event on ABC and Disney+ starting Tuesday, September 15, at 8 p.m. ET.

Anya Taylor-Joy burst onto the scene in a spell-binding performance that no one is likely to forget for some time. Robert Eggers’ feature film debut, The Witch, showcased the performer’s talents, and she instantly rose to the top. Roles in Furiosa and Dune: Part Two have defined her career thus far, but there may be one movie that passed viewers by. In 2017, Taylor-Joy co-starred with House of the Dragon’s own Olivia Cooke in a crime thriller unlike anything else.

Throughbreds was a directorial first for Cory Finley and is utterly unique. Many creatives have attempted to pull off psychopathic teenage girls in the past, but this attempt was startling and extremely specific. The characters in the mystery aren’t caricatures but fleshed-out people who just happen to be in an extremely heightened story.

‘Thoroughbreds’ Captures the Viciousness of Teenage Girlhood

Cory Finley is one of the rare male directors who writes female characters who are complex and believable. Only comparable to Ari Aster’s depiction of Dani Arbor (Florence Pugh) in Midsommar. Finley also portrays women not just as set pieces or vehicles for plot, but in their complex and sometimes terrible glory. Thoroughbreds’ entire concept depends on how difficult these girls are, and it pulls it off spectacularly.

The narrative is a thrilling mystery about two teenage girls in the upper-class of suburban Connecticut. Lily (Anya Taylor-Joy) is a popular student who agrees to tutor an outcast, Amanda (Olivia Cooke). Because of a mental disorder, Amanda has no emotions, but she and Lily find common ground and form a tight bond. When Amanda suggests they kill Lily’s abusive stepfather, Mark (Paul Sparks), the affluent girl is disturbed, but it doesn’t take long for her to come around to her line of thinking.

Mark enrolls Lily in a boarding school for girls with behavioral issues, putting a ticking clock on the plan. The tight, 93-minute film wastes no time in establishing the stakes for these characters and showing the unbreakable and sometimes inscrutable bond between teenage girls. Unlike similar dark fare such as Heathers, which leans more into comedic territory, Thoroughbreds relishes the darkness of female friendships. This bond leads up to an ending that has to be seen to be believed.

The story embraces the darkness and, in some ways, celebrates it as a form of love attachment. Lily and Amanda show each other their affection by extremely violent acts. Even though Amanda allegedly has no emotions, she clearly has some sort of loyalty to Lily. She sacrifices everything to prove herself to the other girl in perhaps the only form of genuine attachment she has ever had. These deep character facets are fascinating and only appear in other fare featuring darkly motivated women, such as Amy Elliott-Dunne in Gone Girl.

Thoroughbreds refuses to judge its characters in a way that is refreshing in this day and age. Male-written stories such as The Last of Us are so afraid of showing that women are irredeemable monsters that it is breathtaking when someone pulls the trigger on such a story. Thoroughbreds is one of the best mysteries out there, not just because of the narrative, but also because of the colorful characters that populate the story.

Anime is more popular than it has ever been, and viewers will also say it is better than it ever was before. Series like Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End and Jujutsu Kaisen have made anime a worldwide sensation, pushing the bounds of creativity. The animation is impeccable, and the direction is incredible, but is this the best of the best, or can some classics still hang with the newer series despite modern tastes and technological improvement?

Even though modern anime is popular, it misses a lot of what was good about the originals, which is why this list will feature eight classic anime series that are still better than most new series. Based on aspects such as staying power, writing, animation, influence, rewatchability, fan opinion, critical acclaim, and overall quality, these anime shows weren’t just good for their time; they are ageless masterpieces that put modern anime in their place. For an anime to be considered a classic on this list, it had to have come out anytime before the 2010s.

8

‘Maison Ikkoku’ (1986–1988)

Image via Studio Deen

One of the best anime genres is romance, and while it has evolved quite a bit, there is nothing better than a classic love story, and that is exactly what Maison Ikkoku delivers. The titular boarding house is home to many eccentric characters, and at his limit with their shenanigans, Yuusaku is about to move out. However, after meeting the new manager, he falls madly in love, now deciding to stay there a bit longer.

