These three original Prime Video shows are perfect, every episode from the pilot to the series finale. Prime Video has been pumping out some fantastic original TV shows over the last couple of years. What began with a shaky start has become a healthy library of titles from all genres. Amazon Prime Video originals have all the massive financial power one would expect from a streamer owned by one of the largest companies in the world, meaning that anything it produces looks great. However, we all know money does not equal quality, and there have been more than a few failed series. As the years have gone on, Prime Video's batting average has improved, and things like Solos feel more like outliers than par for the course. Even good shows struggle to maintain quality throughout their entire run, though, which makes these three series special in that every episode is worthy of your attention. The Expanse (2015-2022) One of the greatest sci-fi TV shows ever, The Expanse first premiered on the Syfy network in December 2015 and ran for three seasons there. Then it was canceled, but Amazon quickly picked it up for three more seasons, ending the show with a sixth season in January 2022. The series is set hundreds of years in the future, in a time when humanity has conquered the solar system. Three large powers have sprung out of this colonization and have an uneasy alliance with one another. However, a disparate group of spacefarers discovers a conspiracy that threatens to upend the peace. Like a detective noir mixed with a sci-fi show, The Expanse brilliantly portrays a grounded version of the "humans in the future" storyline we've seen many times before. In The Expanse, humanity still has many of the same problems it always had, though now at a greater scale and with greater stakes. A League Of Their Own (2022) The comedy drama series A League of Their Own is eight episodes of great jokes, exciting storylines, and moving themes about giving people a chance. An adaptation of the 1992 baseball movie of the same name starring Tom Hanks, A League of Their Own is worth watching despite the series being canceled before season 2. Set in 1943, A League of Their Own depicts the formation of the Rockford Peaches, a women's baseball team in the burgeoning All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. It stars Abbi Jacobson as Carson Shaw, a catcher, and Chanté Adams as Max Chapman, a talented pitcher. Both women, along with the rest of their teammates, have been disregarded for one misogynistic, homophobic, or racist reason or another, but on the Rockford Peaches, they find a family and a pathway to the sport they love. It's anachronistic, smart, hilarious, and most importantly, able to stand on its own against the classic movie. Undone (2019-2022) The adult animated series Undone is one of the best sci-fi shows you can find on Amazon Prime Video right now, and a beautiful, fascinating depiction of time travel and coming to terms with who you are. The series premiered in September 2019 with a second season following in April 2022. The 16-episode show begins with a woman named Alma (Rose Salazar) crashing her car in a near-fatal accident. When she awakes, she realizes she has the ability to manipulate and move through time, a power which she uses to learn more about her father's death.
