Amazon Prime Video Top 10 Shows and Movies: New Releases and Most Popular Today, January 4

The world feels a little safer knowing that we have Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan at the top of Amazon Prime Video's Top 10 Shows and Movies list. It's been No. 1 since it was released in late December, and it feels like it will be No. 1 until dads find a new show to watch. And because Prime Video has a light month in January, it could be No. 1 for a long time. There isn't a lot of movement on the list, with Three Pines in second and Dr. Seuss Baking Challenge in third for the second day in a row. Things could change this weekend when the Scottish supernatural thriller The Rig, starring Game of Thrones' Iain Glen and Line of Duty's Martin Compston, premieres Friday.

The most popular movies and shows on Amazon Prime Video are below, but we'll also chime in on whether or not they're worth watching. Just because people are watching something, 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.

New Releases on Prime Video:

• Wildcat (2022) - Documentary about a vet with PTSD who finds healing from an ocelot kitten while working at a wildlife conservation outpost in South America. (Dec. 30)

Coming Soon to Prime Video:

• Cosmic Love France (2023) - Another round of Prime's astrology-based dating show, but in France! (Jan. 6)