A lot of romance anime either takes things too slow with no meaningful change or tries to rush things, and while Maison Ikkoku is a slow burn, it also acts as a wholesome and realistic slice-of-life anime. It isn’t just a fluffy love story; it captures the bittersweet realities of life and relationships with a mature focus. Maison Ikkoku isn’t a high school romance; it is a sophisticated and compelling romance that is better than most newer love stories.

7

‘Bleach’ (2004–Present)

The Big Three are some of the most popular anime series of all time, and while the other two are just as popular, this list has opted to feature Bleach because of its modern-day resurgence. Ichigo is a normal high schooler, except for the fact that he can talk to ghosts. When he meets a Soul Reaper and borrows her powers, he is thrust into the world of the supernatural where he must protect his friends and town from new dangers.

Even decades after its peak popularity, when Bleach returned, it became one of the best modern anime shows, proving the classic is better than most new series. With one of the best anime power systems, this series instantly hooked viewers, showcasing the rule of cool and unmatched style it possesses. Bleach is also an influential anime in the modern landscape, proving its importance while remaining better than everything it inspired.

6

‘Great Teacher Onizuka’ (1999–2000)

Image via Pierrot

Comedy changes every decade, maybe even every year, meaning it is hard for some shows to age well after some things become offensive or just not funny. However, Great Teacher Onizuka transcends time, not losing a step. The titular teacher is starting his first gig, but he is thrown to the wolves, with a classroom full of manipulative brats. Luckily, his days as a yakuza might be exactly what is needed to straighten these kids out.

Some aspects of Great Teacher Onizuka definitely didn’t age well, but the fact remains that no other anime series balances its tone of comedic genius, silliness, and maturity as well as this show. This anime touches on serious topics such as bullying and suicide with nuance, genuinely providing profound discussion then quickly shifting to ridiculous humor, in a good way. Great Teacher Onizuka is one of a kind, and an anime that no modern-day comedy can match.

5

‘Cowboy Bebop’ (1998–1999)

Image via Sunrise

There are some classic anime that are simply better than modern shows, and then there are some which have been impossible to try and replicate: Cowboy Bebop falls into the latter. Spike Spiegel and his team of bounty hunters spend their days cleaning up the galaxy of crime filth, but when his dark past resurfaces, he must tackle it head-on or risk putting himself and his friends in danger.

Cowboy Bebop is a distinct anime that blends neo-noir with sci-fi, Hong Kong action, and jazz music, creating one of the most unique anime of all time. It is a timeless recipe that no modern series has found the secret formula for, making it a truly special show. Some modern anime have perfect episodes, but every single episode of Cowboy Bebop is an art form in its purest form, concluding with one of the best finales ever put to screen.

4

‘Monster’ (2004–2005)

Naoki Urasawa is a prolific manga author, and while he has a handful of anime adaptations, one classic masterpiece is a landmark of the medium. Monster follows Dr. Tenma, who saves the life of a child, only for that same kid to become a serial killer in the future. Taking matters into his own hands, Tenma plans to kill Johan, but will he be able to do it after learning about his dark and tragic past?

Monster is a perfect anime thriller, embodying everything great about the genre and then some, making it a blueprint that modern anime try to follow. However, no matter what new thriller or mystery anime comes out, it is never better than Monster, and that is because of its patient storytelling. Nothing can live up to the tension and shocking plot of this anime, especially modern anime that focus on flashy animation and overly dramatic storytelling.

3

‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’ (1995–1996)

The modern anime landscape often ignores avant-garde series, and for that reason, the most popular of the genre, Neon Genesis Evangelion, is better than any new show. With the world facing its third apocalypse event, the only hope for humanity is Shinji and some other teenagers in mechs. However, he first needs to win a battle against himself and his inner demons before fighting the angel-like aliens that wish to destroy Earth.

A lot of modern anime don’t dare to spice things up and be innovative, and that is why anime original masterpieces like Neon Genesis Evangelion still thrive. Its imaginative and unique narrative redefined multiple genres and forms of storytelling, cementing a historic legacy that new series can’t even comprehend. Neon Genesis Evangelion had such flawless animation for its time, with a perfect hand-drawn style that newer animation simply can’t compete with.

