10 Prime Video Shows With Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Scores

by

As a film enthusiast, I must admit that Amazon Prime Video has been consistently delivering some remarkable series that have left quite an impact in the world of streaming. What might surprise you is the diverse range of their most celebrated shows, which truly reflect the global reach they’ve established. These top-tier series have played a significant role in helping Prime Video navigate the intense “streaming wars.”

What sets Amazon’s streamer apart is its strategic partnerships with existing TV networks, particularly British ones, which have proven to be incredibly beneficial. Yet, what makes Prime Video stand out is the variety of shows it offers, hailing from different parts of the globe. While you may recognize some, I promise there will be at least one hidden gem waiting for your discovery.

Amazon’s Prime Video has managed to stay competitive amidst the surge of streaming platforms, largely due to its link with Amazon’s additional subscription services. However, it did spark some discontent this year by introducing ads for its standard viewership tier. To be fair, almost every streaming service has stirred up a bit of customer frustration lately. If you’re curious about what shows are keeping Prime Video thriving, the following list might provide some answers. Here are the top 10 highest-rated shows on Rotten Tomatoes.

10) Class of ’07

Starting things off with a chuckle, let’s discuss “Class of ’07”, an Australian apocalyptic survival comedy. This series unfolds at a 10-year reunion for the alumnae of an all-girls high school, which coincides with Australia experiencing a monumental tidal wave, leaving behind only a survivable piece of land – you guessed it, the school’s campus! The survivors must collaborate to make ends meet while reminiscing about old high school conflicts.

9) Troppo

The popular Australian series, “Troppo,” which received assistance from Prime Video during its second season, is a crime-drama. This show is based on Candice Fox’s novel, “Crimson Lake.” It follows the story of a former police officer turned private investigator, who is hired to find a missing man in Australia’s remote wilderness regions. As no news has been released since Season 2 premiered last year, it remains uncertain whether additional seasons will be produced.

8) Clarkson’s Farm

While some streaming platforms are often associated with scripted content, it’s worth noting that Prime Video has found success in the unscripted genre. One example is the documentary series about British journalist Jeremy Clarkson, which follows his life on a farm in the English countryside. Despite not being as popular among viewers as other shows, this series has garnered critical acclaim, with four seasons already released. However, according to Deadline’s report, the upcoming fifth season may be its last.

7) Pataal Lok

Amazon Prime Video has seen success in distributing Indian titles, beginning with the crime thriller “Paatal Lok”. This series is in the Haryanvi language, which may be unfamiliar if you’re not aware, but it’s been highly praised by English-speaking critics and boasts a perfect 100% Tomatometer score that’s hard to dispute.

6) The Legend of Vox Machina

Among the series listed here, “The Legend of Vox Machina” has received significantly more attention on ComicBook than the others. This anime-style series is an adaptation from the first campaign of the “Critical Role” D&D actual-play series, but it’s been refined during the writing process. Currently in its fourth season, the show’s creators have hinted that it may not extend beyond Season 5. Therefore, if you want to be fully prepared for the final act, now would be a great time to start watching.

5) The Family Man

The Family Man is an Indian Hindi-language series that blends elements of spy thrillers, following an ordinary middle-class man who doubles as a secret intelligence operative for a clandestine government agency. After a break since 2021, there’s much to look forward to when the show resumes. The suspenseful finale hinted at the COVID-19 pandemic playing a prominent role in Season 3. Production for the new season started in May of 2024, but no release date has been announced as of now.

4) Fleabag

It’s not surprising at all to find “Fleabag,” which boasts a perfect 100% Fresh rating, on this list. This is even more remarkable given that it received significantly more attention than many other shows here. Originally aired by BBC Three in the UK, “Fleabag” was later distributed internationally by Amazon Prime Video, who also gained the right to brand it in certain regions. Hence, it qualifies for this list.

3) Deadloch

Returning to Australia, the intriguing blend of dark comedy and mystery titled “Deadloch” premiered on Prime Video in 2023, with the eagerly-awaited second season currently being developed. The series revolves around a secluded community where hidden truths surface upon the discovery of a body washed ashore. The story primarily focuses on the peculiar police officers leading the investigation, while allowing an array of vibrant characters to take center stage.

2) Bosch: Legacy

After a while, an American production has finally made it onto this list – here it is: Prime’s police procedural series “Bosch: Legacy” has garnered higher ratings than its predecessor, possibly because it hasn’t been on television as long. This show concluded only recently with its second season, which might have stirred up nostalgia in critics for the story that spanned over a decade as well.

1) The Narrow Road to the Deep North

Currently, a title from this year is dominating Prime Video – “The Narrow Road to the Deep North.” This is an Australian miniseries based on Richard Flanagan’s novel of the same name. The series features Jacob Elordi, Odessa Young, and Ciarán Hinds in a narrative that spans across different time periods, focusing on a soldier during World War II before, during, and after the conflict. With its emotional storyline, it has been making waves since its release a month ago, and I highly recommend watching it if you haven’t yet.
