Throw the jack o' lantern into the compost bin and pull the holiday wreath out of the basement, because the mad rush to Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and all the other winter holidays begins NOW. It's time to shift away from scary movies and toward feel-good films, like Downton Abbey: A New Era, which takes the British aristocrats to the south of France. It joins Amazon Prime Video's top 10 shows and movies list at No. 9. Moving on up the list is the decidedly not-feel-good series The Devil's Hour, a thriller that makes the top 3, behind The Peripheral and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

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.