2

‘Ashita no Joe’ (1970–1981)

A classic can be subjective, because many of the anime on this list are from the 2000s, which some might still consider new, but the oldest series featured, from the 1970s, is undoubtedly a classic. Ashita no Joe is about the titular character, who starts as nothing but a street punk. However, when a former boxer notices his potential, he trains him for the ring; first, Joe needs to serve his time in prison before he conquers any ring.

The animation is definitely old and won’t resonate with some viewers, but the story is one of the best and still unique for the sports genre. Ashita no Joe is somehow a distinct story despite being over fifty years old. Mature, grounded, intriguing, and tragic don’t begin to describe this golden-era boxing story that features some of the best character development in the medium. Ashita no Joe still packs a punch for an old fighter, but its knockout story and chilling vibe are enough to beat any new sports anime.

Some probably don’t classify it as a classic anime, but considering Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood came out in the 2000s, albeit in 2009, it is eligible for this list. Ed and Al lose parts or all of their bodies in a taboo alchemical experiment, prompting them to go on an adventure to find the philosopher’s stone. However, all they uncover is a government conspiracy that threatens to consume the world if they don’t intervene.

Many viewers claim Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the best anime series of all time, and with a title like that, it is almost impossible for new shows to compete. Barely any modern anime has a self-contained story that perfectly wraps up. Even older shows don’t have this, proving how rare Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is. It has everything anyone could ever want in an anime, and that fact alone is why no new series could ever live up to what this anime built.

Over the past couple of decades, it’s been rare for a superhero title to not dominate headlines. However, it’s been some time since a superhero film quite stole the spotlight as fervently as Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which took just 17 days to cross the $2 billion mark at the global box office, the second-fastest time in cinema history. With countless other records broken by the so-called “best Spidey adventure in 20 years,” it’s worth remembering that there is still the small matter of Avengers: Doomsday, which some are predicting will perform even better.

But it isn’t just the big screen where superhero series are dominating. Already this year, the likes of Spider-Noir, a live-action series serving as a spin-off to the animated Spider-Verse films, and the fifth and final season of Eric Kripke‘s acclaimed superhero satire The Boys have proven huge hits. Now, the latest superhero series to dominate streaming is HBO’s Lanterns, part of the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, with millions tuning in to witness the gritty tale of superhero Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and new recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre).

Created by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, the series is considered the superhero version of True Detective and is earning plenty of praise from both fans and critics. For Collider, Michael John Petty awarded the series an 8/10, with ScreenRant‘s Felipe Rangel saying, “James Gunn’s DCU enters its brightest day.” Lanterns has now been the most-watched show on HBO Max in the U.S. for over two weeks, as well as currently holding the #1 position on the global charts. But Chandler’s isn’t the only Green Lantern currently proving a streaming hit.

Another ‘Green Lantern’ Is an HBO Max Hit

Resurrected by the popularity of Lanterns, Ryan Reynolds‘ infamous performance as Hal Jordan in the 2011 film Green Lantern is currently the eighth most-watched movie on HBO Max in the U.S. The film was panned by critics and DC fans alike, receiving some of the worst reviews in the franchise’s history. It also flopped at the box office, only just returning its $200 million budget with a global haul of $219 million.

Both Lanterns and Green Lantern are streaming on HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

Gwen Stefani is mourning her and husband Blake Shelton’s 18-year-old dog Betty.

“It’s with the heaviest hearts that we share our sweet betty has gone to heaven 💔🕊️🐾 she made us all smile for 18 years,” the No Doubt singer, 56, announced via Instagram on Saturday, September 5.

The post included a musical montage featuring some of the Rottweiler mix’s sweetest moments with Shelton, 50, Stefani and her children Zuma, Apollo and Kingston. The clip was set to the couple’s duet “Nobody But You” — as Betty memorably had a cameo in the music video.

“[Betty] made us all smile for 18 years… we’re going to miss her forever. Thank u betty for all the love + joy u brought into our lives,” Stefani added.

Many of the singer’s fans offered condolences and sent words of encouragement in the Instagram post’s comment section.

