Top 5 Must-Watch Prime Video Shows This Week: February 2–6, 2026

by

Prime Video is home to popular shows like Beast Games, Steal, and The Night Manager, but it also has some lesser-known series that are well worth watching this week, February 2nd through 6th, 2026.

Besides Prime Video, Ebaster has handpicked top shows to watch this week on Netflix, Paramount+, HBO Max, Apple TV, and Peacock. You’ll find a great mix of classic TV favorites and the latest popular series, all available through Prime Video.

Friday Night Lights

Still a fantastic watch, Friday Night Lights is a heartwarming series you can stream on Prime Video. It’s famous for its memorable characters, compelling story, and realistic dialogue, and few high school sports dramas compare to it.

Based on the 2004 film of the same name starring Billy Bob Thornton, the TV series Friday Night Lights featured Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, and helped launch the careers of actors like Taylor Kitsch, Jesse Plemons, and Michael B. Jordan. With 76 episodes, it’s perfect for watching over a month.

Bates Motel

During the 2010s, Bates Motel became popular online as a prequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s classic horror film, Psycho. The show featured Freddie Highmore as the unsettling Norman Bates and Vera Farmiga as his well-known mother, Norma.

As a huge fan of psychological thrillers, I really appreciated how Bates Motel managed to blend genuine scares with compelling drama over its five seasons. It wasn’t just a spooky show; it had real emotional depth. And the critics seemed to agree – it earned a fantastic 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes and even landed three Emmy nominations, making it a standout horror series of the 2010s, in my opinion.

Hannibal

When people talk about amazing horror shows, I always bring up Hannibal. It’s easily one of the best of the 2000s. Like a lot of great horror, it’s based on a classic – in this case, The Silence of the Lambs. But it’s actually a prequel to the movie, and Mads Mikkelsen is just incredible as Hannibal Lecter. He really becomes the character.

I was completely hooked on Hannibal! It ran for three seasons, with 39 episodes total, from 2013 to 2015. The show centers around Hannibal Lecter when he’s working as a famous psychiatrist, and it’s fascinating to watch his complex relationship with Will Graham, an FBI profiler brilliantly played by Hugh Dancy. Will has this incredible, almost unsettling ability to get inside the minds of serial killers, and it makes for a really gripping story.

The Outlaws

Prime Video has a hidden comedy treasure called The Outlaws, featuring Christopher Walken. This 2021 series centers around seven very different people who are brought together to fulfill a community service sentence.

As a huge fan of crime comedies, I’m really into The Outlaws. There are three seasons out now, totaling 17 episodes, and you can binge them all on Prime Video. It’s great to see Jessica Gunning and Stephen Merchant – who also helped create the show – in supporting roles. Everyone’s wondering about Season 4, but thankfully it hasn’t been cancelled… yet! We’re all hoping it gets renewed.

Fallout

The final episode of Fallout season 2 comes out this Wednesday, February 4th, so now’s a great time to start watching! Currently the top show on Prime Video, Fallout – based on the popular video game – is living up to the excitement and is definitely worth checking out.

With a fantastic cast including Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan, Fallout is quickly becoming a must-watch show for Prime Video subscribers. Because season 3 is already planned, it’s a series well worth checking out this week on Prime Video.
