Other great shows on Amazon Prime: Patriot One of four prototype shows greenlit by Amazon in their earliest days. It's really hard to pigeonhole this show. It's nominally an espionage show, but that's really just a thin blanket to bury all sorts of darkly hilarious interpersonal drama under. I'm not surprised Patriot didn't catch on (although it did earn a second season), streaming was still fairly new, and it is a deeply odd show - but based on your love of Fleabag and Mrs Maisel, I think you would really enjoy it. + The Man In The High Castle. While officially it is a Philip K Dick sci-fi show, the really odd stuff doesn't really make an appearance until significantly later in the show. The main 'creativity' is the world-building of a USA that is under Nazi and Imperial Japanese control, with a paper-thin no-man's land dividing the two global powers. It's excellent overall, albeit some of the arcs don't land as well as others. Some very dark tones in places, obviously. + ZeroZeroZero Super-tense mini-series (6 episodes?) following a shipment of narcotics across the world, with the interweaving drama of all the various parties involved. + The Expanse - this was originally on Sy-Fy for three seasons, but the nerdmeisters at Amazon obviously liked it enough to buy it when Sy-Fy ran out of money (you can tell it was a very expensive show!). The first season is a bit clunky in hindsight, but it's such a fresh and enthralling take that you probably won't notice until it's over, and by then you are into the deep weeds of the excellent later seasons. + Sneaky Pete I watched this for Giovanni Ribisi, and wasn't disappointed. A conman hides out with the family of his recently-deceased cellmate (i.e. pretending to be the latter). It's really great, not a comedy but still funny with lots and lots of heart across all three seasons. + Avoids: The Boys: It's not that it is bad, in fact the first season is excellent, it's just that I reckon you will likely find it hard to warm a Watch-A-Long audience to. The most recent season felt like a stretch as well. The Terminal List: there might have been a good story in there somewhere...they never came close to finding it. + On my long list: Catastrophe - Sharon Horgan can do no wrong. (Bad Sisters on Apple+ is eight episodes of a brilliantly hilarious mayhem, with one of the best-portrayed villains this century). Comrade Detective - someone else gave an overview, I'm intrigued by the concept.