“Omg Im so sorry to hear about Betty…it’s hard losing a pet. Wow 18 years..she lived her best years! My prayers are with y’all. Love y’all. ❤️Thanks for sharing this with us,” one follower wrote.

Another fan shared their own story of losing a pet, writing, “My heart breaks for you. I recently went through this with my girl of 13 years. Thinking of you and sending prayers.”

“We all feel like we know Betty from all the videos and pictures. What a great family, dog and friend that Betty was. Till you all meet again RIP Betty,” a third follower replied.

Betty was originally Shelton’s dog before he got together with fellow Voice coach Stefani. Speaking to CMT in 2020, the “Let Him in Anyway” singer revealed that Betty quickly took a liking to Stefani.

“She gets jealous,” Shelton said of his pup. “She’s Gwen’s dog now, and so that’s where the jealousy comes in.”

Stefani corrected him, saying, “She loves both of her parents very much.”

The pair are also parents to mixed-breed dog Ginger and a rescue cat named Corn Shelton. In 2024, Stefani revealed via Instagram that she and Shelton adopted the cat after it showed up on their property.

Thank You!

“The day he showed up to our home, he was hardly alive + so sick,” Stefani explained in a video at the time. “But with a lot of love + nurturing, he became a healthy kitten.”

She added, “We’re so grateful that he’s a part of our family.”

Stefani and Shelton tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at his Oklahoma ranch in July 2021. (Stefani was previously married to Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale from 2002 to 2016. Shelton was with his first ex-wife, Kaynette Gern, from 2003 to 2006 and later was married to fellow country music superstar Miranda Lambert from 2011 to 2015.)

The beauty of TV and movies is that there is a genre for everyone, from those who prefer sidesplitting comedies to exhilarating action-packed stories. Luckily, there are plenty of streaming platforms to choose from, and Prime Video is one of the best, with staple series such as The Boys and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. However, some fans prefer a little more excitement, suspense, and tension, which means the thriller genre is perfect for them, and Prime Video is ripe with must-watch thrillers.

Everyone loves a good thriller to raise the heart rate and deliver unpredictable thrills, whether that be through action, mystery, tension, or comedy. Prime Video boasts a plethora of excellent, thrilling series, which is why this list highlights the best of them, all of which are 10/10. Each entry will be based on its writing, story, acting, fan opinion, critical acclaim, tension, thrilling moments, and overall quality.

‘The Terminal List’ (2022–Present)

Image via Prime Video

The Terminal List was an unexpected delight, and quickly became a fan-favorite thriller series on Prime Video. Navy SEAL James Reece (Chris Pratt) returns home thinking the worst is behind him. Little does he know that the dark forces are following him home, threatening him and his family. As fans still wait for the second season, they can at least enjoy the prequel series, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, which aired in July 2025.

The critics and fans have drastically different opinions on The Terminal List, as highlighted by the critics’ score (41%) and fan score (94%) on Rotten Tomatoes. While not everyone could agree, it makes the list nonetheless, even if it takes the last spot. This isn’t the most original show, but the action and thrilling aspects are more than enough to get any fan invested in this series. The Terminal List is brutal, epic, and cold-blooded, making for an instant thrilling ride.

‘Cross’ (2024–Present)

Image via Prime Video

Everyone enjoys a good crime thriller from time to time, meaning Cross should be next on everyone’s watchlist, especially since the thrills don’t stop, with the studio announcing a second season to premiere early 2026. Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge) is a forensic psychologist and homicide detective, pursuing America’s most dangerous killers. However, nothing is predictable in this line of work, as he and his partner must protect themselves and their families.

Cross is burdened with more than a few clichés, but besides that, it is a 10/10 high-octane crime thriller that doesn’t need any other feedback. This is a career-defining role for Hodge, who delivers a badass and charismatic performance, making every part of the show better. From its well-paced plot to twists and turns, to major moments, this is a superb thriller series that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Cross Season 2 debuted earlier this year.

‘The Devil’s Hour’ (2022–Present)

Not every show on this list is a well-known masterpiece; others are overlooked 10/10 series, such as The Devil’s Hour. This British drama series follows Lucy Chambers (Jessica Raine), a social worker who wakes up every night at 3:33 AM, which is known as the devil’s hour. From her terrifying visions to her emotionless son, delusional mother, and haunted house, Lucy is inexplicably connected to a string of murders that she must help solve.

