Hanna is a fun spy show and its third season is starting soon. Excellent main cast and they bring on interesting supporting characters. Not on the level of Homeland, but a higher quality version of Nikita with a much bigger budget.
I wish this show was more known, it's so good and absolutely hilarious.
I didn't like Jack Ryan, but The Americans is fantastic and you should definitely watch it.
Also I second everyone saying Expanse.

The Expanse definitely starts a bit slow, but it's some of the best Sci-Fi I've seen in years. Give it a second chance.
Not sure if it's the same everywhere else, but in the UK we have a load of Rifftrax movies that go on rotation of being free with Prime.

Never heard of Bosch till this. Thanks for this thread and the recs
Based on a quick skim of reviews seem it doesn't get really good till season 2. Ok to skip the first season?

Most people agree that the first season takes a long time to get going. From the end of the season onwards it is an excellent show.
The Expanse is fantastic. First season is good (and better on rewatches), the following seasons are superb. A no-brainer if you love sci-fi.
The Ty and That Guy podcast on The Expanse is very good as well.
Cory seems a fan as well.

If you're in the US, get the credit card. That's most of the value for me. It pays for the annual fee multiple times over. The shows and shipping are just gravy.
I'll consider giving it another chance at some point, thx guys.
Patriot and Fleabag are a must watch.
After that the usual high profile stuff like The Expanse and The Boys
Oh and Bosch, definitely.

The Wailing is arguably the best movie you will watch on Prime. It's horror, but goddamn if it's not a top 3 candidate for film of the decade.
Medieval swords and sandals: Vikings and The Last Kingdom. I would say The Last Kingdom reaches higher highs than Vikings especially. Very much in part to King Alfred's actor.
Sci Fi: The Expanse! Must watch show. S4 is a slight down turn but S5 picks right back up.
R rated Action: The Boys. Just brace yourself for the nihilism!
These are few off the top of my head.

I've seen lots of people already recommend The Expanse, The Boys and Fleabag.
So instead let me recommend The Expanse, The Boys and Fleabag, because you can't recommend them enough.
The Expanse is probably the best series ever and The Boys is top 10.

That's because it started on SyFy, but it very quickly became way too big for the channel.
Season 1 is good and really helps set the tone for the whole series, it also has some stuff that has repercussions through the entire series so I wouldn't skip it.
