Mystery thrillers are the kind of shows that pull you in, making it easy to binge-watch every episode. They don’t always rely on crime scenes or whodunit plots, instead building suspense through secrets, strange events and stories that keep you guessing until the finale.
Prime Video has a growing collection of series that fit this space, from mind-twisting psychological tales to unsettling mysteries and suspenseful dramas. There’s a mix for every mood, whether you want something eerie, clever, or emotionally gripping.
In this list, we’ve rounded up five of the best mystery thriller shows currently available to stream on Prime Video.