Thrillers come in many shapes and sizes, including action, comedy, drama, espionage, and supernatural. However, mystery thrillers embody the genre the best, enhancing the drama, tension, and suspense to make sure it raises the viewers’ heart rate. The Devil’s Hour is one of the most thrilling shows on Prime Video, using its unpredictable plot and gripping mystery to create an uneasy and captivating experience.

‘Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan’ (2018–2023)

Prime Video loves its action thrillers, as evidenced by the multiple entries on this list, starting off with Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. The Jack Ryan film franchise had its ups and downs, but decades later, the television series proved the series just needed a revamp. Former US Marine, now rookie CIA analyst, Jack Ryan (John Krasinski), is thrust into a new assignment where he uncovers a new type of terrorism that can sway the balance of peace.

Krasinski proves he is an action star in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, expanding outside of comedies and horrors to deliver a truly remarkable and thrilling performance. Not many shows set such a high bar of excellence when it comes to quality espionage drama and thrills, but Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is non-stop tension. It masterfully blends drama with suspenseful fights and intriguing mystery to create a must-watch thriller on Prime Video.

‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ (2024–Present)

Everyone remembers the classic action romance comedy starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but fast-forward a couple of decades, and Prime Video rebooted the franchise starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine. Two strangers have given up their identities to join a top-secret assassination organization, and now must live as married assassins who go on missions together. However, the hard part isn’t the life-threatening missions.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith took a fun movie and concept and made it one of the best modern thrillers on Prime Video, but unfortunately, the chance for a second season is looking increasingly unlikely. Regardless, the first season has enough drama and excitement. Glover and Erskine’s chemistry is to die for, masterfully creating comedic, dramatic, emotional, and action-packed performances that enhance the thrilling aspect of the incredible series.

‘Reacher’ (2022–Present)

Alan Ritchson has quickly become a household name thanks to his increased spotlight in action films and series. While he is in the running for many superhero roles, it isn’t likely that anything will top his performance in Reacher. Ritchson stars as the titular Jack Reacher, a retired police officer who finds himself in the middle of a dark conspiracy involving businessmen, politicians, and dirty cops after he is arrested for a murder he didn’t commit.

Reacher is Ritchson’s best work by far, as he embodies the overwhelming hulking presence of the character with grace, nuance, and excitement. The action is brutal and satisfying, using its relentless fight scenes and exhilarating moments to create a binge-worthy thriller masterpiece. However, Reacher isn’t just about the action; the suspense and storytelling are also phenomenal, making this a staple of Prime Video. It is no “reach” to say that this is the best action thriller on Prime Video.

‘The Night Manager’ (2016–Present)

2016 saw the release of one of Prime Video’s best thriller series ever, The Night Manager, which unfortunately didn’t make it past one season. However, nearly a decade later, Prime Video brought the series back for both a second and third season; Season 2 debuted earlier this year. It follows Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), a night manager at a luxury hotel, who must infiltrate an arms dealer.

There are plenty of highlights from The Night Manager, including its captivating premise and engrossing plot, but the performances from every actor are the best part. Hiddleston, in particular, is in his bag, helping this tightly paced espionage thriller hit every corner. The Night Manager is a hidden gem on Prime Video, and well worth it for any curious fans.

‘Bosch’ (2014–2021)

Prime Video has a few thriller staples, including Reacher and The Night Manager, but Bosch is by far the best and most iconic, and fans can tell that simply based on the number of spin-offs. The titular detective, Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), was a former special forces officer, but now faces challenges every day in his endless pursuit of truth.

With seven seasons of pure perfection and multiple spin-offs, fans have plenty of Bosch to go around, but by the end, they wish there were more. This show is a mastery of mystery and suspense, two key defining aspects of thrillers that Bosch perfects. Fans can’t get enough of the crime-fueled masterpieces with plenty of unpredictable moments, plot twists, and magnificent acting. Bosch is the defining face of Prime Video and crime thrillers.
