Amazon Prime Video Top 10 Shows and Movies: New Releases and Most Popular Today, December 2

Amazon Prime Video isn't known for pumping out a ton of new original shows, but today we're blessed with two new series that have broken into Prime Video's Top 10 Movies and Shows list for Friday, Dec. 2. First up in the fourth spot is Alfred Molina's Three Pines, a murder mystery series set in a small town full of eccentric Canadians. And at No. 6 is Riches, a soapy drama about a family fighting each other for power over the family makeup empire. The Peripheral remains the top show (its Season 1 finale is out today), and The People We Hate at the Wedding is still the top movie.

The most popular new movies and shows on Prime Video are below, but we'll also chime in on whether or not they're worth watching. Just because something is popular, that doesn't mean it's good, right? And to help you plan what you'll watch next, we've added the new shows and movies coming to Prime Video, too.
