Amazon Prime Video Top 10 Shows and Movies: New and Popular Today, September 6

How big is Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power? It's so big that it's pulled Prime Video's other big-budget fantasy series The Wheel of Time — which was released last November — out of Jeff Bezos' basement and into the list of the top 10 movies and shows on Prime Video. People could not get enough of prophecies, old maps, and people with British accents wearing wigs, I guess! Some other interesting top 10 tidbits: Reacher moves up to No. 3, placing ahead of The Terminal List for the first time; The Boys falls all the way to No. 8 after spending months in the top 5; Untrapped: The Lil Baby Story is off the list entirely; and A League of Their Own is in danger of dropping out of the top 5. 

The top 10 movies and shows on Prime Video are listed below, but we're not just listing them; we're also putting our opinions on there to help you figure out which are worth watching. And to help you plan what you'll watch next, we've added the new shows and movies coming to Prime Video, too.

Coming soon to Prime Video:

• Flight/Risk - This documentary film investigates two crashes of Boeing 737s that happened just months apart. Yes, it's the same topic that Netflix's Downfall: The Case Against Boeing covered earlier this year. (Sept. 9)

New releases on Prime Video:

• Friday Night Lights Seasons 1-5 - The classic drama series that's about so much more than high school football was just added to Prime Video, and it's worth checking out if you've never seen it.
