10 Best Amazon Prime Original Series
1. The Boys
How can it not be the show that has made people buy Prime subscriptions just to see it?
The Boys is a brilliant upending of the superhero genre, wonderfully adapted by the team over at Amazon for their service. Originally a comic-book series about humans that fight against corrupt superheroes in a system that created them, credit must be given to the team that has so amazingly brought it to life. The blood, the guts, the moments of utter idiocy - The Boys has it all in terms of incredible storytelling and nuts-out comedic action.
From Karl Urban's near-psychotic Billy Butcher to Jack Quaid's repressed Hughie Campbell - The Boys are always best when assembled and pointing their combined force against those that could crush them in a second.
Not only that, but they aren't just a team of boys, Karen Fukuhara's Kimiko and Erin Moriarty's Annie January are by far the most powerful members of the team, giving the show a real upending of the usual toxic masculinity that could have permeated the series.
The cast is excellent, the story is amazing, and the best bit is that there is so much left to come.
