3 Best Prime Video shows to stream this weekend
Cross season 2
Available: US/UK
Aldis Hodge returns as novelist James Patterson's crime-solving hero in the second season of this terrific thriller. Alex Cross is a homicide detective in Washington D.C., one with a knack for getting inside the heads of killers. In the first season that put him up against a devious foe known as "the Fanboy Killer." In season 2, he is tackling a very different sort of murderer – a skilled assassin who appears to be targeting billionaires.
Cross season 2 launched earlier this week with a two-episode premiere, hence it bagging the number one spot in Prime Video's TV top 10. It's back on a weekly schedule for the rest of the season, so expect this gripping show to stick around in the charts for a while yet. If you've not seen it yet, now's a good time to go back and watch the entire show from the start.
Fallout
Available: US/UK
The second season of this superb video game adaptation has just wrapped up and remains high in Prime Video's Top 10, taking the third place this week. In Fallout season 2, Lucy (Ella Purnell) and the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) continue their journey tracking Lucy's father Hank (Kyle MacLachlan) and uncover more secrets along the way. The new season also delves deeper into Maximus' (Aaron Moten) story as he tries to maintain the peace amid the fractious Brotherhood of Steel.
Fallout remains a fantastic adaptation of the game series, one that mixes brilliantly-executed action sequences with heart-wrenching character moments. We're sad that we likely have a fairly long wait until the third run, but that does mean we have plenty of opportunities to rewatch the show from the start.
The Night Manager
Available: US/UK
The second season of this great British spy show is streaming in full now on Prime Video and takes the fifth place in this week's top 10. Tom Hiddleston stars as Jonathan Pine, a former British soldier who now works as both the night manager of a hotel and, covertly, as a spy for the UK's Foreign Office. The first season saw Pine recruited by Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), an intelligence operative who is investigating an illegal arms deal run by the charismatic but deadly Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). Pine succeeded in bringing Roper down, but the villain's legacy continues in season 2 when Pine and his associates are marked for death by the sinister Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva).
Inspired by John le Carré's novel of the same name, The Night Manager is a classy and exciting espionage thriller that's packed with twists and turns.
