With Amazon Prime video you can watch almost anything, from ground breaking tv shows, to classic movies. If you don’t have Prime yet, now is definitely the time to start. These are some of the best prime shows on Amazon. You can watch Amazon originals, or watch great breaking originals that are still being released. While you are stuck inside, fill your time with these amazing shows. Now is the best time to catch up on all those shows you say you will watch but never have time for. These tv shows are not only some of the best on Amazon, but also some of the top rated shows everywhere.
Westworld

It is exquisitely written, and all of the plot twists will have you begging for more. Plus season 3 just started.
Riverdale
The main teen drama of the 2010s. If you loved the Archie comics growing up, Riverdale is not the same. It is full of murder, betrayal, and ridiculous drama.

Game of Thrones
We don’t need to list all the reasons why you should watch Game of Thrones. As one of the top rated tv shows of all time, this one sells itself.

Now is also the perfect time to rewatch all the old episodes in preparation for the spin off series that is coming.
Spongebob
Rewatching Spongebob Squarepants is one of the best ways to relive you childhood while you are stuck inside.

You will be laughing until you cry, while revisiting the nostalgia from your youth. Sometimes the solution to your problems is to just watch some Spongebob and have fun.
The Good Place
