Though Reacher Season 4 may have wrapped up, the season finale also coincided with the release of the hit action-crime show’s first spin-off: Neagley, created by Nick Santora and Nicholas Wootton. Starring Maria Stern, who reprises her titular role from the parent show, Neagley has earned great reviews and high viewership, becoming Prime Video’s number one show this week. But in case this new action series isn’t quite what you’re in the mood for right now, there’s still a lot more to check out on the platform. Here’s a look at three great shows that we think you should watch on Prime Video this week.

‘The Good Place’ (2016–2020)
An acclaimed fantasy comedy sitcom created by Michael Schur, The Good Place follows Eleanor Shellstrop, an exceptionally selfish woman from Phoenix, Arizona, whose story begins shortly after her death. Finding herself in the Heaven-like afterlife known as “the Good Place,” Eleanor quickly realizes she doesn’t belong there and sets out to make up for her less-than-perfect personality by learning everything she can about ethics and morality from the chronically indecisive professor Chidi Anagonye. Kristen Bell stars as Eleanor and William Jackson Harper as Chidi, with the ensemble also including Jameela Jamil, D’Arcy Carden, Manny Jacinto, and Ted Danson in other lead roles.
At first glance, The Good Place appears much like other sitcoms, albeit decidedly more hilarious than the average, but as the show progresses, it reveals unexpected depths and intelligent storytelling that elevate it to even greater heights. Arguably one of the greatest philosophical comedies ever to grace television, the series uses the stories of its memorable and endearing characters to ask compelling questions about life, humanity, and what we owe each other. And that’s exactly what has made it such a universally popular hit, with 14 Primetime Emmy nominations, two Golden Globe nominations, and a Peabody Award to its name.
Collider Exclusive · 8 Questions · 2 Minutes Which Superhero Team Should You Join? Avengers · X-Men · Teen Titans · The Boys
Every team is a personality test with a uniform. One saves the world and argues about it the whole way home. One has been fighting for the right to exist since the day it formed. One is still working out who it is while the fighting happens. And one has no powers at all, plus no intention of playing fair. Eight questions decide where you actually belong.
🛡️Avengers(Marvel Studios)
🧬X-Men(Marvel)
🐦Teen Titans(DC)
💊The Boys(Prime Video)
01
What kind of power would you actually want? The power matters less than what you would be willing to do with it.
02
Why join a team at all? Nobody puts on the suit for the reason they say out loud.
03
How do you feel about the people in charge? Every team has a chain of command. Very few of them survive contact.
04
What is your role inside a group? Every roster needs the same handful of people to function.
05
How do you win a fight you should lose? This is the scene the entire film gets built around.
06
What is this work costing you? Nobody does this for free. The bill just arrives differently for everyone.
07
How should the world see your team? Half of this job is public relations, and everybody knows it.
08
The offer arrives. What makes you say yes? Eight questions in, this is the one that decides your team.
Recruitment Is Complete Your Team Is…
Four teams, four completely different reasons to put yourself in danger
for strangers. This is the roster you actually belong on, what they would want from you, and what it
would cost you to stay.
Marvel Studios · The Avengers · Since 2012
The Avengers
You belong where the stakes are largest and the personalities are
loudest. This is a team of people who are all used to being the most important person in the
room, which is exactly why it works and exactly why it keeps nearly falling apart.
The Avengers are not friends who became a team. They are a team that slowly and
reluctantly became friends, and you would recognise every stage of that process.
You can hold your own among big egos without needing to win every exchange, which is the
real entry requirement here.
The arguing is part of the method. This group does its best thinking mid-disagreement,
usually at volume, usually in a very expensive building.
When the sky opens, they are who shows up. You would want to be standing in that line.
Marvel · X-Men · Since 1963
The X-Men
You have never had the luxury of being thanked for this. The
X-Men protect a world that has never once been comfortable with them existing, and something
in you understands exactly why they keep doing it anyway.
This is the only team on the list whose central conflict is not a villain. It is being
wanted gone by the same people they keep saving.
You know what it is to be the outsider in a room and to decide, anyway, that you will
not make yourself smaller so everyone else is comfortable.
The X-Men are the most genuine found family in comics. People arrive with nowhere else
to go and are never once asked to explain themselves.
You would not be joining for the glory. There has never been any.
DC · Teen Titans · Since 1964
The Teen Titans
You do not want colleagues, you want your people. The Titans are
the team where the friendship came first and the world-saving turned up afterwards as an
inconvenient side effect.
Every Titan is somebody’s sidekick who decided to stop being one. That decision, not the
villain of the week, is what the team is actually about.
You would be joining people who are all working themselves out at the same time as you,
which is far less lonely than being the only one.
The Titans lose regularly. Then they eat together and come back better, which is a more
honest model of growing up than any other team here manages.
The tower would be loud, chaotic, and the first place that ever felt like yours.
Prime Video · The Boys · Since 2019
The Boys
You are not asking who to trust. You worked out the answer a
while ago and it was nobody in a cape. This is where you go once you have decided the people
in charge need watching, and that nobody else is going to do it.
The Boys have no powers, no mandate and no funding. What they have is leverage,
patience, and a very high tolerance for consequences.
You are the person in the room who notices the thing everybody else has quietly agreed
not to mention.
This is not a heroic team and it has never pretended otherwise. It is a group of damaged
people doing necessary work in ways nobody would call clean.
You would not sleep well. You would keep going anyway.

‘Invincible’ (2021–Present)
Created by Robert Kirkman and adapted from his Image Comics series, Invincible is an adult-animated series following teenage superhero Mark Grayson. As he learns the ropes of superheroics with the help of his father, Mark discovers that his father has been hiding a dark secret that changes everything. Steven Yeun leads the voice cast as Mark, with J.K. Simmons voicing his father, Nolan Grayson / Omni-Man, and Sandra Oh voicing his mother, Debbie Grayson. Other notable cast members include Gillian Jacobs, Andrew Rannells, Zazie Beetz, and more.
Ever since its premiere in 2021, Invincible has been a critical darling and an audience favorite, earning near-universal praise for its animation, emotional depth, and fascinating narrative. Easily one of the best superhero shows of all time, the series has had four seasons so far, the latest released earlier in 2026, and it has earned perfect reviews and high ratings for all of those seasons. The show has also been renewed for two more seasons, and a prequel special, Invincible: Atom Eve, was released in July 2023.

‘Firefly’ (2002)
The year is 2517, and humanity has left the Earth behind to colonize a new star system, where a devastating civil war has resulted in the establishment of an authoritarian Alliance, leaving the defeated Independents to live out their lives on the relatively lawless fringe worlds. Firefly follows a group of characters, mostly former Independents, as they embark on various adventures aboard the spaceship Serenity, led by Captain Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds. Nathan Fillion leads the ensemble cast as the Captain, with Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, and Ron Glass in key roles.
Created by Joss Whedon, Firefly is a cult-classic Space Western that has been hugely popular with sci-fi fans ever since it first premiered in 2002. Despite being canceled after airing just 11 out of 14 produced episodes, the series earned a reputation as one of the greatest sci-fi shows of all time, and it eventually got to wrap up its storylines in the 2005 sequel movie Serenity. Since then, Firefly has expanded into a multimedia franchise that includes multiple comics, novels, games, and more.
