3 Stellar Shows to Binge-Watch on Prime Video This Weekend (August 1-2)



[

Ryan Gosling‘s space epic Project Hail Mary, one of the best films of 2026 so far, has been a dominant force on the Prime Video streaming charts ever since it debuted. However, after the new action-comedy series, Ride or Die, starring Oscar winner Octavia Spencer and Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham, arrived last weekend, attention was finally turned, and Project Hail Mary lost its top spot. The likes of The Devil’s Mouth and Masters of the Universe are providing some stiff competition, but no one has yet been able to top Ride or Die. With all that in mind, and with much more available in the streamer’s catalog, including a returning series vying for the top spot, here’s a look at three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.

‘Batman: Caped Crusader’ (2024–Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 91% | IMDb: 7.2/10

The Batman Part II might’ve been delayed to February 18, 2028, but the perfect replacement debuted its second season this week on Prime Video, making for a timely binge-watch this weekend. Of course, we’re talking about Batman: Caped Crusader. The series follows Hamish Linklater‘s Batman as he, quite simply, fights crime and aims to restore justice in the city of Gotham.

A pure-hearted animated Batman series, Bruce Timm‘s Caped Crusader divided fans in its first season but earned unanimous praise from critics. The second is proving just as popular with reviewers, including Collider’s own Liam Gaughan, who labeled it a “gripping, more experimental deep dive into The Dark Knight” in his review. The series also features the likes of Barbara Gordon (Krystal Joy Brown), Catwoman (Christina Ricci), and Clayface (Dan Donohue).

Your Hero Has Been Identified
Your MCU Hero Is…

Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.


Queens, New York

🕷️ Spider-Man

You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.

  • You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
  • You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
  • Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
  • Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.


Hell’s Kitchen, New York

😈 Daredevil

You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.

  • You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
  • You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
  • Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
  • Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.


Stark Industries, Malibu

🤖 Iron Man

Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.

  • You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
  • You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
  • Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
  • You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.


New York City

💀 The Punisher

You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.

  • You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
  • You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
  • Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
  • Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.


Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms

⚡ Thor

Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.

  • You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
  • You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
  • Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
  • You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.


Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers

🛡️ Captain America

You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.

  • You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
  • Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
  • Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
  • In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.

‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ (2017–2023)

Rotten Tomatoes: 90% | IMDb: 8.6/10

Of the many great Prime Video shows in the streamer’s vast catalog that you wish you’d watched sooner, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is perhaps the best. You can make up for that this weekend, although you’re unlikely to squeeze in all 43 episodes across the next couple of days. The series follows Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan), who is forced to rebuild her once-perfect 1950s life after her husband unexpectedly leaves.

Miriam finds solace and a hidden talent in stand-up comedy, which provides the perfect platform for this witty series’ heartwarming humor. A near-perfect Brosnahan performance is joined by the likes of Tony Shalhoub, Marin Hinkle, and Alex Borstein in one of the most successful shows of the past decade, illustrated by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel‘s eye-popping 22 Primetime Emmy wins.

3

‘Fallout’ (2024–Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 94% | IMDb: 8.3/10

This week, the beloved Fallout: Factions tabletop game officially expanded with a new release, Fallout: Battle for Boston, which is sure to prove a big hit with fans. Not that anyone needs an excuse, but this is worth celebrating with yet another re-watch of one of the finest video game adaptations to ever hit streaming, which is currently in production on Season 3.

In Fallout, brave young Lucy (Ella Purnell) ventures out of her bunker and into the unknown of a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, following the city’s destruction by a nuclear exchange between America and China 219 years ago. What awaits is a complex, dangerous, and fascinating world ready to change their lives forever.
