After the consistent dominance of the Ryan Gosling-led space epic Project Hail Mary on the Prime Video streaming charts, a new series arrived last weekend that has stolen the top spot in the U.S: the new action-comedy series, Ride or Die. Oscar winner Octavia Spencer and Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham star in a series that has so far earned plenty of positive attention, even being called “an exhilarating ride with plenty of action thrills” in Meredith Loftus’ review for Collider. But what else should you be watching on Prime ahead of the last weekend in July? To help you decide, here’s a look at three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.

Next weekend, all eyes will be on Tom Holland’s return as Peter Parker in *Spider-Man: Brand New Day. *To get you in the mood, why not try one of the best miniseries of the year, which also happens to be set in the Spidey universe? A spin-off of the animated Spider-Verse films (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse), ***Spider-Noir ***stars Oscar winner **Nicolas Cage **as 1930s New York Private Investigator Ben Reilly, who must fight both personal demons and crime in the name of justice.
There are few projects that Cage isn’t simply electric in, with *Spider-Noir *no different. Joined by an impressive ensemble, including the likes of Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, and Brendan Gleeson, and featuring some truly stunning, stylish cinematography, it’s no wonder that *Spider-Noir *has earned critical acclaim, being called “a heck of a lot of fun” by Collider’s Aidan Kelly.
Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.
Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.
One of the most-watched shows this month on streaming is Netflix’s shiny new adaptation of the novels by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House on the Prairie. If you’ve finished your binge-watch of this new Western gem and are inspired to check out the hugely popular first series, then Prime Video has you covered with all nine seasons and 200+ episodes available.
Simple, heartwarming, and hugely nostalgic, this tale of the ups and downs of the Ingalls family in the 19th-century American Midwest might not be as tough and mature in its themes as the original novels, but that suited its die-hard fanbase, who were looking for some comfy, escapist television. Few shows are as relaxing to watch this weekend as Little House on the Prairie.
Instead of watching some of the most popular shows on Prime this weekend, why not unearth a gem lurking in the depths of the streamer’s vast waters and binge all 16 episodes of the 2022 Canadian series The Lake, which follows recently single gay man Justin (Jordan Gavaris), who returns from living abroad and hopes to reconnect with his estranged birth daughter, Billie (Madison Shamoun)?
Featuring some smart comedic performances, clever narrative choices, and emotionally mature drama, *The Lake *is undeniably a success. Based in part on the real-life experiences of series creator Julian Doucet, a sense of truth permeates each episode of The Lake, adding to the immersion and helping you stay glued to your screen for all 16 episodes.
